Aubrey Plaza and Amy Poehler Reprise Parks and Recs Characters on SNL

Fans of Parks and Recreation enjoyed a mini reunion on the latest episode of Saturday Night Live. Episode host Aubrey Plaza reprised her character April Ludgate during Weekend Update to discuss how young people can get involved in local government. After listing out several jobs requiring minimal effort (bus driver, working for a water department, dog catcher), Plaza’s Ludgate gave way to a true civil servant, “her old boss” Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler). As Knope, Poehler leaned into jokes about SNL and Weekend update — which she anchored for five seasons between 2004 and 2008. “I want to pick your brain about this job, about this show because I used to watch this when Seth Meyers did it by himself with no one else and he made it look really easy,” Poehler told current Weekend Update anchor ...

Aubrey Plaza Books a New Role on SNL’s White Lotus Spoof: Watch

The White Lotus was booked for Aubrey Plaza’s hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, but it offered an alternative resort experience at “The Black Lotus” with “all the decadence, all the intrigue, none of the foolishness.” In a send-up of the upscale, HBO destination drama, Kenan Thompson and Ego Nwodim lead “a staff who has no time for this nonsense” against familiar high-strung hotel guests like Jennifer Coolidge’s Tanya, portrayed by an indistinguishable Chloe Fineman, and the aspiring local singer, played by Heidi Gardner, whose scheme to replace the in-house talent is dashed by Kenny in the Kirk Franklin Lounge. Plaza makes her entrance as a provocative bartender who delivers some harsh but rational advice to the young, swindled stand-in for Season 2 character Albie, speaking for the aud...

Aubrey Plaza Pranked Her White Lotus Co-Stars by Putting Blair Witch Symbols in Their Dressing Rooms

Aubrey Plaza plays a normie lawyer on Season 2 of The White Lotus, but she was up to her usual tricks on the set of the HBO comedy. In a new GQ profile, Plaza owned up to pranking her White Lotus co-stars by planting Blair Witch-style symbols in their dressing rooms — and pretending it wasn’t her. Adam DiMarco was Plaza’s first victim. He came back to his dressing room in Italy and discovered the room’s reed diffusers arranged in an ominous symbol on the floor. After that, to throw her co-stars off the scent, Plaza ravaged her own room. “Who did this?” she asked Haley Lu Richardson and Meghann Fahy. Maybe it was a poltergeist, she suggested. Of course, the staff at the Four Seasons San Domenico Palace — which the cast took over for five months of shooting — knew it was ...

Aubrey Plaza Cast in WandaVision Spinoff Agatha: Coven of Chaos

Aubrey Plaza will join Kathryn Hahn in the upcoming WandaVision spinoff Agatha: Coven of Chaos, reports Variety. In the Marvel series, Hahn will reprise her career-defining role as Agatha Harkness, but details about the show are scarce. What we do know, however, is Emma Caulfield Ford will also return from WandaVision as Dottie along with head writer and executive producer Jac Schaefer. Heartstopper actor Joe Locke will also star in Coven of Chaos. We named WandaVision our best TV show of 2021 in no small part due to the performance of Hahn, who nailed a transformation from Wanda’s chipper next-door neighbor Agnes to Salem Witch Trial survivor Agatha Harkness. During the finale of WandaVision, Wanda neutralizes Agatha’s formidable powers. Advertiseme...
