Amy Poehler loves watchingBelow Deckand wants to join the franchise.
While promotingInside Out 2, Amy discussed her love of reality TV, includingBelow Deck. While talking withCosmopolitan UK,theSNLlegend admitted that she wants to become aBelow Deckcast member, specifically the captain. “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,” she sarcastically said. Amy added that she’d “fake it” for a couple of days before her inevitable firing.
Amy went into more detail about why she likes watching a show likeBelow Deckas opposed to other reality shows that focus on people’s everyday lives. As she explained, “I like the job that everybody has to do. I care about whether or not they turn the boat over. I want to watch them clean the bathrooms and stuff. That’s why I’m into.“Amy’s not a fan of reality shows like theReal Housewiveswhere there doesn’t seem to be a purpose, according to her. “Everyone sits around and there’s no job; they just go to dinner,” she added. “That gets me very stressed.”
Amy Poehler Thinks She’d Be Voted Off Survivor “Pretty Fast”
While Amy believes she would be well-suited to a show likeBelow Deck, there’s a different reality show she would likely fail at:Survivor. “I think I’d get voted off pretty fast,” she admitted. Amy explained that if she were onSurvivor, she would be talking to people “in front of their back” instead of “behind their back.” Behavior like that would not go over well withSurvivorplayers and would make her a target at Tribal Council. However,if Amy did get voted off ofSurvivor, she would “accept the tribe’s word.”
It’s unlikely that Amy will ever compete onSurvivor, but appearing onBelow Deckcould be a strong possibility–just not as the captain.Below Deckis no stranger to featuring celebritieson the various yachts. Pastcharter guests have includedAmerican Idol’s Justin Guarini,The Bachelor’s Erica Rose, musician Roy Orbison Jr., baseball player Johnny Damon, journalist Jemele Hill, andReal Housewivesstars Heather Gay, Cynthia Bailey and Jill Zarin. Clearly, Bravo cast members have a leg up when it comes to appearing onBelow Deckas the vast majority of the celebrity guests are reality stars.

While there’s no way Amy will be joiningBelow Deckas a cast member,Bravo should consider having her as a charter guest. Considering she’s already a big fan of the franchise, it’s unlikely she would turn down the opportunity. The network could also consider filming a comedic bit with her where a season ofBelow Deckkicks off with Amy at the helm of the yacht, then Captain Kerry or Sandy walks in, surprised to see her. Amy has a long-standing relationship with NBCUniversal, which producesBelow Deck, so an appearance should happen at some point in the future.
