Bad Quote by Jason Nash
“L.A. gets a bad rap, but that's not the case. Everybody's like a real family out here. I think a lot of that comes from UCB Theatre, Amy Poehler, Matt Walsh, Matt Besser, and Ian Roberts. They're really funny, but they're also upstanding people.”

I can't remember what it…” quote by Tina Fey](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/8fd/tina-fey-484_writing_amy-poehler-was-new-to-snl-and-we-were-a_196708.jpg)
