Mess with Amy Poehler and you’ll get horns.
A tense backstage moment between “Saturday Night Live” co-stars Poehler and Jimmy Fallon two decades ago went viral last week in the wake of Fallon being accused of allegedly creating a toxic workplace on “The Tonight Show.”
The exchange was referred to in Fey’s book as “one in a series of love letters” to Poehler and occurred early in Poehler’s first season. (She first appeared in the first SNL episode after the September 11 attacks.) In the writer’s room before Wednesday’s reading, Poehler engaged in what Fey called some “nonsense” with Seth Meyers and “did something corny as a corny character.” The “joke” was “dirty, loud and impolite.” “
