"Amy Poehler may be the most-liked woman in Hollywood. Her latest project, the mega-popular podcast "Good Hang with Amy Poehler," certainly encourages that impression. It's perhaps her biggest platform since the hit series "Parks and Recreation," in which she played the idealistic bureaucrat Leslie Knope, went off the air a decade ago. And while many of her former co-stars have branched out into new territory- Aziz Ansari by reinventing himself as a melancholy romantic in "Master of None,""
""Good Hang," like "Rogan," is a video podcast; each week, Poehler sits across a blond-wood table from a celebrity or two. The casual intimacy of her interactions with famous friends is an undeniable part of the show's appeal. She uses nicknames for her longtime pals: Tina Fey is "Betty," Kathryn Hahn is "Hahnsy," Rashida Jones is "Bones." Occasionally, she holds a guest's hand."
Amy Poehler enjoys broad popularity and has translated that into a mega-popular podcast, Good Hang with Amy Poehler. The show launched in March and quickly climbed podcast charts, briefly dethroning The Joe Rogan Experience on Spotify. Good Hang is a video podcast filmed at a blond-wood table where Poehler conducts casual, intimate conversations with celebrity friends. Poehler uses nicknames, sometimes holds guests' hands, and relies on long shared histories to make curated moments feel authentic. The format produces deeply personal exchanges, including Aubrey Plaza speaking candidly about widowhood and public grief.
