Here's what we learned from Amy Poehler’s visit to Trinity

Happy Amy Day, everybody.

TODAY, AMY POEHLER visited Trinity College and was honoured with the Gold Medal of Honorary Patronage.

People who were lucky enough to snag a ticket to the event were treated to singalongs and Huberman sightings.

Those of us who weren’t had to follow the whole thing on Twitter.

Here’s what we learned…

1. This was the queue to see her

2. Despite being a certified queen of comedy, she did not arrive in a horse-drawn carriage…

Instead, she arrived in a car like a regular human being and was greeted by throngs of loving fans.

3. She looked a little startled at all the attention

6. This was how small the room was

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

7. As for the talk itself? Well, she was raging that she missed #YokeTuesday

8. She led the crowd in a sing-along of Nothing Compares 2 U

SHE JUST LEAD A GROUP SING ALONG TO 'NOTHING COMPARES 2 U'. We all joined in. I'm so thrilled.

9. She discussed her rationale behind creating Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls, an online community for girls

"I have a suspicious relationship with the Internet. It's so unforgiving. @smrtgrls was an attempt to offer something different" #amypoehler

10. If the whole comedy thing doesn’t work out for her, she has a career in motivational speaking

'Leading is about cutting people who complain rather than do from your team. Just pick something, do it, screw it up or make it work'

11. She answered questions about comedy being a ‘boy’s club’ like a boss

Comedy being a men's club - "I want to see more writers who are women, black, gay, transgender " Amy Poehler is great

12. Those who didn’t get to go are considering watching The Late Late Show in case she shows up on it, by some miracle

Is Amy Poehler gonna be on the Late Late tonight??

Whoops!

We couldn't find this Tweet

(Afraid we just got the press release from the Late Late’s producers. She’s not on the list of guests – as yet, anyway.)
