Say More with Dr? Sheila

Amy Poehler

“In the world of feelings, there are winners and losers, and somebody has to be the judge.” In her new comedy podcast, Say More with Dr? Sheila (from Audacy and Paper Kite Productions), Amy Poehler plays a fictional couples therapist who helps her patients navigate a host of common (and uncommon) relationship issues. The patients are played by several of Poehler’s former Saturday Night Live castmates, including Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Chris Parnell, and Ana Gasteyer. In these 10 completely improvised episodes, Poehler delivers the perfect parody of the therapy-podcast genre. Beginning with Dr? Sheila’s introductory song and moving through her, shall we say, unconventional exercises, the show is laugh-out-loud funny. Even the professionals can’t always keep laughter at bay. —Paulina Prosnitz
