Amy Poehler Talks the Kindness of ‘Parks and Recreation’ and the Joys of ‘Inside Out 2’
Amy Poehler is ready to laugh. Poehler, who will be honored with Variety’s Legends and Groundbreakers Award at the Newport Beach Film Festival on Oct. 20, notes there is a running joke around the offices of her production company, Paper Kite. “You know how people talk about living in unprecedented times? We’re like, ‘Let’s get back into precedented times.’ So, we’re calling 2025 ‘The Year of Precedented Times.’ And I think 2025 is The Year of Comedy.”
Poehler elaborates, “We’ve had a lot of incredible art that’s come out of these deep, dystopian fears we’ve all been experiencing, which is great. But it kind of feels like we want to get back to laughing.” As for what makes her laugh, Poehler hesitates. “I have the pleasure and privilege of actually being friends with these amazing funny people,” she admits. “So, the first thought that comes to my mind is my friends.
