Story Time: I was an extra on the set of Wine Country in April of 2018. I was a waiter for three days, every day was about 15 hours. Nothing better than seeing Amy and her whole gang cracking us ups singing and pretending to be drunk. On the way to lunch one day a buddy of mine accidentally stepped on Amy's foot. "I am so Sorry I didn't mean that," he said. "That's Okay," then Amy proceeded to step on his foot. "Now we're even!" By far one of my favorite moments I witnessed last year.

[@AllisonLinner]

Hahhaha! That's a fun story! So Amy's MO: 1. Step on the foot that stepped on you 2. Pinch children (at least once a year)

[@hd-xc2lz]

If she wasn't a celeb is that worth retelling?

[@doublefeature]

so lucky. it'd be my dream to just witness her working and making comedy. she is literally such a gem.

[@shoooop]

I have to add onto this. Quite a few of my friends worked on it as either PAs or background and everyone said it was one of the best sets they’ve ever been on (we have another project in the area that shoots 6 months out of the year that’s less fun and tends to be tiring) and they went on and on about how lovely and amazing Amy is. Just the sweetest person ever who made the set a great environment.

[@alisonlee8309]

brittany rietz .

[@Celegnir]

She is actually Lesley Knope. Parks and Rec is such an amazing show

[@Lucyna122]

Ikr! I can't see her in a different way than a crazy Lesley xDDD

[@regiseal]

She's so much more than that

[@Celegnir]

@@regiseal of course! I didn't want to diminish her as an actor or as a person. She's great and so energetic

[@Noah-Lach]

The Beast Yes, “cancelled” after seven seasons. We all know the *best* shows are the ones that go on for years past their expiry date instead of knowing when to end it properly.

[@Noah-Lach]

The Beast Don’t care. The show ended exactly when it should have and delivered a satisfying conclusion while still near the top of its game. If you want to shit on it for not suffering the same tragic fate as The Office then that’s your prerogative - the rest of us will be here, happy that they didn’t milk an eight season out of a story that was clearly ready to end.

[@charliet6144]

[@jgbgw591]

We need more people like her in the world. She's just happy and nice.

“One time I drank an entire bottle of vinegar, I thought it was terrible wine.” 😆😆😆

[@justinballinger6621]

“One time I went to a really boring movie with a guy and while I was asleep he tried to pull out one of my teeth. I literally woke up with his hand in my mouth. We went out a couple times after that but then he got weird.”

You do! She's a nat'l friggin treasure

[@marias7599]

I completely and entirely agree

[@heymarey150]

“Just once a year, give him a good pinch!” 🤣🤣🤣

[@TheNetflixNook]

Amy Poehler is just the best. She needs a new show on TV or Netflix

[@helenalbiston8253]

I love how Amy and Tina both change the pitch of their voice when they’re telling a story. Go look at Tina’s and Jimmy’s video on her sitting in front of Trump at Radio City Music Hall.

[@riverd5698]

I prefer Leslie’s mantra towards wine. ‘I’ll have a glass of red wine and I’ll have the cheapest one because I can’t tell the difference.’

[@doublefeature]

i'm getting notes of dried robins blood, old dirty cashews and.. just a HINT of a robots bath water.

[@GenerallyTyler]

I wonder if the wine episode scenes were also inspired by their trips and Amy’s method of describing wine.

[@kimberlysantillana4474]

Amy is such a natural beauty! I love her. I’m barely watching Parks of Recreation after watching the office and god I love her. ❤️

[@Reyeston007]

Parks and rec is the only show that can take you out of depression from finishing The office.

[@TeresaXD1701]

@@Reyeston007 That is so true 😭

[@MrGenexxx]

never watched the show. Is fat star lord any good in it?

[@kimberlysantillana4474]

Raina Hamilton thanks love! I’ll definitely check it out. (:

[@kimberlysantillana4474]

Reyes I. That’s how I feel right now. I was never able to watch the office growing up, I never watched television or owned a tv for most of my life growing up and now that I got Netflix, I watched it and I fell in love just after the first episode and now that I finished, I was so heartbroken. Now I’m watching parks and rec and after a few episodes, I fell in love with it and my depression is now cured haha

First Lil' Sebastian, now Amy Poehler, so many references to Parks and Rec 😍 my inner fan of that show is SHAKING 💗

[@maggieelizabethh3043]

Amy talking about wine reminds me of that one episode of Parks and Rec. I think it was flu season 2

[@a.static.kaleidoscope]

Dude I just watched it today

[@The1AndOnlyGoldenboy]

She's literally telling people how those "wine experts" operate, and yet some will still take them seriously.

[@TigesTheWinemaker]

Some excellent wine tasting pointers there - so much energy hahahah

[@toryjohnson9595]

Wow I wish my mom was as nice as Amy. I would show my mom remixes and new songs I found and she just talk about how it came from her generation. It always let me down "I already know and I know it better than you"

[@friendswithbenefit22]

Amy Poehler is ALWAYS a win 🙌🏼

[@alexandria3583]

"with a hint of a ravens bathwater" "i think we can all agree that all wine tastes the same, and if you spend more than $5 on wine...you are very stupid" thank you april ludgate.

The most enjoyable interview! I love you, Amy!

A good teacher can indeed change your world. I’ve been blessed to have had some really great teachers and professors. They’re rare, but they’re out there!

Love Amy Poehler like an aunt of my own❤️

[@flowerbit4137]

I loved this movie. It was so cute and funny.

[@MT-tx7bu]

Amy, Parks and Rec......We miss it and we love you♥ Favorite line by Leslie Knope: "Leslie: If I was sick, could I do this? Ann: What are you doing? Leslie: Cartwheels. Am I not doing them? Ann: No.

the flu and the fight are hands down some of the best comedy ever made.

[@geoffreyfeinberg9792]

She's funny. Cute as well. She's joyful. Maybe that's why she was cast as Joy in Inside Out. Good former SNL cast. Hope she does more movies.

[@Ben-hl5mu]

Wow! I'm impressed Leslie can juggle being a city council woman and a director at the same time! Keep kicking ass Knope 😎🤩🤗

[@helenalbiston8253]

It’s also funny how big the wine glasses are compared to their faces! 😂

[@cherrychocolate18]

I love her so much, more Amy please!!

[@whiskeyandcigarettes6011]

First movie that I actually laughed at in awhile. Definitely a chick flick for late 30’s to 50’s.

[@KP-zb1tr]

Loved it. I'm not late 30s and over though :)

[@Dev-ny6ko]

Amy is perfect in all ways & I hope she understands how admired she is

I got a hint of Steve Carell when Amy's describing the wine lol.

She is so Leslie! 😍

She s sooo cute, I love her, can't wait for the show

[@PlaceForAnEcho]

Since Poehler loves to curse I think she’d appreciate this: fucking love her.

[@entrastic]

Biggest dilemma I have ever faced. On one hand, it's Amy Poehler and therefore I really really wanna watch. But on the other hand, it's 5 mins of Jimmy Fallon's fake laughter

[@lise891]

He's actually more genuine with Amy, probably because they've worked together and know each other.

[@MKMK-bj2sk]

*Jimmy should share his 'PRO' tip on fake laughing*

I love reading the wine menu for entertainment, but I can't imagine anyone takes those descriptions seriously? "Reminiscent of the Orient with hints of spices and wood." I don't think it's wine what those authors are drinking.

[@SunflowerSpotlight]

Self filling prophecy.

[@kissit012]

We're socially conditioned to believe that men are better at stem subjects so they are encouraged to do it (and continue) from an early age. Women and girls are actively discouraged from the pursuit with myths about women being bad at math (women invented maths and most science) or the representation of women in stem in media is strictly for sex/entertainment purposes to further the male protagonists plot. tl;dr because tradition

[@treetrain]

@@kissit012 The tend to excel in it early all the way to high school and college and then seem to go the other way. Whereas men tend to struggle with it all the way to high school and college and then tend to turn it around. Strange.
