Amy Poehler, one of the most popular actresses in Hollywood, joins Seth Meyers in the latest episode of Late Night with Seth Meyers. Amy has been a regular guest on the show over the years, and this time, she discusses her latest project - the Netflix film 'Moxie.'
She talks about the difficulties she faced regarding the social message in the film, which urged her to do more research. Amy discusses how she educated herself by reading books and connecting with people because she felt that it was her responsibility to be informed about such subject matter. She also mentions how she wanted to provide her children with an inspiring role model through this project.
The topic then shifts towards Amy's experience with hosting the recent Golden Globe awards but not having the audience present. She explains how she found it difficult to get a response from the audience during her opening monologue, which made her feel as though she was performing a stand-up comedy routine in an empty bar. Additionally, she discusses some of the best moments that occurred throughout the evening.
The conversation then moves to discussing Fall Out Boy, who perform some of their latest hits on the show. Amy shares a funny anecdote about her son mistaking the band for a real fall-out boy, which leads to a discussion about the general public's lack of knowledge about band names.
In keeping with the theme of discussing films and television, Seth and Amy start a game called 'The Denzel Washington Category Game.' It's a classic game where they name a movie or TV show and challenge each other to name all the actors in it. Seth wins the game, which leads to a discussion about his memory capacity.
Towards the end of the show, Seth and Amy discuss the difficulties of interviewing people during the pandemic and how it has impacted their approach. However, they acknowledge that it is important to continue the tradition of talk shows and have these conversations even during difficult times.
Overall, the episode is a lively chat between Seth Meyers and Amy Poehler, with a few laughs and insightful moments. It’s a must-watch for fans of the show and Amy Poehler.
