“I didn’t make it to the Lorne [Michaels] audition, the famous final audition, but I did a preliminary first-round showcase,” Aubrey recalled. “I remember one character I did was like a Puerto Rican news reporter that was always trying to make all of the news stories sexy, even if they were horrific news stories. I was just trying to like, sex up the news or something.”

Aubrey‘s second original character was “a pill-popping housewife that had a show called ‘Celebri-Tails,’ where I would just name celebrities and name what kind of tail they would have if they had a tail. Like I would say, ‘Lindsay Lohan would have a bushy squirrel’s tail.’ Or, like, ‘Bill Clinton would have a polar bear’s nub.’”

While the audition didn’t land Aubrey a cast member role on the show, she did end up becoming an “intern in the design department” from 2004 to 2005.

“They loved me because I did not care about set design at all, and they wanted an intern that had no interest in learning what they did,” Aubrey said, adding that she spent most of her time “stalking” and “lurking in the shadows.” “I was just, like, creepy. Like, I was a creepy stalker. Now I’m gonna host it, so my master plan worked!”

Aubrey will be making her debut as host on SNL on Saturday, January 21. Find out who will be the musical guest!
