Peacock's popular food competition series Baking It is back for a second season. The show will premiere on Monday, December 12, and just like the previous season, singer and actress Maya Rudolph will be seen hosting the show. Andy Samberg, however, is being replaced by Amy Poehler as co-host.
According to the Celebrity Net Worth, Maya Rudolph, a cast member of SNL, has a net worth of $20 million. Amy Poehler's net worth is $25 million, and she charges $200,000 for each episode/appearance in any series. Thus, actress Poehler is richer than Rudolph.
