‘The Only Person Who Can Interview Aubrey Plaza’
- Plaza may have been known for years for her breakout role in Parks and Recreation. But her star turn in The White Lotus in 2022 established herself as a generational icon.
- Now, Gen Z are doing a deep dive into Plaza and her underrated comedy genius in old interviews. And that’s led them to discover her hilarious red-carpet interviews with Michael Ausiello.
- Ausiello’s interviews with Plaza have amassed millions of views on TikTok — with viewers calling him the only interviewer who “understood the assignment” and “matched her energy.”
- In various interviews, Plaza gives Ausiello the middle finger, tells him she sold her soul to Devil, and tells him she’s mentally sick.
- And while Plaza has previously described her discomfort during talk shows, she clearly loves being interviewed by Ausiello and repeatedly seeks him out on the red carpet — even telling him she’s only talking to him.

Bad Interviewers Last week, Chloe Fineman was roasted for a “cringe” interview she had with Plaza on the Met Gala red carpet. Fineman jokingly misnamed Plaza, calling her “Audrey” instead of “Aubrey,” before she was scolded by designer Stella McCartney for not taking the interview “seriously.”
