Tina and I are very good at quickly mumbling to each other something, usually about someone else in the room.
An interview with Fey and Poehler is like being witness to a private performance, which is a personal dream. They’re genuinely very funny and are most hilarious when they’re improvising and riffing off each other. They make each other laugh frequently and richly – Poehler has a cackle while Fey’s is more breathy, often combined with a clap or leg slap – and they have tangible, alluring chemistry. “Tina and I have a skill that we’re very good at talking quickly and in gibberish which is almost unintelligible,” says Poehler, before going on to demonstrate said gibberish. “It’s usually [when we’re talking] about someone who’s in the room.”
