Ex-NBC Page Aubrey Plaza Shares Her Elevator Run-In with Katie Couric (VIDEO)

by Aimee Deeken, posted Aug 10th 2010 8:04AM

'Tonight Show': Aubrey Plaza Assisted Katie Couric as NBC PageTurns out that Aubrey Plaza from 'Parks and Recreation' was an NBC Page during the days when Katie Couric was a network mainstay on 'Today.'

Plaza was "asked to leave" her position after a mere four months because "I would just lie a lot," she said on 'The Tonight Show' (weeknights, 11:35PM ET on NBC). Honestly, it was hard for us to tell if she was joking. Couric had the same problem when they had a run-in.

No, nothing bad happened -- in fact, it was Plaza who assisted Couric when the anchor made a "rookie mistake" in the elevator. Given the way she joked with Couric, it appears Plaza was already cultivating that trademark deadpan -- so straight-faced that she had her fooled.

As Mr Spock would say, fascinating.

Funny Funny video! reminded me of Lisa Kudrow and her cat song on Friends. Aubrey's like a new generation Saturday night Live character.

A friend who dated a Katie Couric relative confided in me that the worst times were at family gatherings attended by Katie whose personality is much harsher than her onscreen persona...

Couric has no journalistic credibility.

I watch no shows on NBC, but I've seen her on other talk shows and she's so cute and absolutely hilarious! I will watch the shows when they reach syndication!

Couric thinks she is the cutie doll of America when she is really a liberal airhead. She thinks just because she got Plaza fired, she won. Unfortunately for her, she was the butt of the joke and America is laughing at her.

What a cute, cute, cute guest spot. I haven't watched Parks & Rec, and have no idea who Aubrey Plaza was prior to this clip... but if this is a good representation of Aubrey Plaza's style, very clever and cute!
