Appearing on "The Tonight Show" to speak about her new show, "Parks & Recreation," Amy Poehler revealed to Jay Leno the joys of being pregnant.

"It’s really fun being pregnant because people are really nice to you," said the funny lady. "They get excited to see you. They want to pat your belly and call you ‘Big Mamma’ and all that fun stuff."

With her actor husband, Will Arnett, Poehler welcomed son Archie on October 25, 2008. On Tuesday night, she candidly admitted the downside of what happens after giving birth. "Once you have a kid, no one wants to be around you," she said.
