She has many, and she credits numerous people who have helped her on her path to success. Poehler’s recounting of her friendship with Tina Fey is only one of such stories. And, despite those crappy apartments and weird hours, those creative years often bind you to the best friends you’ll have in your life. Something I love about stories of the ‘hard times’-and Poehler’s is no exception-it that a lot of what a person endures for his or her craft engenders great creativity. She lived in crummy apartments in major urban areas such as Chicago and New York where she learned about comedy at the ImprovOlympic (Chicago) and with the Upright Citizens Brigade (New York). But before that she was a waitress and an office assistant. Poehler has been a regular on Saturday Night Live, a host of various award shows and the star of the sit com Parks and Recreation. If you think that arriving at stardom just consists of lucky breaks-or tossing your screenplay onto the lap of a sleeping star during air travel-then you need the reality check of Amy Poehler’s Yes Please! Her mid-life biography recounts the long years of work she endured-at all odd hours-to get to where she is today.
