The podcast, which first launched in March of this year, has been applauded time and time again by fans for Amy's easygoing but inquisitive interview style. In a time when so many celebrity interviews feel like a vehicle for clickbait-y headlines and juicy, gossipy clips for socials, it's a refreshing change of pace that earnestly feels like listening to a conversation between friends over drinks, celebrity-status aside. And this week's episode was, of course, no exception.

Tina Fey's still got it. And by "it," we mean the SNL makeup department. This was uncanny. Fey stopped by Amy Poehler's ep of Saturday Night Live during the cold open to unveil another eerily accurate GOP political impression. This time, she was portraying DHS Director Kristi Noem. The sketch started with host Poehler playing an uncooperative Attorney General Pam Bondi appearing before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Amy Poehler may be the most-liked woman in Hollywood. Her latest project, the mega-popular podcast "Good Hang with Amy Poehler," certainly encourages that impression. It's perhaps her biggest platform since the hit series "Parks and Recreation," in which she played the idealistic bureaucrat Leslie Knope, went off the air a decade ago. And while many of her former co-stars have branched out into new territory- Aziz Ansari by reinventing himself as a melancholy romantic in "Master of None,"

Amy Poehler welcomed her good friend and fellow Saturday Night Live alum Kristen Wiig to her Good Hang podcast, and somehow the conversation turned to a scenario in which Wiig joins Metallica and makes them a "quieter" band. At one point during the episode, Poehler brought up Wiig's singing talent, and asked her if she was ever interested in pursuing music professionally. "I would love to do an album, a record," responded Wiig, "but I don't even know how to get started." She then turned straight into the camera, and added, "Can you weigh in on the comments on this? ... How do you get into the music business?"

"You were perfect. You got your line, and my character, Leslie Knope, is supposed to be overwhelmed by seeing you, and I, Amy Poehler, was also very jazzed. And I went to say my line and I drooled."
