Ahead of her upcoming hosting gig, Aubrey Plaza shared the sketches that she performed in her failed Saturday Night Live audition. 'One character I did was like a Puerto Rican news reporter that was always trying to make all of the news stories sexy...'
Aubrey Plaza opens up about her failed Saturday Night Live audition. The actress initially started her career performing improv and sketch comedy at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater - which includes Amy Poehler as one of its founding members - before her breakthrough role as April Ludgate in Parks and Recreation.
Plaza recalled a couple of characters she created for her preliminary audition, one being a Puerto Rican news reporter who was always trying to "sex up the news," and the other a "pill-popping housewife" with a show called "Celebri-Tails." The bizarre characters apparently didn't go over well since Plaza didn't move on to the final Lorne Michaels-moderated audition, though she did land a job as an intern.
