Amy Poehler wants to be a ‘Below Deck’ captain but can’t drive a boat

Amy Poehler? We only know Captain Poehler. 

The Inside Out 2 star confessed that she’d love to become the next great Below Deck captain — though she admitted that her lack of nautical training may end up sinking her new career before it begins.

“I would want to be the Captain on Below Deck,” she said during a recent Cosmopolitan U.K. video interview. “It would be hard for me to not be the Captain, but, again, I do not know how to drive a boat, so I feel like that would get in the way.”

The actress-comedian added, “You wouldn’t know at first. I’d fake it for a couple of days, I think, but then I’d get fired.”

Poehler said she didn’t think she’d last very long on a traditional reality competition series like Survivor, either. “I would definitely, probably, get out pretty early because I wouldn’t be so great at… I tend to kind of tell people in front of their back things rather than behind their back,” she joked. “So I think I’d get voted off pretty fast.”

Still, she maintained, “I would leave with my head high. I don’t think I would leave in disgrace — I hope not! The tribe will have spoken, and I will accept the tribe’s word if they want to kick me out.”

Below Deck, which began in 2013, follows the choppy waters of a captain and crew members as they live and work on a superyacht during the charter season. It has spawned several successful spinoffs over the course of its past 11 seasons, including Below Deck Mediterranean, Below Deck Down Under, and Below Deck Adventure. 

The SNL alum explained that Below Deck is one of the few reality shows she’ll actually sit down and watch. “The reason why I like it is ’cause I like the job that everybody has to do,” she said. “Like, I care about whether or not they turn the boat over. I want to watch them clean the bathrooms and stuff. That’s what I’m into.”

Poehler added, “I don’t get it with reality shows where everyone sits around and there’s no job, they just go to dinner. That gets me very stressed.”
