It’s not cute! I don’t like it,'” continued the passage. “Amy dropped what she was doing, went black in the eyes for a second, and wheeled around on him. ‘I don’t f–king care if you like it.'” According to the “Mean Girls” writer, the incident left Fallon startled as Poehler went back to joking with Meyers, 49. “Amy made it clear that she wasn’t there to be cute,” wrote Fey. “She wasn’t there to play wives and girlfriends in the boys’ scenes.

She was there to do what she wanted to do and she did not f–king care if you like it.”The Post reached out to Poehler and Fallon for comment.
