-I just saw "Making It." I love it.
It's like a craft show. But it's like "Project Runway."
But it's like -- It's very positive, too.
-Yeah. Nick Offerman and I host it.
And it's -- it's a competition show
celebrating the process of making things.
So it's all these makers who come on
and have different strengths,
and we challenge them to make things in real time.
-It's good to see you and Nick back together.
"Parks and Rec." It's like, oh, perfect.
[ Cheers and applause ] -Yeah, my friend.
-It just feels right.
You're so funny and you're perfect together.
You have great chemistry.
But also I love that it's very you.
Because you're like, "Yeah, I don't want to be the judge.
I'm just the host of this thing."
-Yeah, I didn't want anyone to ever go home.
So halfway -- 'Cause everyone's so talented.
Halfway through, we were kind of doing a bit,
but we were seeing if maybe we could add some people.
[ Light laughter ]
-Like, as the show goes on,
just more and more people start coming on.
-I don't know about you guys, but I can't --
The world is so on fire right now
that I want to -- I don't want anyone to be humiliated on TV.
Or I don't want anyone to feel sad.
So I -- When you have these kind of shows,
you have you to let -- someone has to leave.
You know, you got to free up the hotel rooms or whatever.
-Someone has to win. Yeah. -So, someone's gotta go.
And so we were really grateful that we weren't in that process.
We just kept kind of coming in
and being like, "Good luck, guys.
I don't -- I don't know who's going to get kicked off."
But -- But it's -- Yeah.
-And then there's a fun little twist at the end
that just made me laugh, and then you guys got together.
You did, like, interstitials throughout the show,
you and Nick just talking about what's happening with the show
or what's going on.
And you do this -- these funny bits.
But one was you did a pun-off.
-Yeah, it's the lowest form of comedy.
[ Laughter ] -It made me laugh.
-Yeah, it's my favorite. -Hello. It's in my wheelhouse.
So, like, lowest form of comedy? I'm there.
[ Light laughter ] I'm all about that.
-I'll meet you at the bottom.
I'll meet you at the bottom, bro.
-So you just look at each other sitting across
in, like, little folding chairs or something
and have a pun-off.
And I just wrote some of them down, because you're like --
"Y'all 'thready' for this?" was one of them, yeah.
I'm getting -- -Did you hear a groan?
That's perfect. -Yeah, yeah.
Someone just went [Groans] -[ Groans ] Yeah.
-That's when a pun works, when someone goes [Groans]
-Oh, boy. Yeah. -That's it.
-It was -- It just went -- And you went rapid fire.
Had a little pun-off.
It's just a little part of the show, but it just made me laugh.
-I enjoy puns, as well. -I love that.
I also -- I like that you admit to not being crafty.
-No. No.
-You're like, "Dude, that's not my thing."
-No, it was really cool, because the people were really talented.
We walked around and saw what they were doing.
But I can't do any of it. And -- And I was truly learning.
But I have the same skill as my children
when it comes to making things,
which is great, 'cause we all make things together.
But I kind of represented the person
that doesn't make a lot of things,
and Nick is an incredible woodworker.
-He's a crafty dude. He makes, like, tables and --
-Yeah, and he's -- Look, he's also an actor.
And, you know, a lot of -- No offense, Jimmy, but --
[ Light laughter ]
A lot of men in this business aren't the guys you would run to
when things go wrong, necessarily.
They don't -- -What?
-Like, maybe musicians, but not, like, actors or --
No offense. -No, no, none taken, of course.
The more you keep saying, "No offense,"
the less offense I take.
-You know, like, when you wear makeup for a living and then --
You're not -- Like, Nick can build --
-I barely wear makeup! -Nick can build a boat!
-I know he can.
-So when -- when -- when the stuff goes down,
I'm running to him, 'cause he's gonna...
-Yeah, no, I can barely -- I can barely ride in a boat.
Let's be honest. [ Laughter ]
I'm lucky if I can stand up. -Can you drive stick?
-No. -Oh, my God.
-Out of your mind? Can I drive stick?
[ Laughs ] What are you talking about?
Are you out of your mind? -Can you change a tire?
Can you change a tire?
-No, I have my driver do all that stuff.
Can't be bothered with driving stick.
I watch that, I go, "You're working too hard."
-You go, "Hey, get out there!"
-I want to show everyone a clip from your show.
Here's Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman on "Making It."
Take a look at this.
-Do you think woodworkers in general --
Do you guys like talking about yourselves?
-Not so much.
I enjoy talking to other woodworkers.
There's, like, a language. -Would you like us to leave?
-Yeah, right?
-But what I'm noticing about you already, Cam, is you do a lot.
Are you gonna get it finished?
-I'm feeling pretty good about it.
-Okay, good. -Yeah.
-Okay, here's my impression of everybody
when you ask them about time.
Ask me about time.
-So, how are you feeling about your time management?
-Totally fine.
I'm making a gigantic Ferris wheel,
and I haven't started on any of it.
-There's 10 minutes left. -That's more than enough time.
-Okay, but now we're down to 9 minutes and 40 seconds.
-Cool with me. I don't even care.
-Yeah. Amy Poehler, everybody.
"Making It" premieres Tuesday, July 31st, at 10:00 p.m. on NBC.
