![]() In addition to an annotation from “Parks and Recreation” co-creator Michael Schur, Poehler sprinkles in several short reflections from her parents. Meyers isn’t the only cameo in this eclectic memoir. Seth Meyers, who makes a brief guest contributor appearance in “Yes Please,” says that when he wants to smile, he thinks about Poehler’s son - who was born a week after she performed that rap - watching his mother’s virtuosity one day. ![]() Because she was there, she is human, she knows it was special to be so pregnant, so electric, producing satire so immediate on live television. ![]() One of many small gifts Poehler gives readers of “Yes Please” is writing about that moment from her perspective - a glimpse into what it felt like to be on the inside of something special. She mime-shot at a guy in a moose costume and shouted, “Now you’re dead, because I’m an animal and I’m bigger than you.” She was nine months pregnant and rapping. Then, at the Weekend Update desk, with Palin a few feet away, Poehler rose and went for it. Sarah Palin stopped by “Saturday Night Live” and looked on while Tina Fey - whom Poehler calls her “comedy wife” - reprised her spot-on impression of the Republican vice presidential nominee. The general election was less than three weeks away. But, more directly, with her Sarah Palin rap from 2008. ![]() ![]() Bored of the midterm elections? Of your Twitter feed?

Nina lost sight of her as she approached the door of the building. Now the woman paused, seemed to be searching for an address. Her boot heels made a lonely clop-clop sound. Here came someone, but no, it was a woman, and too young. ![]() She hoped to spot her visitor ahead of time, so as to better prepare herself.Ĭold rose to her cheeks. Her breath left patches of fog on the glass. Since her chair could not move any nearer, she bore the pain and leaned closer still. Nina tried to lean closer, to better glimpse the sidewalk below, but the tightness in her neck seized again. Soon the sun-what little there was of it-would abandon its dismal effort, and all along this strip of well-kept brownstones, streetlamps would glow demurely.

I expect them to be a little corrupt, slightly morally bankrupt and more than a bit filterless when expressing themselves.
