Amy Poehler Admits she Went on a Date with John Stamos

Amy Poehler got married in 2003 and she’s recently divorced from her funnyman husband Will Arnett, and she’s back in the dating game for the first time in a decade. She might have a new boyfriend and she might be pretty happy at the moment, but she just opened up about how weird it is to date after such a long time, and she even opened up about a potential date she went on with one of Hollywood’s most eligible (and handsome) bachelors.

“I remember I was at dinner with John Stamos…handsome men are really something else…We were having dinner and I was like, ‘Oh, maybe this is a date!’ But I didn’t know. But I kind of blew it…I remember thinking like, ‘Oh, (expletive). Like if this is really a date….’ I think I was wearing a Leslie Knope top. I think I was wearing a shirt from work,” says the Parks and Recreation star of her disastrous maybe-potentially-she’s-not-really-sure date with John Stamos.

She goes on to say that dating is something she only tends to do with people she knows, and she’s dating someone now she’s known for a really long time. “I’ve usually dated people that I have been friends with, and I’m dating someone now. I have a boyfriend whom I’ve known for a very long time before we started dating. It’s great to not live with somebody. I don’t know if I ever want to live with somebody else again,” she said of her new boyfriend, Nick Kroll. He and her ex-husband do know one another, which is good considering the couple share two children from their marriage. Archie is 6 and Abel is 4. Since she was talking to Howard Stern, the conversation took a different turn at that point, so far that she had to apologize to her dad, who was listening to the show at the time.
