Amy Poehler Did Not Play Along In An Interview And Won The Internet Over With Her Answers

ADVERTISEMENT

Just last week Hollywood Reporter announced their “40(ish) Most Powerful People in Comedy” list, celebrating the funniest people in the industry. It was no shocker that Amy Poehler, best known for her role of Leslie Knope in Parks and Recreation, was on that list. Poehler has many awards and nominations for her comedic and acting skills, but those aren’t her only talents, as Poehler has written and produced many of her own shows and books.

Quick wit and funny remarks are, naturally, expected of such people like Amy Poehler and it’s probably what the Hollywood Reporter interviewer expected from the comedian during a small Q&A for the magazine. However, instead of funny short answers, Poehler surprised the interviewer, as well as the rest of the world, by not playing along. Scroll down to read her answers below and tell us what you think about her response.

Giedrė Vaičiulaitytė

As a writer and image editor for Bored Panda, Giedrė crafts posts on many different topics to push them to their potential. She's also glad that her Bachelor’s degree in English Philology didn’t go to waste (although collecting dust in the attic could also be considered an achievement of aesthetic value!) Giedrė is an avid fan of cats, photography, and mysteries, and a keen observer of the Internet culture which is what she is most excited to write about. Since she's embarked on her journalistic endeavor, Giedrė has over 600 articles under her belt and hopes for twice as much (fingers crossed - half of them are about cats).
