Aubrey Plaza is flexing her impression skills in a new SNL promo. Watch it here ahead of her episode this weekend:
The White Lotus Season 2 star Aubrey Plaza is making her Saturday Night Live hosting debut this weekend and her preparations for hosting duties have been, well, intense to say the least. Now SNL has released a new promo for her turn as host, and it looks like her work is going to be pretty hard-hitting. In the promo, Plaza can be seen rehearsing with SNL cast member Chloe Fineman.
“Chloe, you’re not the only one who can do impressions,” Plaza says. She then goes on to do her own, pretty scary take on impressions. She starts with an unnerving rendition of Marcia Gay Harden’s role as Lee Krasner in the 2000’s biopic Pollock. Fineman is justifiably put off by the monologue and notes that it is "intense."
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY But Plaza is not deterred by the critique, going on to slap herself repeatedly in a pretty on-the-nose impersonation of Annette Bening in American Beauty. Fineman ends the scene by grabbing the SNL host's hand in an attempt to end the self-flagellation. Fineman asks why she went with such an intense scene to recreate. "Because I’m insane, and I’ve been waiting to do this show since I was 12 years old," Plaza says.
Plaza's episode will air this Saturday, January 21, 2023, at 11:30 PM on NBC. The show will also stream live on Peacock. Next week, Michael B. Jordan will host, and Lil Baby will serve as the musical guest. You will have to tune in this Saturday to see if Plaza's preparations have been worth it. Until then, however, you can check out Plaza's new promo below.
