Amy Poehler turned a light celebrity interview into a reminder about gun violence, the environment, and the disaster in Puerto Rico

• The Hollywood Reporter sent Amy Poehler a list of questions about comedy.
• She sent back responses highlighting global issues like the environment, the disaster in Puerto Rico, and gun violence.
• Check out the full exchange below.

For The Hollywood Reporter's list of the "40(ish)" most powerful people in comedy, the publication asked celebrities trivial questions about their lives and careers. They asked about things like guilty pleasures, dream product endorsements, and jokes they wish they'd written.

Amy Poehler — on the list for her work on the NBC sitcom "I Feel Bad" and her upcoming directorial debut with Tina Fey "Wine Country" — took the Q&A and flipped it around, as noticed on Twitter. The world, she pretty much pointed out, is going to hell.

In response to a question about Poehler's most memorable heckler she said, "Who cares? The whole world is on fire."

The rest of Poehler's Q&A goes similarly:

My most memorable heckler... "Who cares? The whole world is on fire."

Dream product endorsement "A giant whale just died in Thailand after eating 80 plastic bags."

Guilty pleasure "Let's not forget over 4,600 people have died in Puerto Rico."

I'm funny because... "I don't even know anymore."

If I didn't work in comedy... "I would never leave my house."

College comedy audiences are… "Kids that are afraid they will be shot in their own schools. What has happened to us?"

Sitcom you'd reboot? "'Mr. Rogers.' I miss him. We need him."

The funniest thing about the Trump administration is… "Are you kidding me?"
