Can Amy Poehler please write a book every week? The Parks and Recreation star has been everywhere lately, as she promotes her first book, the rollicking part-memoir, part-life guide, Yes Please, on bookshelves now. It's been a whirlwind media blitz for the 43-year-old, and Poehler has remained her charming, self-deprecating, and hilarious self throughout.
We've watched, listened, and read with delight, as she's recounted her clandestine date with John Stamos, quizzed George R. R. Martin on his Game of Thrones knowledge, and talked openly about what was an admittedly painful divorce.
