The Fey comparison came once Poehler was asked to give a speech.
“This kid said it right before I went up.”
Poehler didn’t hesitate to give the student a piece of her mind.
“I gave him the finger, which everyone was shocked about,” she said.
The comedian did have some reservations about accosting the student so publicly, but ultimately stands by her decision.
“I was like, ‘You’re on a dais, Amy,'” she said.
“But then, f— Harvard.”
Fey concurred, “F— Harvard, f— Harvard.”
It was a real honor."
Fey agreed with her sentiment.
“Don’t lose my number forever.
Go f— yourselves.”
