Why Aubrey Plaza Was Wearing Tie-Dye at SNL50
On January 3, Baena tragically took his own life. In the days that followed, Plaza and Baena’s family jointly issued a statement expressing their gratitude for the outpouring of support, while asking for privacy during this difficult time. Unfortunately, Plaza was unable to present at the Golden Globes on January 5 as planned. Plaza has a special bond with Saturday Night Live, having interned there during the 2004-2005 season and also participating in the NBC page program the following year. She even wore her page uniform again when she hosted the show in 2023. On Sunday night, it wasn’t just Plaza who turned up for Lorne Michaels; Jack Nicholson made his first public appearance since 2023, introducing Adam Sandler.
