I remember when I had my first round of auditions, they called me in and said, “Bill Hader wants to meet you. How do you feel about coming in and improvising tomorrow?” I was like, “Not good!” I don’t come from that world, and he’s the prince of comedy in this country. But I went in and we improvised for an hour as my callback. From the very beginning, there was a tone of, “Let’s figure this out together.” It was certainly the most fun I’ve ever had in an audition.

The episode last season where Sally gets dropped by her agent for not sleeping with him was so devastating — and you filmed it before #MeToo really took off.

[When Hader and Berg] originally wrote that scene, she got defensive and stood up for herself and stormed out. They asked the female writers, “Does this read true?” And they went, “No, she would apologize.” I feel like I’ve been in that situation where there’s passive-aggressive sexual harassment and you’re so stunned by it in the moment, your brain doesn’t have time to catch up. I thought it was really smart writing.

I’m fascinated by the backlash [to #MeToo] because I think people are really impatient. I think it’s a movement; it takes time. We’re not done with it and we’re not finished, and I feel as though we’re not going to really understand what’s changed for a good few years. I feel like it’s a long overdue conversation that needed to come out on this kind of massive scale.

I’m 33; I was born in 1985 in Canada. That’s winning the lottery right there as a woman. I feel like I was sold a bit of a lie. All the girls in my class had the best grades. All the girls in my class had their hands up first, and we were sold this idea of equality. It never occurred to me that we were unequal until I got into the workforce. The harsh reality kind of came down harder because I was really naive.


Any plans to return to the stage?
