Saturday Night Live alum Amy Poehler is talking about her upcoming series, which as of now, is being called The Untitled Amy Poeher Show. According to the comedian, the plot centers around characters involved in small-town government.

Creator of the series, Greg Daniels describes the idea behind the show, “I’m interested in doing character comedy. We’re keeping the background really plain so the humor of the actors is set off nicely.”

As for Amy, her description of her character’s ambitious personality is akin to the character description of Tracy Flick from Election, “I think in most comedies the lead character suffers from not being self-aware. Leslie is an optimist, and she’s really ambitious, she’s hoping the place she is now is not that place she is going to stay.”

Also starring in the series is former guest star on The Office Rashida Jones and Scrubs guest star Aziz Ansari.
