It’s one thing to be given your own show on CNN Headline News, and become successful enough that you don’t “need” an hour to talk about yourself on Court TV. But it’s another thing entirely to find yourself on Saturday Night Live, being parodied par excellence by one of the show’s remaining talents.

Atoosa Rubenstein got the treatment. And so has Nancy Grace, with Amy Poehler delivering those “mmm-kays” and “missing white girls” like the real thing. So how does the Nance feel about it? Mediabistro asks:

What do you think of Amy Poehler’s impersonations of you on Saturday Night Live? Have you ever spoken to her?
I haven’t spoken to her, but I was totally flattered. It was a big day in my life when I made it into their Prince segment. I actually scared Prince. I’m a huge Prince fan so that was a big moment for me.

You’ve also been parodied on the soap Passions with a character named Grace Nancier and someone else played a character based on you on Boston Legal. What gives?
I understand I got hit in the head with a shovel (on Boston Legal) but then I appeared on TV with a huge bandage on my head — like a vampire. I’m flattered.

Keep in mind, Nancy appears alongside Star Jones in the May 22 finale of Law & Order: SVU, so there’s still plenty of opportunities for other rusty toolshed delights to be levied her way. Not that we encourage that sort of thing.
