Aubrey Plaza reunites with Parks And Recreation co-star Amy Poehler during SNL ... trends now

Aubrey Plaza celebrated her Saturday Night Live hosting debut by reuniting with her Parks And Recreation co-star Amy Poehler.

Amy, 51, achieved national fame as a cast member on Saturday Night Live before leading the cast of Parks And Recreation, which made Aubrey, 38, a star.

This weekend Aubrey amassed a dazzling array of top-flight guest stars, including Sharon Stone, the Property Brothers, Tony Hawk and U.S. President Joe Biden.

Biden's cameo came during Aubrey's opening monologue after she joked: 'I was actually voted the most famous person from Delaware. I beat Joe Biden, in fact. That’s a fact, and he was pissed! He was livid! Look at this video he sent me!'

The president appeared in a pre-recorded clip saying: 'Aubrey, you’re the most famous person out of Delaware and there’s no question about that. We’re just grateful you made it out of White Lotus alive.'

During her monologue Aubrey also reminded the audience that in her early career, before she was famous, she was an NBC page.

One of the tasks of a page was to lead tours around 30 Rock - and so in honor of her return to the building, she led the cameras on just such a tour.

She even got back into her page uniform with the help of a couple of current pages, whom she taunted with the possibility that they too could be in her position one day.

'Right here, we have the SNL page desk,' said Aubrey. 'Now, this is one of the most important jobs of the show, which is why I was never put here. I was what they called a “bad page” with “terrible phone etiquette,” which was not true by the way.'

The phone rang and she answered: 'Um, hello, Studio 8H?' before hearing who was calling and switching to a comically exaggerated Cockney accent. 

'Ho, you want to talk to Lorne Michaels, do you? Lorne Michaels ain’t here, is he? So toodle-oo back to you, innit? Yeah!' she said, hanging up.

Reverting back to her real American accent, Aubrey deadpanned: 'That was Sir Paul McCartney,' and instructed a page: 'And that’s how you do it!'

She confided: 'Oh, here’s a little studio secret. So there used to be this storage closet and when I was too hungover to finish a tour I’d be like: "Just wait in here and you can meet Kristin Wiig," and then I’d go puke in the bathroom and go home.'

Coming upon a cupboard, she said: 'Oh, look, here it is!' only to open it and find skeletons inside. 'Oh, well, I guess Kristin never showed up. That’s on her.'

As she made her way through the set, she ran into longtime Saturday Night Live cast member Kenan Thomspon, who said he was 'still waiting on my Starbucks order.'

'Okay, Kenan, well it’s Aubrey and I’m hosting now, I am not a page anymore,' said she, to which he replied: 'I know, I ordered it in 2004.'

'Next up on the tour is the set design department where I used to work,' said Aubrey. 'So, on every tour people would ask the same question: "Are we gonna see a celebrity?" No, you’re gonna see an old security guy eating a sandwich or a writing crying because their sketch got cut. Famous people don’t just walk - '

She found herself proven instantly wrong when she ran into Amy, one of the most celebrated cast members in Saturday Night Live history.

'So, Aubrey, I see that you’re wearing your page jacket,,' said Amy after effusively greeting her old co-star. 'Are you drinking again?'

'I am, and I was just going to the set design office to see those old perverts,' said Aubrey, prompting Amy to admonish her that 'it's not nice to call people old!' 

Coming upon a phalanx of set department workers, Aubrey got them to bow to 'your queen' and groaned: 'Ugh, that feels so good!' 

The men then pulled apart the wall behind Aubrey to reveal the Saturday Night Live hosting stage, ready for her to step onto it.

She gushed that the set department workers 'work miracles, and the biggest miracle of all is that they let me back in the building! Oh my God! I am so happy to be here. I really did work here and I dreamed my entire life of standing on this stage and saying we’ve got a great show for you tonight!'  

Aubrey then gave way to the first sketch, a Miss Universe pageant hosted by a somewhat bewildered compere played by Kenan.

When he asked the women to introduce themselves by country, they all either shrieked or roared the names of the places they were representing.

Molly Kearney for example roared: 'Denmark!' while Heidi Gardner chirped: 'Belgique!' and Aubrey madly shrieked: 'FRANCE!'

Kenan interviewed the contestants about their favorite food, eliciting replies like 'Uber Eats!' from Miss Barbados (Punkie Johnson) and 'FROG!' from Miss France.

When a concerned Kenan inquired of Miss France if she was 'okay,' the only answer he got was a faintly unhinged stare complete with a twitching eye. 

He then asked  where they see themselves in five years, to which Denmark deadpanned: 'Dead,' eventually specifying: 'Skydiving accident, sir!'

Although he attempted to introduce the talent portion, he got the beauty queens only to name their skills instead of actually performing them.

'Are your brains broken?' Kenan marveled. 'I mean I heard you girls backstage having the most thoughtful conversations, where did that go?'

Miss France teetered dangerously toward him and released an incoherent howl into his microphone, responding to his questions only with: 'FROG!'

After some failed attempts to get to know the contestants - met only with wild screams - Kenan eventually deferred to the judges.

It emerged that the judges were none other than the Property Brothers - twins Jonathan and Drew Scott - and skating legend Tony Hawk.

While the Property Brothers as a unit voted for Miss France to win, Tony held up a sign with his own name and squealed: 'TONY HAWK!' just like the beauty queens.

Kenan incredulously announced Miss France the winner and asked if she has anything to say, getting her querulous reply: 'Don’t take the vaccine!'

The next sketch was a rollicking parody of season two of The White Lotus - the show that propelled Aubrey back into the spotlight last year. 

Aubrey, having been on the actual series, did not appear in the parody, which was an ad for a race-swapped version called The Black Lotus.

'All the decadence, all the intrigue, none of the foolishness,' teased the intertitles, introducing: 'Guests that have everything and a staff that’s had enough.'

Chloe Fineman delivered an uncanny impression of Jennifer Coolidge's performance as the loopy heiress Tanya tottering into a sumptuous resort.

'It’s just, Oh, gosh, I forgot my credit card!' she told the concierge. 'I must’ve left it in the limousine! Is that okay? Can you trust me?'

The no-nonsense concierge played by Kenan Thompson refused to trust her and orders her to come back whenever she recovers her method of payment.

Another scene in the parody took aim at a scene on The White Lotus where Michael Imperioli's character asks the manager to give two prostitutes the key to his room.

Ego Nwodim, playing the manager in the sketch, called out to a subordinate: 'Hey, William! Give these whores a spare key to the room!'

Indicating her guest without a hint of discretion, she said: 'See this man right here? He didn’t come with nobody so he wants these hoes to come and go as they please.'

Over the guest's pleas that she try to protect his privacy, Ego's character announced: 'Everybody, treat these hoes like they’re regular people!'

Punkie played a server who approached a guest and asked: 'Will your friend be joining us or is he still upstairs f***ing your wife?'

In a scenario fans of the show will recognize, a giggling young American woman sidled up to the concierge desk with an Englishman she has just met.

The staff agreed to give them transportation for a trip they are taking together - but after the guests left, Ego told Kenan: 'He gonna kill her.'

Another white guest tried to commiserate with a Latina bartender played by Aubrey about the fact that he got hustled by one of the prostitutes.

''For that kinda money I would let you take me for a throw,' she mocked him pitilessly: 'but you don’t know what to do with a real a**!' 

She then punched an intransigent guest who calls Kenan a 'moron' while demanding the more luxurious room he booked rather than the lesser room where he wound up.

When the cops arrived asking about a corpse on the beach, the entire staff pretended not to know anything about it.

Their ironclad sense of omertà was typified by Ego's manager character, who said: 'Is the ocean the hotel? ‘Cause I work at the hotel.'

A game night sketch starred Ego, Kenan, Heidi and Michael Longfellow playing Taboo with their new neighbors, a couple called Sasha (Aubrey) and Ian (Mikey Day).

Handing Sasha a set of cards, Heidi's character explained the rules of the game, in which the players are sorted into teams of two.

Ian and Sasha were one team, and since Sasha had the cards, Ian was the one who had to guess what word was written on top of each one.

'So remember you need him to guess the word on top without using any of the words underneath it,' said Heidi, adding: 'If you do you get buzzed!'

To the other players' mounting horror, Sasha and Ian began to reveal quirks of her personality that grew wilder and wilder with each card.

When she asked him to name an item she frequently purchases on the internet and has an inordinate supply of, his correct answer was a gun.

Sasha was 'really cranky in the morning until I’ve had my…,' she said, to which her husband victoriously announced: 'Acid!' 

Another round uncovered her nicknames for his penis, which apparently included not only 'Tiny Tim' but also the even blunter 'garbage.'

The next answer unveiled what the personality test she took during couple’s therapy revealed she was: 'Sociopath!'

'The night we met I was on….’ Sasha prompted, and Ian began 'ketamine' and 'parole' but kept getting egged on until finally he arrived at: 'On fire!'

'I am not legally allowed back in this state,' Sasha said, an Ian listed
