Amy Poehler Tells Embarrassing Stories from Her First Job
Amy Poehler holds her son Abel sideways while leaving a birthday party on Sunday afternoon (October 13) in Beverly Hills, Calif.
The 42-year-old actress recently opened up to The New Yorker about the first job she ever had, which was at an ice cream parlor.
“There was a performance element to the job that I found appealing, to begin with. Every time a customer was celebrating a birthday, an employee had to bang a drum that hung from the ceiling, and play the kazoo, and encourage the entire restaurant to join him or her in a sing-along,” Amy said. “Other employees would ring cowbells and blow noisemakers. I would stand on a chair and loudly announce, ‘Ladies and gentlemen, we are so happy to have you at Chadwick’s today, but we are especially happy to have Kevin! Because it’s Kevin’s birthday today! So, at the sound of the drum, please join me in singing Kevin a very happy birthday!’”
