Amy Poehler touted her game of “shouting charades” with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday as a “Tonight Show” first. “I think that’s exciting,” the “Wine Country” director and star said. Poehler and Fallon, both “Saturday Night Live” alums, placed their arms in rigid sleeves to keep them from gesturing. They had to describe movements verbally instead of acting out the clues as they would in a game of regular charades. They shouted at times, as the title of the game would demand, but Poehler won hearts with a roar to describe a certain Disney franchise. Watch the game above.<doc-sep>Jimmy Fallon has put a brand new twist on the classic game “Charades” and he had “Wine Country” star Amy Poehler test it out with him.

The latest? A new twist on Charades called Shouting Charades. The Saturday Night Live vets sat in chairs opposite each other with their arms tucked inside velvet sleeves so they couldn’t gesticulate. They then had to play Charades, but instead of acting out the word or phrase, they had to describe how they would act it out. Oh, and they also had to shout everything to each other. Although, that part of the game ended very quickly. So, for Dirty Dancing, Poehler’s first challenge, the Wine Country star said things like, “I’m standing up and I’m holding two fingers” (noting two words) and “I’m making an action like I’m doing something with film” (it’s a movie). Get it? Now watch.

I want good things for her! I’m invested in her personal well-being! So when she echoes something I believe, it makes me feel like we’re on the same page. (Celebrity is a strange thing.) The latest thing that me and my close, personal not-friend Amy Poehler agree on? Wine tasting should be fun, and not some kind of test. Advertisement That’s the underlying theme of a section of this interview with Jimmy Fallon, who Poehler visited at The Tonight Show to promote Wine Country, the new Netflix film which marks her film directing debut (she’s also one of its stars, and is co-credited on the story). In it, a group of friends head to, you guessed it, wine country for the 50th birthday of Rachel Dratch’s character; in the segment, Poehler reveals one big thing she learned about wine tasting: “If you describe wine confidently, it doesn’t matter if you don’t know anything.” Skip to 3:32 for the relevant bits, assuming you want to skip anything Amy Poehler says, but why would you? She is wonderful. Poehler’s suggested remarks include things like “Oh, she has an interesting story,” and “This one’s shy,” both of which make no sense and thus would be perfectly appropriate as a way to describe wine (though in the case of the latter, maybe not a robust wine? But also who cares.) There’s also “This one tastes like recent history,” which would in theory be bad at the moment. The point is, just say stuff! It could work! They also share a clip, which sort of underlines the point my close personal friend Amy Poehler may or may not be deliberately making, but which I’d like to draw out. In it, Poehler’s character and Dratch’s character are tasting wine, and the person conducting their tasting is asking them to list the notes they’re getting on the nose. “There are no wrong answers,” he says, before shooting down everything Dratch says. Folks, in my days as a fancy booze shopgirl, I have seen a lot of tastings. The best ones are always congenial, conversational, and fun. The winemakers, representatives, or sommeliers explain a lot about the wine, but they also want to hear what the person doing the tasting thinks—and they never say, “No, there’s no peaches.” They’d say, “That’s interesting, I get more citrus fruit but there’s definitely a juiciness to it” or something like that. The point is not to shit all over the people who are there to taste, enjoy, and maybe learn. And if what you smell is “grapes,” you are correct, there are grapes in there. As far as I’m concerned, there actually are no wrong answers, because it’s all experiential. (What really is the color blue, anyway?) If you’re doing a wine tasting and you feel like the person conducting the tasting is quizzing you, GTFO. Life is too short to be low-key bullied about rosé. You like what you like, you taste what you taste, and if all else fails, you can always say the wine tastes like recent history. No one can really say otherwise. Glad we could come together on this issue, Amy!<doc-sep>
Amy Poehler stopped by pal Jimmy Fallon's show to promote Wine Country, streaming on Netflix May 10 WATCH: Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon Barely Keep It Together While Playing Shouting Charades Amy Poehler and Jimmy Fallon are up to their old ways with another hilarious game on The Tonight Show. Poehler, 47, appeared on her former Saturday Night Live costar’s show to promote her upcoming Netflix movie Wine Country, which also features several of their SNL costars. And while Fallon, 44, had her as his guest, the two played a hilarious version of charades that involved a lot of screaming and no actual charades. Strapped into chairs facing each other, the two comedians had to describe the moves they would be doing to get the other person to guess the movie titles. First up was Poehler, who had to get Fallon to guess the movie Dirty Dancing. “I’m holding up two fingers [which Fallon guessed as the second word] and then I’m moving around really fast like I’m really grooving to the music,” Poehler yelled, with Fallon correctly guessing the movie. Watch the two hilarious take turns describing more movies below. Poehler stars in Wine Country with fellow SNL ladies Maya Rudolph, Rachel Dratch, Tina Fey, Ana Gasteyer and writers Paula Pell and Emily Spivey. “Wine Country is a comedy about long time friends going on a trip to celebrate a 50th birthday,” Poehler recently told PEOPLE. “It is loosely based on a real trip that myself and the cast took, and it’s an attempt to show what deep and lasting female friendships look like. “ “In many ways the film is a long conversation between funny women who don’t mind making emotional deep dives,” Poehler continued. “They discover they aren’t connecting the way they used to because they aren’t keeping their relationships. It’s a love story to all the women in my life who hold me up, and it’s told by the funniest and deepest women I know.”
