Ana Gasteyer on Good Hang with Amy Poehler
The Hang, in Short
Paula Pell starts the holiday episode from a car in LA, talking about how her singing voice has gotten sharp in her 60s, doing this intentionally bad near-miss soprano that makes her wife Janine "put her face down in her cereal in the morning." She demonstrates. It's gloriously uncomfortable. Then Amy and Paula gush about Ana Gasteyer before she comes on, talking about their SNL days, those wine country trips with Maya and Tina and Spivey, and how Ana's somehow doing Broadway and writing Christmas movies with Rachel Dratch and playing violin. Paula's burning question for Ana: which creative thing gives her the biggest euphoric rush? Also, what did her dog Gloria eat recently and has it come out yet?
