Melissa Fumero has become a breakout star on Fox's "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" as by-the-books cop Amy Santiago, but that doesn't mean that she still can't be inspired by a sitcom superstar.

"I read Amy Poehler's book, 'Yes Please.' I could not put it down. I read it so fast. I loved every second of it. I've been a huge fan of hers since high school. It was intimate. It was funny, I got a lot of life advice from it. I felt better after I finished it, like, everything's going to be OK."
