The general take
Rachel Sennott found value in Amy Poehler's book, particularly early in her own comedy career, comparing it to how she'd also read Tina Fey's book when starting out in standup. She appreciated how the book captured a formative moment in comedy history with Poehler and her generation of women entering the field.

…Rachel discussing reading Amy Poehler's book as comedy inspiration during college
“I read your book. I read Tina's book when I was like in college and starting standup. And like, I feel like, especially when I think to like the beginning, when, when you're like the first, not the first women in comedy, but like you're forming a group.”
