See the rest of the videos from the 2011 Variety Power of Comedy here!

Media partner E! has their favorite moments — including onstage footage of honoree Amy Poehler, Will Ferrell, Maya Rudolph and Andy Richter — right here. Below: one of our favorite video tributes from the show, from Zach Galifianakis. Amy Poehler noted that anyone who couldn’t be at the show in person was “dead” to her — but Zach, we at NFF still love you.

Mentions have included (with links): OK Magazine, Perez Hilton, Xfinity, Radar Online, People Magazine and SocialiteLife.

E! was a media partner at the event, and will be posting exclusive video content as it’s available — we’ll be sure to keep you in the loop. In the meantime, check out their stellar carpet coverage here.

Gregory Ellwood at HitFix did an awesome review of the show, noting that “things got bigger this time around in more ways than one,” and specifically calling out Amy Poehler’s “very funny [acceptance] speech ending with a reminder that comedians may be some of the most self-centered “weirdos” out there, but they also tend to have the kindest hearts as well.”

Proof of this: Check out Amy Poehler and Maya Rudolph at the pre-event cocktail reception, courtesy of Us Weekly, and JustJared also highlighting honoree Amy Poehler and husband Will Arnett on the carpet.

One of our favorite moments from the night is Will Ferrell presenting the 2011 Power of Comedy award to Amy Poehler:

What happens next? Amy Poehler’s hilarious acceptance speech!

Other favorite selections from the night:

Emcee Andy Richter’s comedic stylings.

Poehler’s husband Will Arnett — along with Arrested Development colleagues David Cross and Mitch Hurwitz — gave a heartfelt tribute to the honoree, complete with photo slideshow.

Maya Rudolph loves Amy Poehler — and maybe not in the way that you think. She paid tribute to Amy with a song by “the always-tasteful R. Kelly.”

Sarah Silverman reminisced about some, er, “touching” childhood memories.

A quick FYI: per Amy’s speech, anyone who didn’t show up in person is “dead” to her, even if they sent a hilarious video tribute. So…sorry, Zach Galifianakis (and Zach Galifianakis’ mom / camera tech).

Russell Brand’s video was equally amazing, and included a shout-out to the women behind the Noreen Fraser Foundation, including Noreen and Foundation VP Michelle McBride.
