Amy Poehler doesn't have time for dumb celebrity interviews in Trump's America
America needs Amy Poehler now more than ever.
The comedian was recently included on the Hollywood Reporter's "40(ish) Most Powerful People in Comedy" list. All comedians are required to submit answers to their mildly entertaining but obviously meaningless questionnaires.
Poehler was having none of it.
When asked for her "most memorable heckler," Poehler responded: "Who cares? The whole world is on fire."

It only got better from there.
Her dream product endorsement? "A giant whale just died in Thailand after eating 80 plastic bags."
Guilty pleasure? "Let's not forget over 4,600 people have died in Puerto Rico."
What were her thoughts on college comedy audiences? "Kids are afraid they'll be shot in their own schools. What has happened to us?"
Sitcom she'd reboot? "Mister Rogers. I miss him. We need him."
The funniest thing about the Trump administration? "Are you f*cking kidding me?"
Poehler's entire interview is a gift to this dumpster fire of a year. You can read the full, darkly hilarious and depressingly spot-on interview, here.
