- Theater Helpers (Line management, theater management, box office, etc)
- Filmmaker hosts (Extra spare rooms and drivers)

Of course this weeks is Amy Poehler

“Amy is taking the work of the women of early SNL — Gilda Radner, Jan Hooks — to the next natural progression of being proactively, actively feminist in her work … Those ladies had to work hard just to survive. Amy has always been conscious of being a positive influence, of the work having to be very good and of using her position of having a theater and building great TV shows to bring other young women forward.” - Tina Fey

Amy got her big break on Saturday Night Live from 2001-2010. Parks and Recreation aired in 2009 where her most infamous character was born, Leslie Knope. Since then Amy has gone on to star, write, and produce successful tv shows and films including; Baby Mama, Sisters, Wine Country, Broad City, Difficult People, Russian Doll, and many more. Amy is one of the most influential women in film and television and has gone on to win many awards for her hard work.

“I’ve had the incredible good fortune of being around supportive, interesting women who are not looking to take each other down,” she says. “And I am a very competitive person. But it’s never in response or reaction to somebody else’s successes or failures. And the few times I’ve stepped into that world, on other projects, it’s very Art of War, where I’ve laid down my shield very fast. It’s like, ‘Oh no, that’s not how I operate. I don’t work that way.’ And usually it’s very disarming because there are a lot of women who have had different experiences and rightfully don’t always trust the people they’re with.”
