Amy Poehler makes stark confession about being in the public eye
Amy Poehler may be embracing her age - but she doesn't mind a bit of help from photoshop. The 53-year-old comedian revealed she does not object to a little airbrushing on her photos, sharing her thoughts while talking to Saturday Night Live alum Seth Meyers, 50, on her podcast Good Hang. The duo were talking about when they graced the cover of Entertainment Weekly for SNL's 50th anniversary, admitting it was 'worst photograph' taken of either of them. The pair joked they both have great faces - but only 'as long they are moving.' 'I feel very strongly that the thing we have in common is we have great faces that as long as they're moving,' Meyers joked. Poehler then went on to joke she is now a fan of retouching, sharing her hilarious reaction when she is told her photoshoot snaps may receive a 'light retouch.' 'Light retouch?' she said in disbelief. 'I would say "eyes and a mouth. That's all I want to see."' she joked. 'I want the heaviest retouching you could ever do.' 'Don't feel like you're doing me a courtesy of being like "We barely touched it,"' Meyers agreed. 'I'm like "Go nuts, get your best touch guy in here."' Poehler cheekily added its very in vogue to be 'natural' right now, joking she's 'against that.' 'One hundred percent if you want to see the real thing,' Meyers agreed. 'But otherwise you're getting the retouch.' 'If you're asking me to stay still then we need to paint over. We need to change my nose and everything,' Poehler said. Poehler has previously spoken about the joy of getting older, posting a photo of herself using the 'old age' filter in 2023. The Mean Girls actress simply captioned the picture, 'May I be so lucky.' She previously spoke about finding joy in getting older, telling The Ageist: 'When you get older, one of the sad and hard things about getting older is you have to make room for joy. She continued: 'It doesn't come as naturally as when you're little. So you have to keep making sure you make some room for it..' Meyers and Poehler met working on Saturday Night Live in 2001, and went on to host hosting Weekend Update together. Poehler left SNL in 2008, while Meyers left in 2014 and now hosts Late Night With Seth Meyers. Poehler has had an impressive lineup of guests on her podcast since it launched, including Michelle Obama, Tina Fey, and Jack Black. The comedian revealed the moment that left her red-faced with Michelle on her podcast, explaining it happened when the former First Lady made a cameo on her hit sitcom Parks and Recreation in 2014. She confessed the unfortunate incident to Michelle, 61, herself. 'We were busy. We were hitting a bunch of places that day - you were perfect, you got your line,' Amy told Barack Obama's wife. 'You hit your mark, you said your line and my character Leslie Knope is supposed to be overwhelmed by seeing you and I, Amy Poehler, was also very jazzed and I went to say my line and I drooled,' she recounted, laughing. Michelle also let out a laugh and said she did not remember the incident, with Amy admitting she is 'so glad.' 'I don't know if I saw it,' she reassured Amy once again.

Amy Poehler revealed this week on a new episode of her podcast, Good Hang with Amy Poehler, that when she was making the fan-favorite series Parks and Recreation , she and her co-stars used to pretend like they were on a cheesy law series that they titled Philly Justice . It went so far that they actually shot a pilot episode, and there has been an unreleased trailer for the show… until now! Poehler released the trailer, and it does not disappoint. It features Poehler, as well as regular series stars Rashida Jones, Adam Scott, Nick Offerman, and Paul Rudd, as well as guest star Kathryn Hahn, and hilariously, The Practice 's Dylan McDermott. It's a crack up, and with this cast and premise, it's exactly the show I'd love to binge right now! I wish it really was coming to DVD like it says in the trailer. Check it out below, and enjoy!
