Amy Poehler

One of Hollywood’s most versatile and sought-after talents, Amy Poehler’s credits include that of actress, writer, director, producer, and bestselling author. Poehler is perhaps best known for her starring role on the Emmy-nominated NBC comedy series Parks and Recreation, in which her portrayal of Leslie Knope earned her a Golden Globe award for “Best Actress in a TV Series, Musical, or Comedy,” the award for “Best Actress in a TV Comedy” at the American Comedy Awards, and a Gracie Award. For her work on the show, Poehler also received six consecutive Emmy nominations, two additional Golden Globe nominations, and three Screen Actors Guild Awards nominations. She can currently be heard as the titular character in the scripted podcast Say More with Dr? Sheila, where she is also an executive producer in partnership with Audacy and her production company, Paper Kit Productions. Her film credits include Wine Country (which she also directed and produced), The House, Sisters, Wet Hot American Summer, Baby Mama, Blades of Glory, Mean Girls, and many more. Among many voice acting credits, Poehler lent her voice as Joy in Disney Pixar’s Oscar-winning smash hit Inside Out. Her first book, Yes Please, was an instant #1 New York Times bestseller, spending over 23 weeks on the list. Despite her stardom, Poehler’s down-to-earth personality and relatability connect with any audience, as anyone can connect to her impactful message of positivity, creativity, and perseverance.

Last year, Poehler made her documentary directorial debut with Amazon’s Emmy-winning documentary Lucy & Desi. Other recent projects include Peacock’s unscripted series The Gentle Art of Swedish Death Cleaning (executive producer & narrator), Peacock’s Baking It (executive producer & co-host alongside Maya Rudolph), NBC’s hit crafting competition series Making It (executive producer & co-host alongside Nick Offerman), FOX’s animated series Duncanville (co-creator, executive producer, and lead voice), Netflix’s Emmy-nominated series Russian Doll (executive producer), Amazon’s Harlem (executive producer) and Adult Swim’s Three Busy Debras (executive producer). She also starred in and directed Netflix’s Moxie and will star in and produce the upcoming Roku film, First Time Female Director. She has several additional projects in development as part of Paper Kite Productions, including NBC’s thriller-drama The Mother-In-Law, and the Netflix animated feature Steps. Poehler’s fantastically successful Hollywood career inspires audiences to pursue their passions, stay motivated, and make a difference in the world.
