Watch Amy Poehler and Billy Eichner scare strangers by revealing she's not Pitbull
YouTube
Comedian Billy Eichner's address book is apparently brimming with celebrities willing to harass strangers on the streets of New York with him. Today's guest is his Parks and Recreation costar Amy Poehler. The game of guerilla street harassment is pretty simple: Poehler dons a Pitbull (the rapper, not a dog) mask and "surprises" people by revealing her true identity. Perhaps unsurprisingly, most people prefer Poehler to Pitbull. -- Jordan Valinsky
