On a recent episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live, the hilarious and talented Amy Poehler made a lively appearance. Poehler, who is a National Treasure and an Emmy nominee, has been keeping busy with her new podcast called “Say More with Dr Sheila”, where new episodes are released every Thursday.
During the interview, Poehler and Kimmel reminisced about her previous appearance on the show, which happened in February 2020 – just before everything came to a halt due to the pandemic. Since then, Poehler has been making the most of her time, jokingly revealing that she got a new couch, which seems to be the most significant thing she’s done in the past couple of years.
But now, she’s back and better than ever. Poehler expressed her support for the actor strike that is currently happening, eagerly waiting for it to be settled so everyone can get back to work. In the meantime, she has found a way to keep herself entertained by joining TikTok. She admitted that she had been lurking on the platform for a while, enjoying the creativity and humor of the content creators. After mustering up the courage, she finally joined, creating her own humorous videos. Although she is still learning the ropes, she finds it incredibly fun, especially because she was able to involve some of her funny friends, like Maya Rudolph, in her videos.
One interesting tidbit that came out during the interview was Poehler’s experience in Las Vegas during the Cyber hack. Poehler and Rudolph were seemingly oblivious to the situation since they were more focused on the quietness of the casinos. It turns out that the hackers had shut everything down, even causing the doors to rooms to open on their own. Despite the chaos, Poehler and Rudolph went ahead and posted a TikTok video, jokingly declaring that they survived the Vegas hack.
Aside from TikTok, Poehler also talked about her new podcast, “Say More with Dr Sheila”. This podcast satirizes the genre of couples therapy and delves into the fun of giving bad advice. Poehler explained that she wanted to play a therapist who was not actually a therapist. She enjoys exploring the humorous side of relationships and the deep, personal, and intimate aspects that people are willing to share in real time.
But that’s not all Poehler has been up to. She is currently on tour with her longtime friend, Tina Fey, in a show called the “Restless Leg tour”. The tour celebrates their 30 years of friendship and promises a night of laughter and surprises for the audience. Poehler revealed that even after all these years, they still learn something new about each other through the Q&A sessions they do during the show.
In addition to her podcast and tour, Poehler also has a Masterclass where she shares her knowledge and experiences in using improv rules in real life. She emphasized the importance of being unprepared and embracing unexpected moments, making the most out of every situation. Poehler acknowledged the irony of giving advice as an unqualified expert while discussing her podcast, but felt that the Masterclass was a valuable platform to share her insights.
Overall, Amy Poehler‘s appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live was energetic and entertaining. From her adventures on TikTok to her hilarious podcast and tour with Tina Fey, Poehler continues to bring laughter and joy to her fans. With her wit and charm, she proves that she is a force to be reckoned with in the world of entertainment.
