Amy Poehler Says She’s Too Scared to Book Martha Stewart on ‘Good Hang

She pointed to years of SNL impressions of Stewart as the reason for her hesitation.

Overview

  • Poehler made the remark on the December 23 episode of her Good Hang podcast during a conversation with fellow SNL alum Ana Gasteyer.
  • Poehler and Gasteyer said a barely moving mouth is key to a Martha Stewart impression and noted their long-running fascination with her on-camera style.
  • Stewart has previously said she enjoys watching impressions of herself, calling imitation the highest form of flattery in a Tonight Show interview.
  • Stewart told Jimmy Fallon she was once asked to host SNL but could not because her parole officer declined to grant the time following her release from Alderson.
  • Separate reporting highlights Stewart’s bond with her peafowl and her post that coyotes killed six birds, prompting plans to enclose their yard.
