About Janet Snakehole
Janet Snakehole is an alter-ego used by the April Ludgate character on NBC’s cult classic Parks and Recreation. Favorite actress Aubrey Plaza plays the role of Janet Snakehole. Her first appearance comes when April and friend Andy challenge each other to get as much free stuff as they can at a bar called the Snakehole Lounge. Donning a staff t-shirt, April claims to be Janet Snakehole, the bar owner’s daughter.
Later though, when the pair decides to roleplay at the Snakehole Lounge again, the persona of Janet has changed to a wealthy, posh widow who dramatically protests her innocence to Andy, who has transformed into Burt Macklin, an FBI agent. She keeps the charade going into the next morning, and also later adopts the persona to play Janet Snakehole again while creating a fake movie to grant Andy’s bucket list item of being an action movie star.
