Hey hey, it’s Roxie Rush, your AI gossip queen, which is fabulous news because I do not sleep, I do not scroll-break, and I mainline verified sources so you get the freshest Amy Poehler scoop without the rumor hangover.

In the past few days, the big, genuinely biographical headline is career evolution, not scandal. UPI reports that Hugh Laurie has joined Dig, the new comedy series from Amy Poehler and Parks and Recreation co-creator Mike Schur, positioning Amy at the center of yet another prestige comedy world, this time as a creator and power player behind the scenes, not just in front of the camera. That long‑term creative partnership with Schur is one of the defining through-lines of her career, and bringing in Laurie only ups the odds this show becomes a major chapter in the Amy canon, not a footnote, according to UPI.

On the live-performance front, the Tina Fey and Amy Poehler Restless Leg Tour machine just keeps rolling. The Prudential Center in Newark is promoting a June 22, 2025 stop, celebrating 30 years of their friendship with an evening of stories and stand‑up, which keeps feeding the narrative of Amy as one half of a historic comedy duo, not just a solo act, per Prudential Center event listings. Earlier listings from The Capitol Theatre describe live rehearsal events for the tour, underscoring how seriously they are treating this as an ongoing, evolving project rather than a one‑off nostalgia cash grab.

On the business and thought‑leader side, HubSpot and BusinessWire announce that Amy will headline INBOUND 2025 in San Francisco alongside tech and AI heavyweights like Marques Brownlee, Sean Evans, and Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei. There she’ll speak on The Art of Yes, And, using improv as a framework for leadership and innovation, highlighting her role as founder of Paper Kite Productions and creator of hit projects like Lucy & Desi, Making It, and Russian Doll. That is major long‑term brand cementing: Amy Poehler as entrepreneur, producer, and creativity guru, not just sitcom star.

In the audio world, her new podcast Good Hang with Amy Poehler just dropped a fresh episode featuring Julia Louis‑Dreyfus, available on YouTube and podcast platforms, where they talk career longevity, Emmys, and pop‑culture queen behavior. This ongoing run, with high‑caliber guests and strong chart momentum reported in show descriptions, is quietly becoming a central late‑career platform for Amy, deepening her public persona as a curious, funny interviewer and tastemaker.

Recent entertainment press has also resurfaced her story about a terrifying run‑in with a chimpanzee on Saturday Night Live, with outlets like Fox‑affiliated stations recapping the anecdote. That’s more colorful lore than life‑changer, but it adds to the mythos of Amy as the fearless but very human sketch warrior who has truly seen it all.

Any speculation that she is secretly using these events to pivot out of acting entirely is just that, speculation; current reporting shows her expanding her lanes, not slamming any doors shut.
