Aubrey Plaza's Legion Character Is a Dude and Has a Stripper Name

[@sarahdaydream9682]

Her performance on Legion was magnificent. She was simultaneously stunning, hilarious, and terrifying all at once.

[@abandonedmuse]

So a regular amazing woman. Hahaha check! ☑️

[@paolac6640]

​@@abandonedmuse 😒

[@qasperr994]

Legion really is an awesome show.

[@ghostparker1987]

Qas Perr not at all. it could've been tho.

[@calvintyler9281]

Robert Parker why is it bad in your opinion. I mean I've watched it and I loved it. so I'm curious

[@blixxsage5775]

Legion is gonna be big

[@gladiator_games]

Qas Perr it tripps me out

[@Goken234]

You must've fallen asleep

[@formoftherapy]

Her performance is literally getting better and better on Legion.

[@SubliminalCrazy]

When she’s the doctor? I was blow away, but when she dropped it down to her human form, her range made me question , is this the same person ? She’s underrated like crazy

[@SirCammyBoi]

I'm you, I'm me. I'm everything you wanna be

[@JonhEdward]

lol

[@irsyadharfiansyah7987]

i loved that part *lol*

[@thepokekid01]

Aubrey Plaza deserves an Emmy for her performance in this show.

[@HiImGraySquirrel]

She's a huge reason I watch!!

[@evanmanion9383]

Agreed

[@deaaqua86]

Anyone who has watched the show knows it's impossible to describe her role without ruining the many surprises that comes from her character.

[@hannyadisme]

I watched the show because of her, and I stayed because it's awesome.

[@damianstarks3338]

DC Infinity she is the best thing on the show.

[@slayme3]

@Damian Starks - WRONG. The best thing about Seth's show is his segment called "A Closer Look" - it's almost always about Trump and how awful Trump is in all his many, many, many ways. Seth is the best, smartest person doing late night except for Stephen Colbert - who for what it is now - six weeks straight has beaten The Tonight Show and Fallon? Something like that. Stephen and Seth rule! (Aubrey's not bad either).

[@suddenlywat]

slayme I think they were talking about Legion.

[@kristiangeoffreysese7620]

Yeah they were talking about legion, dude

[@damianstarks3338]

slayme no suprise there no one can escape trumps stupidity and what's even worst is he is the president.

[@Hsm4everFanClub]

imagine sixth episode's sexy Lenny dance scene with a middle-aged man

[@maiasm]

Tondo the Awesome Honestly, with this show, that wouldn't have surprised me one bit. Bodysuit and all. Lol!

[@albinaugustin6904]

It's a damn shame Seth has the deadest audience.

[@hertzer2000]

Would you prefer the fake audience laughter like on The Big Bang Theory?

[@albinaugustin6904]

hertzer2000 ofc not, but something in between would be nice. You know, like normal ppl.

[@juliajesus35]

Graham Norton show has the best crowds. I've heard a rumor that they use fake laughs, but I don't believe it.

[@ElizabethT45]

They might 'fill in' the laughs I guess, but if the guests get alcohol, the audience might have some too lol

[@mpittard21]

There is an applause sign , it lights up, people clap. Thats not an audience. Thats hiring a bunch of people off the street and telling me to laugh and clap when the pretty light lights up.

[@Christoph1990]

What a lovely smile she has...

[@GrahamCStrouse]

Chr1z2 Lovely and creepy at the same time. She's sort of like a grown-up Wednesday Addams...

[@damianstarks3338]

Graham Strouse cool comment.

[@damianstarks3338]

Chr1z2 I almost forgot that part of her make her even more irresistible.

[@kalegodlord8361]

Chr1z2 she's looks crazy and sexy

[@joeyp9524]

I love her lol "I'm you, I'm me, I'm everything you wanna be"

[@akashshanmugam7162]

I'm scared of her

[@cqtaylor]

1:54 "They'rrrrre Great!"

[@spiderjeranimo4992]

Thats Frosties(Frosted Flakes), you get them from Amy Schumer(hint-the white coating ain't sugar).

[@Sleepy.Time.]

now i want cornflakes

[@joeyp9524]

I'd like to add some milk to her "cornflakes"

[@jerodast]

I'd be disgusted with you if that wasn't actually a tiny bit clever haha.

[@contac9480]

The breakfast queen

[@GazmoSin1960s]

I can't get enough of this woman! She's a stunner ;)

[@jtw.111]

She's gotten less awkward in interviews than a few years ago. I think being in more movies since Parks & Rec has probably helped her get used to doing press and stuff.

[@HartSickle]

Justin Witham Nah she ain't awkward she just has a deadpan sense of humor. Which is great.

[@yethatkid]

HartSickle, nah her old interviews she was really awkward and wouldn't really speak (as any shy person would be). watch em

[@stephencody6088]

Well she's autistic,not severely but it's noticeable.

[@HartSickle]

Stephen Cody Um. Yeah no. She is just Deadpan.

[@Kronikwookie]

She doesn't have aphasia. She has social anxiety. Like the other person said, she's been improving due to the amount of exposure she's been getting.

[@davidlance5310]

I wish I could get so drunk or take so much LSD that Aubrey Plaza could then appear by my side. Her character in Legion's my new favourite to character ever next to Jerry from Rick and Morty

[@InverseAgonist]

David Lance do you need a little Betsy Tough Love in your life?

[@LnceClement23]

what a Jerry you are

[@thenomaic]

Jerry is your favorite character from R§M ? Lol gotta tell the other Ricks about it

[@dankestmemes9843]

David Lance I'm telling the Council of Ricks. Oh wait, they're dead.

[@busessuck1]

Hah Jerry... Seth Rogan is the Jerry of late night hosts... along with like 90% of all these talk show hosts

[@NewhamMatt]

Somehow I think that if I were married to Aubrey Plaza and she died, she would make a point of constantly coming back and haunting me.

[@GrahamCStrouse]

NewhamMatt I kinda feel like that if she met someone who she found mildly entertaining she would come from dead to haunt them.

[@abandonedmuse]

Ironically Seth looks so much like David Haller. Aubrey is so amazing on this show.

[@bestboy897]

oh man shes hot

[@cerboris521]

I totally agree.

[@viralbhalla]

she is pornstar hot

[@spinningbackkick6021]

OMG. I'm in love..

[@davidgill3356]

Greg Monts n

[@damianstarks3338]

fazeel ashraf one of the hottest women on the planet.

[@emperater]

I love her facial expressions it really works well for her character in the show

[@Sharp_3yE]

I was actually sad after the first episode because she dies and her character was so fantastic. Then she kept coming up in later episodes and was like "Oh, this is even more interesting then before." She is AMAZING in the show.

[@glittery_cucumber]

Seth is a very, very good interviewer.

[@jerodast]

It must be a little scary interviewing Aubrey since you're never quite sure how that deadpan's gonna play. He moderates it well.

[@havianadventure]

i love her on the show

[@damianstarks3338]

havianadventure the best thing on it.

[@nataliefletcher]

well 'cornflake girl' and 'the breakfast queen' makes much more sense now 😂

[@Apostate_ofmind]

So she is basically her character, but without the murder.. Well less murder at least

[@abandonedmuse]

That we know. Exactly. lol

[@rachit]

oh man i love her so much.

[@damianstarks3338]

RACHiT SiNGH my dream girl.

[@emilym3206]

Legion is one of my favourite shows ever

[@castelinoallan]

love her!! she can pull of anything!

[@damianstarks3338]

Allan castelino awesome actress.

[@eddwithbraindamage6751]

Allan castelino Including cornflakes

[@georgef3428]

I fucking love her humor.

[@MyNameJeff00]

Bro she's not even trying

[@ElijahParfitt]

Aubrey's persona in comedy is already kinda crazy so , this transition is very well done and believable in a different medium. She did a great job so far.

[@SubliminalCrazy]

It’s crazy how I never knew until this year about her being in the show, since I just started watching it on Hulu every chance I get!

[@MrZimpoppel]

Usually, I avoid anything with the Marvel or DC trademarks, but I really like Aubrey Plaza, so I gave it a shot, and guess what ? It is one of the best series I have seen in years !

[@m.r.a.sandroidzone3464]

Aubrey Plaza- What an good character she created. She is so talented. WOW, so much energy does she have. Another talented actress in Hollywood

[@timheffernan4519]

Watched episode 7 of Legion tonight and Aubrey's ability to act is simply brilliant. They really made the right choice with her playing the role of 'Lenny',

[@kayleyschurman5964]

My eyes got so wide because I had no idea David was the Professor's son. I knew he was adopted but not that.

[@damianstarks3338]

Kayley Schurman I've always known he was the professor's son.

[@badboykilla6768]

this show needs more attention, p.s the mutant universe has so much potential. have you scen logan n legion

[@SpicyPepperon]

It's actually awesome to hear that she'd mess with Dan Stevens' head off-screen considering how much her character does on-screen

[@troybrannon3067]

Didn't know her characters middle name is cornflake. I wonder if that's why the last song in season 2 is a remake of cornflake girl

[@deeamparo1703]

Noah has a twin, Alexi. He's the reason why Castle went the way it did in S8 even if he did write great episodes of the show before becoming showrunner. He's also the creator of The Following, which was eventually cancelled. xP Hehehe!

[@Moreion]

That must have been a really hard interview for Aubrey talking about her character and not giving any of the plot. Amazing

[@Palladum12]

Having seen upto episode 7 i find it fun how they mixed the "originally was a dude" INTO the show. If you watch it you know what im on about

[@kreater120]

"Everyone is smart except for me!" yet she did a brilliant performance!

[@Abdullahjimmy]

She still seems to be in character omg

[@jdhabdsudcbld]

her black and white mute scene was priceless

[@WarrentonExplainsItAlll]

She's really good in this show. She deserves an emmy for sure.

[@kirtandreamrezzer]

Definitely BINGE worthy. Trippy, deep psycho vibe, great writing, acting, directing and soundtrack.

[@cleaveuntome42]

The Legion mini-series is the best thing coming out of DC Rebirth right now.

[@iamsteelee24]

I almost forgot how much I love her!!! Parks & Rec--WOW!

[@SarcasticDuck]

it seems after Deadpool, Fox suddenly understands how to correctly make movies/shows about their Marvel heroes! Wanna try another F4 reboot?

[@ConnorMcCartney95]

Sarcastic Duck They were hardly going to fail with Noah Hawley wanting to make a comic book show.

[@WanderingWisp]

Although Fox owns the rights to the X-men characters in movies, Marvel gained the rights to shoot a tv show. Legion is actually a Marvel TV production with FX, not Fox. Fox has nothing to do with Legion.

[@emperater]

+Cody Binghamn no it's mainly a fox production with Marvel TV co producing. Most of the producers on the show are Fox X men producers like Bryan Singer, Simon Kinberg, Lauren Shuler Donner but it is joint with Jeff Loeb of Marvel tv

[@arrrghh]

Legion is awesome and trippy at the same time.

[@zombiekiller9503]

CAN YOU LET THE QUEEN SPEAK??? Goodness!

[@lostman8598]

I am so in love with her. She is crazy, and weird, and awkward, and perfect.

[@marksharman8029]

I'm binge watching and yeah its blowing my mind. Aubrey is wicked good in this role. Not often I get my brains blown out as a form of entertainment.

[@Philipjpaterson]

"I'm you,I'm me, I'm everything you want to be"

[@gammasmash1924]

She was really good on Legion. Totally changed my opinion of her as a performer.

[@polyrolf9397]

Did Seth totally just spoil who Daniel's dad is for all the non-comic book readers?

[@slayme3]

Maybe... well - unfortunately yes. Doh.

[@KongFuzii]

Poly Rolf the tv show might not be the same as the comics

[@nathanramseymusicpoetry8733]

Its a parallel universe to the Marvel and X-men universe. Basically, Professor Xavier doesn't even exist in the universe Legion is based on. Nothing is spoiled.

[@MichaelBrown-mr3th]

Don't want to burst your bubble but he definitely does exist... There was a brief scene of Professor X's wheelchair in Legion and they have already said David was adopted...

[@kaileewalden3586]

It was never really a secret.

[@cartoon80s90s]

I see her in this video and I have no idea how she changes to Lenny. The metamorphosis is just too intense. The show is my favorite superhero show of all times, and Lenny is my favorite character, mostly because Aubrey is amazing.

[@jcsmooth70]

She is the king of this show! wink wink

[@kylecar18]

Theres so much information in this I thought it was an 11 minute video

[@ThatTubaGuy]

She's amazing tho in legion. It just suits her.

[@bluebarash2488]

I would give my life for just one hour of conversation with this Marvelous piece of a woman, Period.

[@Sarva07]

Yeah .. "conversation", that's how they call it today XD

[@TiffanyJLeung]

She did soo good in Legion

[@keithtanyf]

i will never look at cornflakes the same way again....

[@omarcruz8774]

It's a cool twist to the Shdow King.

[@MACAFRO97]

Is it a spoiler that Dan Stevens character is Dr X's son? I dotn remember it being revealed on the show :(

[@gauchesymbiote1039]

I might be able to elaborate on Cornflakes. There is a cover of Tori Amos' Cornflake Girl that is used in the show, and the term "Cornflake Girl" is something that Tori came up with...I'll leave it there. Google exists. Once you understand Tori's meaning of cornflake girl, it'll make a lot of sense in the context of the show. 😉

[@AlejandraRodriguez-mr4pf]

The show legion is so awesome it is trippy easy to be confused but it never fails to surprise I recommend it and I'm sure it'll be big because it's unlike any other marvel based show

[@maaria561]

That dress is the cutest!!!!

[@aaronparrish659]

i wonder what was in the frog that they breathed in like for the set.....

[@myriamkannibalmonster2633]

is annoying that every time Aubrey start to speak Seth interrupts her.

[@aarondolney4178]

first time i watched Legion i didnt know what i was getting myself into i didnt know that he is a character from the Xmen. i LOVE IT now that i do know im very interested in reading the comic

[@pushkarsaraf9501]

is the background real?

[@MsPiinkFllamingo]

Best show on TV right now! Aubrey is awesome! I love her!!

[@yomarcelojeje]

Oh, you gotta love Aubrey Plaza

[@JonhEdward]

i love when she moves her head

[@Jiggerjaw]

I definitely thought from the title that Aubrey plays World of Warcraft. Bummer.

[@SmugSuspenders]

I always think Mass Effect when I see "Legion" :p

[@Knifetothefaceprod]

PutinWithAnimals Shapard Commander?

[@sebastianalegria3401]

Brenden Patch she is one of the hottest sexy actrees l love her

[@SmugSuspenders]

Kieran Collins Yes, Legion?

[@jonathanfesmiresteampunkau6983]

She was in a WoW commercial, so she might.

[@anthonyjohnson3646]

Lenny has been my favorite character in the show. Her craziness has made her a little more sexy to me now, lol.

[@dalemarkus1124]

Seth Myers has personally made pancakes for me on several different occasions. They are always delicious!!!

[@anantbisht5607]

she is playing shadow king

[@changhwanko]

wow just watched the latest episode and she wasnt kidding when she says her character is a dude...kind of....

[@DaquanDumas]

Legion is imo the best superhero show ever. However, that doesn't mean the most enjoyable. Don't get me wrong. I just binged it and I enjoyed it like crazy. I just enoy DareDevil and Agents of Shield more. Probably because I'm more invested in those characters. But Noah Hawley did it again. After the Fargo masterpiece this is an other.

[@grantsummar1742]

Technically spoilers btw Lenny actually was a dude named Benny Lenny is just the devil with the yellow eyes in disguise so it is a middle aged man in the end

[@Lyw1234567890]

This show's from the x men universe and has Aubrey plaza in it? Alright, I'm in

[@davidbouchard8963]

it seems to me that if you really want to connect with Aubrey, you have to use humor, several layers of sarcasm, and have at least half of that humor occur in a completely deadpan fashion. and if you aren't willing to do that, you'll lose her. this is what I love about her :P

[@abandonedmuse]

She is my spirit animal. I know that if we knew each other we would be best friends because I’m exactly the same way. I always got her humor because it’s my humor. So it was so perfect. I loved her since Parks and Rec.

[@turtledove2095]

For the two episodes I have to press forward because it is hard to understand what is going on, probably because i have no idea about legion until this show. I didn't even know she was dead in the first episode, is there a scene? Until episode 3 and 4 when I start to understand what the show is going, i totally like it and can't w8 for the next episode.

[@maxben3391]

You get to see her dead body in the first episode and the interrogator says Lenny is dead. But yes, its a very thick show, slow moving and every scene has multiple audio, visual, and text cues for what's going on. I rewatched the first episode yesterday and its so cool that it holds up on multiple viewing because the more context you have the deeper you can look into each scene.

[@HelloGoodbye1c1]

I wish I could marry Aubrey

[@damianstarks3338]

Hello Goodbye don't all the guys who are attracted to her.

[@HelloGoodbye1c1]

Damian Starks some just wanna bang. i want both lol

[@bobbyrayparris6711]

I love this girl

[@josephtalksalot9182]

Lenny is favorite character on Legion.

[@Jeaurod]

spoiler alert? I know the origin of Legion but I don't recall Xavier being confirmed as the father in the show.

[@speedracer195]

Nicholus Joyner he might not be in the show. but if you look up his character (like I'm sure Seth did for this interview) that'll be like the first thing you see... I learned that right after seeing the first trailer and looking it up so I wouldn't call that a spoiler, if you any amount of research on the source material you'll see that... and I don't think knowing that info ruins the show in any way shape or form either so I wouldn't call that a spoiler

[@tofu_golem]

Legion is an amazing show!

[@psychrot]

i love her so much

[@samsomething8318]

i fucking love this show.

[@mcmarkmarkson7115]

She is so fucking amazing in this show!

[@mimshop122]

I like her more than any other char

[@Dahkeus3]

Not gonna lie: I came here expecting this to be about a celebrity who plays World of Warcraft.

[@DemonDaria]

she is the best thing about this show

[@zimtub]

I love David Bowie

[@barbaro267]

Her character existed in the psychiatric hospital....but is technically a part of David's psyche. If the parasite is not a mutant, then I need it explained better in a future episode.

[@icantread4011]

reaaaaaally waiting for some Lennie rule 34

[@Sleazuschrist419]

she is so beautiful. I love her humor so much. I wish I could chill with her all day. when can I??

[@gazzalenbrick6381]
