Amy Poehler Recalls Plane Argument After Being Scolded for Swearing Near Co-Star’s Baby

The story surfaced on Poehler’s Good Hang podcast during a nostalgic chat with Ana Gasteyer about their Mean Girls years.

Overview

  • Poehler and Gasteyer recounted the exchange on a December 2025 episode of Good Hang, which has since been widely covered by entertainment outlets.
  • Poehler said a fellow first-class passenger complained she was being too loud while he tried to rest and objected to her swearing near the baby.
  • She described her response by saying, “My Boston came out,” without detailing the exact words used during the verbal back-and-forth.
  • Gasteyer recalled that her daughter Frances, now 23, was an infant on the flight and called Poehler’s reaction “the best thing I’ve ever seen.”
  • The anecdote is presented as a lighthearted memory from the pair’s SNL and Mean Girls era, with no further developments or other accounts from the unnamed passenger.
