An unforgettable Amy Poehler/Jimmy Fallon anecdote from their “Saturday Night Live” days has been recirculating on social media in the wake of Fallon being called out in a Rolling Stone article for creating a toxic workplace as host of “The Tonight Show.”
In a memorable anecdote from Poehler “SNL” bestie Tina Fey’s autobiography “Bossypants,” Fey opens a chapter praising Amy with the story of when she blasted Fallon’s gender-normative response to her comedic style. The story was shared to X (formerly known as Twitter) by The New Yorker’s Erin Overbey, who wrote, “Tina Fey had Jimmy Fallon dead to rights more than a decade ago.”
