Sherman Admits She Struggles with Inside-Out Acting Approach at SNL
Good Hang with Amy Poehler
Sarah Sherman
"Ashley Padilla started 2 years ago, and I'm like, oh my God, like, character. And like, everyone, every character she has is like an internal world. And like, the jokes come kind of easy to her because she has like inside— she like knows what the character wants, and there's like, there's a motivation there. And I feel like I've been doing it all wrong for like 6 fucking years because I'm like, what if the wig is weird?"
In a candid moment, Sarah Sherman confessed that after five seasons she feels she has been doing SNL characters wrong by working outside-in through costumes and wigs rather than developing internal character motivations like newer cast member Ashley Padilla. Amy Poehler countered that Sherman may fear success at traditional acting more than failure.
