Aubrey Plaza auditioned to be a cast member of ‘SNL’ years ago and recently opened up about the characters she created for that process
“I didn’t make it to the Lorne [Michaels] audition, the famous final audition, but I did a preliminary first-round showcase,” she said.'SNL': Aubrey Plaza & Michael B. Jordan Make Hosting Debuts On First Shows Of The Year
Plaza said that for the audition, she performed two characters that were seemingly incredibly quirky. “I remember one character I did was like a Puerto Rican news reporter that was always trying to make all of the news stories sexy, even if they were horrific news stories,” she revealed. “I was just trying to like, sex up the news or something.”
Her second character was a little more cringe, which Plaza described as a “pill-popping housewife.” That character had her “own talk show called Celebri-Tails, where I would just name celebrities and name what kind of tail they would have if they had a tail. Like I would say, ‘Lindsay Lohan would have a bushy squirrel’s tail.’ Or, like, ‘Bill Clinton would have a polar bear’s nub.
