It's conversations like this that remind you there are tons of talented people out there, but luck and especially timing plays a huge factor for many of the actors who "make it". I think Plaza is a unique comedic presence, and I'm glad the doors opened for her.

When she (barely extremely briefly) mentioned Upright Citizens Brigade I thought she was gonna say how she ACTUALLY got the audition. Amy Poehler is a core founder of the UCB comedy troupe. Aziz Ansari and Aubrey Plaza were attending her UCB school. So when Aubrey said the meeting came out of nowhere... Well, yeah, Amy told them to call you. I remember at least 3 other UCB people on Parks and Rec, UCB co-founder Matt Besser, as well Nick Kroll and Ian Roberts

You say it's pure luck, but as she stated at the end, she landed three big gigs in one week. That isn't luck. If anything that's proof of talent and skill.

April is one of the funniest characters on TV. She's a little bit evil, but in a fun way, who loves to mess with people for her entertainment. Her behavior was side splittingly funny. Aubrey was the perfect actress to pull it off. How she kept a straight face during interviews is beyond me. They were considering hiring her. She almost told them to "Get lost dude" ... Perfect, your hired!!! 🤣

​@@RSMoreno ​​She's also talked at length in other interviews (BFI, Hot Ones, Off Camera Show, etc.) about how the "talk show" format doesn't really work for her. Apparently talk shows are really planned out, and she gets uncomfortable pretending she's having the artificial conversation naturally for the first time, especially since her background is in improv. She always seems more comfortable when it's a more organic conversation, like this podcast. Her interviews with Conan are the best, though, and she's said he's her favourite host too.

I love it when tv shows just make the actors look at the camera instead of having canned laughter. amazing for sure.

Love how much Conan is riffing and doing bits on Aubrey's story and then when she says "you know how weird Greg Daniels is", he just has a short and deadly serious "yes I do."

I think it's the studio audience talk show environment that brings that out of her. She's sasid that it's just so forced and weird of a conversation combined with being sort of a press junket for a movie/tv. I don't blame her. As an actor you have to do it but that doesn't make it any less inauthentic of an interaction between two people.

Listening to this before watching had a completely different vibe. When I heard it, it sounded like Aubrey didn't want to be there, like she was just over interviews. Her tone was so different. Watching her, it does seem as though she left the entertainer side of her and is having a person-to-person conversation. The visual component changes so much. Aubrey, it's been surreal and a delight to see a different side. Conan, love the podcast, and hope we can see you on our screens again.

Love Aubrey! I love that she pitched the actual character….amazing.

This is honestly the most normal I've ever seen her

Stumbled on this video. Reminded me of two things: 1. Yeah I like Aubrey Plaza, when and why did I stop watching her content in the first place? and, 2. Conan really brings the best out of her. S-tier host, really top of the line. Nice short clip!

Aubery is as funny as a stand up comedian. Her timing and delivery I'd spot on. Watch some of her earlier interviews with conan of late night it's comedy gold.

*Aubrey is amazing. Every single thing she does is awesome.*

And THIS is why we all love her. Go get it girl!

Aubrey seems like a totally new person. She seems to have more confidence and she speaks faster. I like it.

wow she’s suuuper different than in her conan interviews from tv

She’s awesome! Love her personality and humor

Funny people is an underrated comedy gem that needed to be about 30 minutes shorter than it was. Scott Pilgrim is a love letter to my generation. And parks and rec is one of the funniest shows I have ever seen. The late 2000's were a comedy goldmine, and we will never get that back.

The fact that Aubrey Plaza pitched the idea of April Ludgate to the showrunner and then had to audition to literally play herself just makes the subtle comedy of Parks and Recreation all the more hilarious.

I ALMOST screamed like a little girl when I saw her name on the last episode.
