FOX NEWS - Amy Poehler became incredibly emotional reflecting on her wildly popular role as Leslie Knope in the hit NBC comedy series “Parks and Recreation.”
In a sold-out Dolby Theater in Hollywood, Calif. on Thursday night, Poehler, flanked by her “Parks and Rec” co-stars, couldn’t help but fight back tears as comedian, actor and writer Patton Oswalt moderated his second “Parks and Rec” panel session at the PaleyFest for the 10th anniversary reunion of the iconic comedy.
“I’m just really overwhelmed,” Poehler, 47, trying her best to keep her cool, lamented to an eruption of applause from audience members.
When each cast member was asked by Oswalt what they had taken away from their “Parks” lives and implemented into their personal lives, the former “Saturday Night Live” mainstay told an inspiring tale about the impact her kind-hearted character Leslie Knope has had on viewers all over the world.
