Interview with David DeNicolo
Do you have any comic heroines?
Gilda Radner. A lot of people from SNL like Ana Gastayer and Molly Shannon. I was a huge Seinfeld fan, and I loved anything that Julia Louis-Dreyfus did. I could go on forever.
Your father's family is from Puerto Rico. Do you consider yourself Latina?
Yeah. I'm half. I definitely identify with that half. It's my dominant half.
What do you think about typical depictions of Latinas in TV comedy?
Typically there's a lot of big stereotypes. Which is what I like about April, because it's not her whole character. The typical big hothead like Sofia Vegara['s character] is funny but not the only thing that could be on TV.
Your delivery is so deadpan. Do you ever worry that people don't see that you're joking?
People now just assume I'm f'ing with them.
You have called Amy Poehler "a violent monster who makes me cry every day on set."
She is one of the scariest people I've ever worked with. If I go to the craft table for a snack, she slaps it out of my hands! She doesn't let me eat food. She's always telling me I need to lose five pounds. She's a nightmare.

I like April though.
POR EJEMPLO, she said two of the following three things with complete sincerity, and one as a joke. See if you can find the joke!
1. "Wendy's new natural-cut fries are healthier for you than their old ones because they have sea salt and some skin left on them. I'm glad to see they're trying to do things to make their menu healthier."
2. "Minimum wage is stupid. We wouldn't have any unemployment problems if they would just let people pay their workers whatever they wanted."
3. "This car I'm looking at gets 8 mpg and nothing in the dashboard panel works, and it's going for $18,000 - so I found this place online that would give me a loan and I'm picking it up on Tuesday!!!"
Srsly I have a million of these...
Because I do feel that Amy is a kind of undercover mega bitch
I don't think Amy is an undercover bitch, but will not take shit if provoked. I'm always reminded of Tina feys story about Amy poehler telling off jimmy Fallon saying she didn't care if he didn't like her joke cuz he saw it as uncute.
She's not an asshole though
