“I cannot say how much I admire and respect Amy Poehler. In comedy, a lot of what you see feels derivative and uninspired; with Amy, there is always something fresh and unexpected, and that’s why I love her work. I’ve always felt a bond with her, but it was not until I worked with her on her sitcom Parks and Recreation that I really got to know her. I have found that she is as kind and caring a person as she is hilarious. Simply put, Amy Poehler is my hero.” — Aziz Ansari

Alan Sepinwall: What does Nick Offerman need to do to get himself a nomination already?
Amy Poehler: A lot of people don’t know that just last week, Tom Selleck presented him with a Lifetime Mustache Award, which a lot of people don’t know. He’ll always have that, and they can’t take that away from him. But it’s a hot load of bullshit that he didn’t get a nomination, and you can quote me on that. But I suspect and hope that will change. And certaintly that field, there’s a lot of talented men vying for that position. If you asked Nick, he’d say the show is represented. But I would say his work on the show is the best stuff on TV, and he deserves every award. A lot of people don’t know that Nick designed all of the costumes in “Game of Thrones.

"Amy is our team captain — it’s like having Michael Jordan, if he was a sunshine-filled blonde lady."

![Jimmy: He [Will Arnett] told a story that I think is funny to all of us but may not be as funny to you about how he has become even more addicted to his Xbox than he was before you had the child.Amy: Yeah, isn’t that weird? You’d think you’d have less time. But no, he has found a way to carve out some more time to kill some more Germans. You know what’s attractive? Walking upstairs at midnight and your husband is bathed in a blue light and he’s screaming at his friends telling them to get down. He wears headphones now so as not to disturb me. He’ll look at me and he has no idea who I am and he scans my face like a Terminator. Then he realized that I’m not someone he’s supposed to kill.](http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lmwjsn77fb1qa41ico1_500.gif)

“I remember Amy being three months pregnant at the end of 19 weeks of shooting, and it’s 11:30 at night and everyone’s starting to feel it and Amy will improvise an extemporaneous rap about the crew and go around punching people. She’s the head cheerleader and the quarterback of the team at the same time.” — Nick Offerman (x)

Has something changed in the last 5 or 10 years for women in comedy? ‘Cause there used to be this myth that women can’t be as funny as men.
Amy: Ugh, this question is boring.
