Quiz: Who Is Your Boston Celebrity Quarantine Buddy?
Find your perfect stay-at-home pal.
Stuck at home with a dwindling puzzle supply, picked-through Netflix selection, and nothing but time, our minds have started to wander to some of life’s great questions: Will this mask mark me with an unfortunate tan line? Movie theaters, remember those? How precisely can I replicate the coffee shop from Friends on Animal Crossing? And, most importantly: Which Boston celebrity would I be most fit to quarantine with?
To find which star you should be stuck with, take this quiz.

You’re having a hard time relating to people saying their appearance is deteriorating during quarantine, because personally you look just as good as ever. You and Chris would spend your days watching Disney and Marvel movies and fawning over the dog you decided to foster together before settling into social distancing. In between spotting each other while weightlifting, you’d learn a new Tik Tok dance and accidentally go viral (in the good, pre-pandemic way).
You got: Mindy Kaling

You and Mindy instantly bond over how you can’t resist a cute pajama set but you also look killer in a ballgown. Donning matching sweatsuits, you two would spend your days methodically watching every romantic comedy and discussing whether each one passes the Bechdel test over a shared bowl of popcorn. While chatting and color-coding the walk-in closet one night, you both have a brilliant idea for a new TV show and pull an all-nighter working on a pilot script. Mindy directs and you’re a head writer, and spoiler: The show is a hit success.
You got: Amy Poehler

On day one of quarantining with Amy, you’re super nervous and keep quoting Parks and Recreation in casual conversation. But guess what? She loves it, she loves your dog, Li’l Sebastian, and by day two you’re close friends. Over a few glasses of wine one night, you tell her all about your biggest problem, and she gives you the best advice of your life. You both miss your close circle of kind, hilarious friends so you decide to throw a “Galentine’s Day in July” party, which you end up live streaming through the Amy Poehler’s Smart Girls network and raising tens of thousands of dollars for charity.

You’re still mourning the extinction of Allston’s Great Scott, but quarantining with another local music legend should help assuage the loss. You and Dropkick Murphys bassist and singer Ken Casey will pass the time trading stories about your favorite bar brawl, strategizing about how to reopen his several local restaurants, and talking Boston sports. To help raise money for Ken’s charity, the Claddagh Fund, you’ll belt out Barroom Hero along with the rest of the band, fulfilling a lifelong dream of yours.

Like Big Papi, you know how to have a good time and you have a huge heart for helping others. He’ll quickly take you under his wing and teach you how to hit a home run and cook a full Dominican meal. When the weather is nice, you’ll grill up some steaks in the backyard and sip on the large store of his wine label Arias. To boost city morale, you’ll hop in the car and drive around the city, pumping Notorious B.I.G’s “Big Poppa” and calling out “this is our f*cking city!” through your facemasks, spreading Boston pride everywhere you go.
