Amy Poehler welcomed Robert De Niro to her podcast "Good Hang" this week, immediately prompting him to speak more extensively than he usually does in interviews. Before the interview commenced, Poehler acknowledged De Niro's reluctance to engage in interviews and thanked him for accepting the invitation. She playfully expressed concern that he might not realize the nature of the long-form conversation, but De Niro reassured her that he was aware.

Poehler then made a gentle request, asking him to talk "a little more" during the interview. In good humor, De Niro replied, "Just a little bit more. I get paid by the word," to which Poehler joked that meeting her word count was crucial for her. The interview proceeded, with Poehler highlighting De Niro's self-identification as an introvert, to which he responded with a brief answer, stating "in some ways."

Poehler then challenged him, stating that he needed to deliver "at least ten more words, every sentence." Despite her playful insistence, De Niro handled the banter with ease, laughing along with Poehler. The actor jokingly admitted he needed a moment to formulate a more elaborate response but promptly obliged. The complete interview featuring Robert De Niro's appearance on "Good Hang with Amy Poehler" is available in the video above.
