This season’s crop of television shows have been, in our opinion, miles stronger than in years past. And nowhere is that more apparent than in the return of the TV comedy. NBC’s Thursday night comedy block continues to deliver watercooler-worthy moments and we’ve also been pleasantly surprised by the laughs delivered by sophomore series Parks and Recreation. Though Amy Poehler is the deserving star, we’ve been captivated by supporting player Aubrey Plaza, who’s managed to steal many of the scenes she’s in. Plaza also appeared in this summer’s Funny People, alongside Adam Sandler, and her career’s only taking off from there, with a role in Michael Cera’s next film, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World. We profiled Plaza in our latest issue of Corduroy (available on newsstands and online now) and discovered an actress who’s smarter and wittier than her sweet, good-natured looks may belie.
