USA Today ranked Amy Poehler #14 in its 100 People of 2009 list! Candidates were selected “based on their compelling, positive and thought-provoking contributions to pop culture in 2009.”
From USA Today:
Parks and Recreation has to be one of the year’s most impressive turn-arounds, and that’s in large part to Poehler’s portrayal of Leslie Knope, a small-town feminist with larger-than-life aspirations. This year she also devoted time to her Nickelodeon series (The Mighty B!) and dropped by the Weekend Update desk for old times’ sake. Though she’s sorely missed on SNL, we love where she went.
