Amy Poehler on Award Shows, Galentine’s Day & Teenagers

honestly amy saying she’s going out with the cast of parks and rec for galentine’s day gives me life

[YouFightLikeACow]

"Parks and Recreation" is lit'rlly my favorite show of all time and she's my favorite character on the show and possibly on TV. She just makes me so happy. And also, her character in "Inside Out" is delightful.

[KHUZAFARAUF]

Her book "Yes, Please" is so much fun.

[burtingsy]

Amy being happy for Parasite and Director Bong made me smile the way Leslie smiles when she eats waffles!

[sepehr_moghani]

Hands down, Parks and Rec was the best show of all time.

[MissNoragnn]

I had a friend who transitioned to male years back and we use to celebrate Galentines day, in Spanish “galán” means handsome man, and “gallant” means gentleman, so I we celebrated “gallant-tines day” basically same pronunciation.

[whataloadofbollox]

I always loved the interactions between Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson, so glad they never made it cheesy and them 2 fall in love even though they loved each other !

[antipeter]

Amy looks like such a fun person to hang out with

[nefarious]

Amy’s SNL rap skit that was written for Sarah Palin was the funniest skit ever. Ever! And she was 9 months pregnant. Amazing lady!

[nattasle]

Leslie Knope and Ann Perkins finally getting married 😍😍

[Julie_Truly_in_KY]

I don’t watch the Oscars, but Tina and Amy hosting just might sway me to watch 🥰
