Amy Poehler: Why Julia Is a Hall Of Famer

By

Julia Louis-Dreyfus' Parks and Recreation pal Amy Poehler reveals why she thinks the Veep star deserves to be inducted into the Television Academy Hall of Fame.

"No one deserves it more than Julia. She's the funniest person in the room always," Poehler, 42, gushes over her friend. "Awards are very arbitrary, but I will say that Julia is a force who has been creating excellent content for like a really long time, and she is doing her best work yet, I think, in Veep. She crushes it constantly."
