[@todddepue681]

"Because I'm an 8, I'm already an expert." Lmao. Love Amy! So awesome.

[@ISBuckley8]

So basically, Leslie Knope and Joy are slightly more intense versions of Amy Poehler. And I kind of love that since Amy is always a lot of fun to watch

[@treetopjones737]

Years ago Amy played "Andy's sister" on Conan's show.

[@griffinmathers929]

I thought so until reading her Memoir. Leslie is all cuddly earnest nerd, who wants to make people happy. Amy Poehler OTOH, I think would be slightly scary.

[@janethalken8269]

I heard so much hype for Tina Fey's book "bossy pants" back when, but Rachel dratch's book is even better, and Amy poehler's book is so much pure gold.

[@leighannseaman]

Yes please was so dang good! 😭

[@jruedas81]

Rachel Dratch’s book is hilarious. Check out the audio book as well.

[@shawnac9289]

I didn’t know she had a book! Where have I been? Thanks guys

[@griffinmathers929]

Not listening to comedians read their own memoirs is just a crime against humanity :)

[@zzzcocopepe]

amy poehler is really funny on these interviews. This is the funniest she's ever been, when she is on these interviews with Seth. She should do like a show where she just chit chats with people because she's funny as hell

[@kasondaleigh]

She seems like a great friend.

[@Monika-mh2je]

That group of SNL cast achieved a lot and still working in comedy field which is amazing. Congrats to all.👍🤩

[@griffinmathers929]

Which group?

[@keeshiabrie]

I kid you not, I was binging Amy’s appearances on this show the other day. I screamed out loud when I saw this upload. I love Seth and Amy!

[@thatsrats]

When she described Fours I was like, "Oh no, that sounds like me." so I paused the video, took the quiz, and YUP I'm a Four. To answer your question Amy, we *don't* get anything done!

[@MadAboutBrows]

I recently became aware of my four-ness, and identified greatly before she even said 4 🤣🤣🤣

[@mirandaharlow3719]

This comment inspired me to check, and I am a four!

[@JacqueArmijo]

@@Svengali764 hahaha it's not rising, it's a wing! you're thinking of astrology

[@dbyd777]

I just finished watching "Lucy and Desi".....Mrs Poehler: THANK YOU. I have always loved Lucy......but now and more than ever, I also love Amy. ❤

[@sds136]

For those who know Leslie Knope's obsession with Joe Biden it's very wholesome that Amy and Joe Biden were the first guests on Seth's show 🤗❤️

[@griffinmathers929]

Why is that wholesome? I'm thinking that word has some new meaning. It's coincidental or very good booking to have them on. (Ooh, the New York Times says this is a Gen Z Compliment "examples: A monkey riding on a piglet's back, or two people on opposite sides of a foggy window playing Tic Tac Toe") huh. So "things that seem charming but are not realistic".

[@fabiadutra8711]

I had never heard of that test before this video, so when it was done, I took it and I am a 4!! lol, then I came back to recall what Amy had said about fours and laughed!!! at one point she said (about fours) "how do you get thru the day?!" how much time do you have Amy?

[@peterg5383]

best chemistry i've ever seen. kirk & spock, starsky and hutch, batman & robin, lennon & mc cartney - all great, but nothing compares to seth & amy.

[@steffie17]

she really did put the medal on lmao

[@SarahADowney]

She says she’s an Eight and then went on to describe a lot of the characteristics of a counterphobic Six. It’s awesome that she’s talking about the Enneagram but I feel like she got the types mixed up. She literally said “I value safety and security,” which are core Six values. But I guess she also said "I have no idea what I’m talking about,” so 😂

[@MusgroveMarianne]

I agree that she's not an 8. She doesn't have the commanding, 'I'm in charge' vibe of an 8. I wonder if she's actually a 7 because she's confident, upbeat, fun, a good anecdotalist + she gets things done. Maybe she has a 6 wing?

[@SarahADowney]

@@MusgroveMarianne Yeah, I could see a 7w6 or a 6w7 far more over 8. It was the "I want to know who's in charge" piece that made me think more 6w7, because Sixes are hyper aware of authority. Eights are hyper aware of *power* and power dynamics, but that and authority aren't always the same thing.

[@MusgroveMarianne]

@@SarahADowney , good point re: authority vs power 👍

[@introverthoney8876]

I think she meant that she values safety and security which is why she wants to be in charge: it’s the only way she feels safe and secure. Sixes are usually introverted personalities who do not want to be in charge, as they’re too busy preparing for the apocalypse.

[@bubblesezblonde]

2:27 ~ It's true! I have interviewed a few Olympians and the Bronze medal winner of a shooting event told me the exact same thing in almost the exact same words.

Correction: I know you were joking, but 8s aren't passive aggressive, they're just aggressive

[@Luke_E_Babyy]

My brother and I were hard into the Comedy Central UCB show before she was on SNL and it was honestly jarring seeing the crossover for the first time. We even got home burned dvd’s through eBay before it was given a proper release. Also watched Wild Girls Gone at The Enzian in Orlando.

[@francesmadden214]

my new biggest flex: same enneagram as amy

[@StorytellingHeadshots]

It makes me sad to hear the Enneagram described as a 'personality test'. Actually it's a way to diagnose your personal spiritual sickness ( and hopefully help you to find a remedy.) Your 'number' is actually your personal 'poison' it's the thing you go to to 'heal' yourself, but that is actually pushing you further from your destination. So the person who is a "3" is a high achiever, but that's because the 3 has a wound from childhood that causes them to believe they need to 'perform' to earn love. If you discover you are a 3, you are not meant to then think of that as you 'personality' but rather to be able to find the CURE for the 3 ( which is accepting that you will be loved for yourself, not for what you do.) By knowing that, if you 'are a '3' you can hold a mirror up to yourself and see that the very thing you are trying to use to 'earn love' is what keeps you from receiving love. Treating the Enneagram as just a personality quiz is like getting a medical diagnosis and then instead of treating it, going around and saying "I am a Breast Cancer....isn't that fun? Oh and YOU are a Broken Arm!" ---in other words the point of the Enneagram isn't to label, but as a means to see your "sickness" clearly, or the thing that you are going to for help that actually is tripping you up---and then to be able to enact treatment for that spiritual wound that is holding you back from being whole. It's a powerful tool. Don Riso and Russ Hudson wrote a comprehensive book that is one of the best resources, also Helen Palmer has excellent books on the spiritual roots of the Enneagram and how it can be used for self-understanding and growth.

[@MusgroveMarianne]

Good description of the true purpose of the Enneagram. As a Type 1, your accuracy pleases me 🤣

[@introverthoney8876]

I already knew I needed help for being a 4.

[@ZakClaxton]

You know these are two brilliant comedians on a fun talk show, right? Late Night is not a scientific research program nor some kind of documentary. Perhaps your need to talk about this is one of your personality flaws that you are addressing.

[@hannathompson7998]

Well I just took the enneagram test and I am split between 4,5, 7 & 8. Guess I am complicated

[@GrumpyLoco6]

I'd recommend going over those four numbers and looking at each of their core desires and fears and how much you relate to them and whichever most applies to you is your core type.
