In a move that would make April Ludgate proud, Aubrey Plaza swiped some notes from then Vice President Joe Biden.
Plaza recently appeared on her former Parks and Recreation costar Amy Poehler‘s Good Hang podcast. The duo recalled the cast’s tour of the White House.
They were shown around the West Wing after Biden appeared on the show. The former president made two cameos on Parks, once during season 5 and again during the series finale.
“I saw a little, like, vice president-monogrammed notebook piece of paper that said, like, ‘Aubrey Plaza’ and then, like, three facts about me,” the Agatha All Along actress said.
Plaza and the former president share a hometown in Wilmington, Del. That fact was apparently written in Biden’s notes about her.
Plaza was later reprimanded by showrunner Michael Schur for taking the notes. He told her “you cannot steal” from the vice president’s desk.

“I was like, ‘Oh, shut up, Mike,'” she said. “And he was like, ‘We’re literally in the White House.’ And I was like, ‘We are?'”
Poehler noted that the White Lotus star never got in trouble. The friends joked that the White House had surprisingly little security in its rooms and that it was kind of stale.
“It is weird how janky the White House actually is,” Poehler said.
