Dakota Johnson on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

with DJ Dakota Johnson

The Hang, in Short

Blake Lee's Parks and Rec fame peaked when a stranger recognized him at a urinal and tried to chat about the show mid-pee. Amy and Blake can't get over how weird bathroom recognition etiquette is. He explains how Aubrey Plaza brought him to a dance party during Parks' first season, where he met Amy while helping bandage Aubrey's bloody foot in a club bathroom. Two weeks later, Aubrey got him cast as April's boyfriend Derek in the show's throuple storyline. His actual job: prepping Amy to interview Dakota Johnson, who's doing her first podcast ever. Blake's mission? Convince Amy that Dakota isn't nearly as serious as people think. She's goofy, obsessed with SNL, and totally silly with friends. Dakota shows up with her new rescue puppy Tokyo, who immediately starts performing for the microphone.
