Leslie Knope

Protagonist of Parks and Recreation, Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, is a well-read and highly optimistic woman who has dedicated her life to securing greater government welfare for the residents of Pawnee, Indiana. Brilliant, hardworking and ambitious in equal measure, Knope is not a stereotypical nerd like Urkel. Her unbridled enthusiasm is a little grating at times, but you end up routing for her in the end. Poehler’s excellent acting makes Knope one of the most memorable characters on TV.
