Aubrey Plaza details the epically awkward Parks and Rec audition that launched her career.

A deep dive into Aubrey Plaza telling the epic story of how she cracked into Hollywood by landing her Parks and Rec role as April Ludgate, as well as Judd Apatow's Funny People and Edgar Wright's Scott Pilgrim vs The World in the span of a single week.

Her interviews with Conan O’Brien (Conan Needs a Friend podcast) and Sam Jones are mashed up — along with clips of April in Parks and Recreation — as she recounts the exact series events that led her from being an unemployed actress and budding comedian in Queens, NYC to flying out to LA to audition for Funny People, which then led to Parks and Rec and Scott Pilgrim. Aubrey reveals that she didn’t “understand the weight” of that initial audition, which ultimately launched her successful career in TV and movies. Plus, bonus clips of some of April Ludgate’s best and funniest moments on the show.
