The Great Robert De Niro Pulls Up for a Good Hang
The Great Robert De Niro stops by and visits to talk everything on Good Hang with Amy Poehler. And really, De Niro sitting across from Amy Poehler already does most of the work for us.
At this point, De Niro has lived several movie lives at once — the Scorsese years, the comedies, the family films, the producer chapter, the Tribeca chapter — and he is still very much moving through all of them. That makes a loose conversational show like Good Hang especially interesting: less podium, less career-retrospective ceremony, more room for the person underneath all that film history to simply talk.

The timing is fitting too. De Niro has been back in the spotlight around the 25-year legacy of the Tribeca Festival, the institution he co-founded with Jane Rosenthal and Craig Hatkoff after 9/11 to help revive Lower Manhattan. A quarter-century later, Tribeca has become inseparable from his life outside acting — part cinema institution, part New York love letter, part proof that De Niro’s relationship with the city has always gone well beyond the screen.
He also remains one of those performers whose résumé is almost too large to summarize without sounding ridiculous: Taxi Driver, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, Cape Fear, Heat, Casino, Meet the Parents, The Irishman — and somehow that list still feels like we left half the room out.
That is why the appeal here is not simply “Robert De Niro gives another interview.” Poehler’s whole Good Hang setup works best when the résumé gets pushed to the side long enough for a guest to loosen up. With De Niro, even a quiet aside can carry decades of movie history behind it.
So yes: The Great Robert De Niro talks everything on Good Hang with Amy Poehler. Sometimes the pairing really is the pitch.
