The young star clarified that she is not as ‘dark and twisted’ in real life, contrary to her reel characters. Addressing the studio as well as the TV audience, Ortega joked, “I think there’s just something about my face where people see it, and they’re like, ‘Hey! Let’s throw blood on that’.”

The celebrity also performed several sketches on stage during her outing and was joined by her ‘Wednesday’

co-star Fred Armisen – one of the longest-tenured cast members on ‘Saturday Night Live’.

“You were on the show for 11 seasons,” Jenna acknowledged to Armisen and mentioned that he was the reason she tuned in to the late-night show during her younger years.
