The Poehlers

Do you think you have influenced her sense of humor?

EILEEN: Bill thinks he’s 100-percent responsible.

BILL: I always say she gets it from me, but no one ever admits that.

EILEEN: She would prefer this interview just be me.

BILL: Amy is more nervous about this interview than she is getting up in front of millions of people. She called me and gave me a couple of test questions and I failed them all. So she said, “Dad, please just be boring.”

— This interview with Amy Poehler’s parents is pretty much the best.
