Amy Poehler hilariously recalled her Boston roots emerging during an argument on a plane.
âI remember being on a plane with you,â Poehlerâs âSaturday Night Liveâ co-star Ana Gasteyer recalled during an episode of Poehlerâs âGood Hangâ podcast earlier this week.
âYou got into a fight with a guy,â Gastyer continued, noting that her baby Frances â who is now 23 years old â âwas on the plane with us.â
âShe was on the flight and I still got in a fight with the baby around?â an incredulous Poehler repeated.
âThe guy got mad that you were swearing in front of the baby,â Gasteyer confirmed.
âItâs a long story, but what happened was a first-class guy, which we were in first class too, was like, âExcuse me, Iâm trying to â youâre being too loud in first class,ââ Poehler explained.
âMy Boston came out, letâs just say that.â A bemused Gasteyer called the mid-air clash âthe best thing Iâve ever seen.â
Poehler went on to marry âArrested Developmentâ alum Will Arnett in 2003 before finalizing her divorce from him in 2016. They share sons Archie, 17, and Abel, 15.
Gasteyer married husband Charlie McKittrick, in 1996, and along with Frances, the longtime couple share son Ulysses.
Gasteyer, 58, and the âPark and Recreationâ star, 54, famously appeared together on âSaturday Night Liveâ from 2001 to 2002.
They also co-starred in Tina Feyâs iconic 2004 comedy âMean Girls,â with Poehler memorably playing âcool momâ to Rachel McAdamâs popular Regina George character.
Gasteyer, meanwhile, played the mother of Lindsay Lohanâs character, Cady Heron.
In 2019, the comedic icons teamed up for âWine Country,â which also starred Fey, Rachel Dratch, Emily Spivey, Maya Rudolph, and Paula Pell.
While looking back on their time together on âSaturday Night Live,â Poehler and Gasteyer both admitted to being âobsessedâ with lifestyle maven Martha Stewart â whom Gasteyer is famous for flawlessly imitating.
âMartha, Iâm not going to invite you on the show because Iâm too scared, but please listen and know that youâre something else,â Poehler quipped.
