In a recent episode of the popular talk show, David Letterman welcomed the funny and lovely Amy Poehler as his guest. Poehler, known for her role in the hit television series Parks and Recreation, shared her experiences of being a mother and her love for New York City.
Poehler, who has two children, expressed her excitement to be back in the bustling city she calls home. She recounted a humorous encounter with a cab driver who mistook her for an actress and shared her fondness for the fast-paced lifestyle of New York.
However, Poehler also revealed a small issue – she has developed a case of road rage while driving in Los Angeles. The usually relaxed Poehler confessed that the minute she encounters LA traffic, she goes “bananas” and has thrown the double finger salute to other drivers, even with her children in the car.
Despite her occasional outbursts on the road, Poehler acknowledges the importance of finding non-offensive ways to express her frustration. She humorously shared that she has found calling someone “sweetheart” in a condescending tone to be incredibly effective at getting under their skin.
Poehler also discussed the challenges of having two kids and the exponential increase in responsibilities. She admitted that sometimes she forgets she has a second child and that it is a constant juggle to attend to both of them. Nevertheless, she finds joy in watching her boys interact and imagines future moments like bunk bed times.
Switching gears, Poehler shared her excitement about the success of Parks and Recreation. The show, set in the fictional town of Pawnee, Indiana, explores the quirky dynamics of various government departments. Poehler’s character, Leslie Knope, works in the Parks and Recreation Department, often at odds with the library department, which she described as “the smart kids in class” who always get their way.
In a lighthearted moment, Poehler joked about the library department stealing everyone’s husbands on the show, garnering laughter from the audience. She concluded the interview by expressing her gratitude for the support of fans and her love for her children.
Whether it’s Poehler’s hilarious anecdotes about her road rage or her insights into the world of Parks and Recreation, her interview with David Letterman showcased her wit and charm. As fans eagerly await new episodes of the show, one thing is certain – Amy Poehler continues to entertain and captivate audiences with her comedic talents.
