Amy Poehler & Rashida Jones Take a Lie Detector Test | Vanity Fair

this is an important question do you guys have a group chat without me why would we do that yes Rashida yes we've brought you here today to take a lie detector test no problem no problem no matter what happens I don't believe in lie detector tests okay that seems convenient the way this is gonna work is that one of you will be hooked up to the lie detector while the other asked questions and then you'll switch so who wants to be in the hot seat first I'm putting you in the hot seat I'm ready I will tell you the truth no matter what I never lie to my wife have you ever done this before not for the camera my own oh that's okay how's this look great great kind of like BDSM ewwww yeah right on alright so sub Dom sorry it's just that what you're asking it's okay we're gonna start off easy okay just a test alright the parameters you ready are you ready Sam we're ready is your name Amy Poehler yes are you one of the founding members of The Upright Citizens Brigade yes are you ready to take this lie-detector test I've never been more ready alright let's get started would you say that your parenting tactics or anything like your characters in Mean Girls oh no no Rasheeda one of the things you know about me is I'd love to get in a character dive deep as I love my craft so um once I leave my characters you know I don't bring them home with me wait you opened a wine shop yeah in Park Slope yes I own a wine shop in Park Slope you don't know everything about me or she is that true that is true what yeah you didn't know that no I'm actually upset right now so cool yeah okay would you consider yourself a wine snob no I'm not a wine snob I think I know a little bit about wine but I think I would be afraid to be around people who really know how would I know enough to not say that but don't we think that wine snobs are just people who think they know more than everybody else not necessarily the people who do know yeah where's everybody yeah then I am a wine snob have you ever conducted a wine tasting at that bar yes what I mean I didn't invite you but I was afraid you're going to that's so fair that's fair you get it wine taste I know yes I've been around when I don't know if I've conducted it ok can you improvise a fake wine description right now oh yeah sure this is a white ok what I like about this is it's a very crisp and has almost like an it's very Apple forward and it is it's aggressively summer but it there's some vanilla notes there's a little bit of pineapple there's the smell of desperation which is always really great when you're drinking a white late at night yeah the finish is really smooth it's kind of like what we like to call a jazzy finish jazzy finish yeah does it have legs all of my stuff has legs that's questionable yeah would you ever do a Parks and Rec reunion 100% yes I've made say are you clear that's true ok I want it too much you know what I mean right I need to pump the brakes right did this man this man right here did he ever make you break on set oh yes break break dance break down break a dish you know what I love about Nick he looks like he could be a member of my family you guys are definitely ready yes we are probably related do you text with any of your former co-stars I do we have a texture we see each other we all see each other a lot this is an important question mm-hmm do you guys have a group chat without me why would we do that answer the question why would we have a good challenge because I raised I know for a fact that there's a post season six group chat that I'm not on well this is why I lie detectors don't work because this is the answer she's skirting the question folks you want to know the truth here's the truth there's about four Parks and Rec Tech's chains there's parks fam right there's like parks parks fam there's partisan yeah got one yes and there's another one and there was one that we don't use because you're not on it and Chris Traeger is not on it Rob Lowe is not on it but I think it's started because we were trying to surprise you oh and we kept you off of it so to answer your question yes there is a tech saying that you're not on there is but I do also think there are four other Tex chains it that I'm mostly not all your else okay mm-hmm you Oh I said you were on SNL for several reasons but it doesn't know for several seasons yes okay yeah okay is that true that's true okay um do you think that I would make a good cast member 100% you can sing you're funny you're a great actor you have the temperament of that kind of comedy emergency room 100% thank you so much very what cuts the I think you should audition for it now that's a good idea I think it's really good you should do an impression of an four person right that's the only one I have and also my character from Duncanville I could do that impression yes you said already that I'd be a good cast member which I really appreciate do you think that I would have been a better Weekend Update host than that guy this is it's real you know what I'm not really prepared to answer that question cuz I don't know right I feel like you'd both do a great job I think you both do a better job than I would no no going with what it honestly what does it say that's crazy of course you guys would have done a better job than I did you can be honest and I will accept it and also you're I think that sexual chemistry would have been better between you and I okay but I do think Seth did an okay job he's okay he's a solid C yeah did you ever do anything backstage with this woman that in any state or any country could be considered illegal I've never seen this woman before in my life Sam that's not true wow so many lies okay aside from acting writing and directing you also produce is it safe to say that you conduct a lot of your business over email that is safe to say yes have you used the phrase circled back in the last 24 hours a circle back is a great for you like it love it why um I like it because it's like I don't want to answer your question forget it have you ever passive-aggressively written as stated in my last email I read your last email or something of that ilk I really try not to be passive-aggressive these days just straight up but I try to be straight up aggressor yeah but I of course I have I've probably written things like it seems like you don't really have time to answer this question like stuff like that or like maybe I should take your silence as an indication that you're not interested in this that's great but that's a pretty passive-aggressive what about you have you done that oh definitely I'm so passive-aggressive on email I always like writing looking forward I also write a lot of checking in da checking in like the are you yeah you know putting this at the top of your oh yeah bum saying that wasn't something bumping this to the top of your business did you do that yeah but bumping this to the top of your inbox in case you haven't seen it your elby's issues we should answer emails more it seems like we have fun doing okay do you watch everything I'm in no only because you are in a lot of things and I don't think I've seen it all and I don't want to lie and I feel like there will probably be some kind of surgery coming up at some point that I'll be captured for and I'll catch up yeah I'd rather be with you during surgery anyway you know at any point in this interview did you lie and we didn't catch you the answer is did I you know if you rewind back everything we've said and you take the first word of everything that I said it was a riddle and it's gonna tell you where the sentence body is buried great go back the tapes open up the box and see what's in there okay you're not gonna like it I'm not gonna like it I do like the look it feels very like Balenciaga 2020 right it's very high fashion it's very Rick Owens is your name rashida Jones yes already already loving is your dad musical legend Quincy Jones yes he is are you nervous to take this lie-detector test yep yep count as an answer with our line you're telling the truth you went to Harvard I did do you think you're better than me because of that worse did you write for the Harvard Lampoon I did not is it because you thought the guys that wrote for the Harvard Lampoon or annoying a little bit yeah I'm sorry Rashidah we were in Parks and Rec together yes did the cast ever talk about me behind my back no no it's true she's telling the truth you know we're tight we're my improvised dance parties on set ever annoying yes still the joy of my life do you think I'm a good dancer I do oh my god but Rashida do you ever have fantasies about like being a professional dancer of a horse I mean I would never but do you think you could be one no at this point no like a middle-aged upstart no maybe had I like done some groundwork early on maybe but probably not would you go undo that you can dance no no that seems hard yet you've played characters that have been under both this character Michael Scott and Leslie no yeah who is the better boss Leslie Knope but I will say Steve Carell was also my boss as a human being and he's a better boss than Michael Scott so you're going on record to say that you like Steve Carell I do like Steve girl first person I've heard say that I know it's it's tough for him out there you were voted most likely to succeed in high school why I did not know that I was it's me and Terrell Jackson who's Tito Jackson's son and then in the picture we're like have like a lot of cash like every night I've bought a car and I'm immature they don't they your and Julie got bit wad of cash that cuz that's success right that's amazing do you hate being asked what it's like to be a woman in comedy yes is there an answer you wish you could say that you've never been able to ask me something else that's not stupid yeah that's the answer you wish I could be like that's stupid you don't mean that that's what I wish I could say you don't mean that you don't mean that that's a good one yeah that would be a good one to put in an email you didn't mean that oh my god can you just type it in really tiny letters so it sounds like you're whispering again they're like this oh my god if I called you from jail would you bail me out definitely even if you didn't know what it was yeah thanks if you were stuck in a remote desert island with either me or Chris Pratt who would you choose think about it I mean he's got a lot of pros he can cut wood he could build something he's got a good attitude he does have a good attitude and my attitude would be in that he's sound strong I mean you and I we wouldn't even we couldn't hold Nick down in like a comedy stage acting way for sheer like time value of time I would say you because we have so much to talk about we never don't have anything to talk about but if I was trying to survive probably that guy yeah you know sorry I do love you though if Pratt died there being more to eat that's true you wrote an episode of Black Mirror yes and it explores the way we rate people in social media do you seek validation on social media I try not to but yes sometimes I do have you ever posted a thirst trap um like not expressly like I think I've posted things that were like out of my comfort zone in terms of like trying to come off sexy but like not to actually entrap someone I did not know this you're in rapper Jeremiah song past dad oh yeah he calls you that's great what is the story there no I heard it when it first came out I was like oh my god don't say cool you're like guys talking about me I'm in that song if you could pick a song that was like like your anthem even for the year um you know what song I love is that collied song is from last year can't we just talk give it is such a good song it is so good and good okay and Rashida at any point during this interview did you lie I don't think so but I'm having a weird sensation we're like I'm not sure if I'm lying because I've hooked up to something that's trying to determine that's why I keep asking you if I'm lying because I just don't know I don't think so did I be real this is your moment be real did I lie you are telling the truth okay spoken like a true sociopath
