If you saw the pilot of Netfix's Wet Hot American Summer then you know Amy Poehler is back as the camp's acting coach, and she is just as perky as ever. And where does she get this endless energy? I'm not sure, and now she is bringing us a new series called Difficult People on Hulu premiering tomorrow night (August 5). The new series stars Billy Eichner and Julie Klausner as two obnoxious NYC comics who don't take crap from anyone. Yes, the old New York comic on the street shtick. That said, Eichner did some fun pieces on Poehler's Parks and Recreation as an over-the-top office manager, so I may take a look.
And back to Poehler, with the end of Parks and Recreation last spring and the recent cancellation of her Welcome to Sweden series after two seasons, she still has a third season of Broad City and did some great work with Disney's summer movie release Inside Out, so I expect we will be seeing much more of her (or at least hearing her) and her projects. That's great news for all of us.
