1) Her twitter- I mentioned Retta's twitter in my Parks and Rec Recs because its one of the really good twitters. She watches good shows and live tweets, I think she still does that... I'm not super into twitter. But hers make me smile. She tells it like it is and she's cool. She's a cool twitter person to follow, so you should follow her to be cool. Peer Pressure! Lol. (side note, I always want to spell peer pressure Pier Pressure because of Arrested Development.) Just checked out her twitter and I really need to get back into this cause she has some great live tweets of shows like How To Get Away With Murder and Empire.
2) She was scared to be on Parks and Rec- So this is kind of a weird way to phrase this. On Seth Meyers she mentioned that she wasn't an improvisor before the show. She was just a comedian, but she was kind of scared to do improv on the show and intimidated by Amy Poehler and everyone... but she did it and she killed it! She was amazing as Donna. I feel like the show improved a lot when they expanded her role, she really added a lot to the show. She was a perfect counterpart to Tom Haverford and her interactions with the guys on the show were funny. And her scenes with April and Ann were always really funny. I loved the episode where April was trying to figure out what kind of dog she was and she was offended. I loved seeing her with Craig at the end of the series... she was just amazing.
3) She's real- I feel like a lot of people say this about her, but she is real. I feel like I've mentioned this before, but like when she was on How Did This Get Made she was watching Spice World... which basically if you aren't like my age and the Spice Girls weren't everything to you... is completely unwatchable. She mentioned she couldn't really watch it because of the ridiculous tour bus... but she went on anyway and she was one of the best guests of that show in my opinion. Idk if thats exactly an example of "She's real" is the right way to describe this... but thats the best way I can think of.
4) She made Donna Meagle super relatable and fun- Recently a bunch of my friends have started watching Parks and Rec and they pretty much all go "I love Donna. I want to be her." And we kind of strive for that in our daily lives. I don't think any other actor or comedian would be able to play Donna quite as well as she does and really bring the level of fabulousness that Donna has to the role. She is just awesome at it and everything she does is awesome!
5) She's from Jersey- Anyone from Jersey is cool with me.
Good job being awesome Retta!
Treat yo'self to her twitter page!
Byeee!
