'Superstore' Star Lauren Ash: Wearing a Sexy Cop Outfit Wasn't 'Brave'

The hilarious Lauren Ash stopped by to chat with Rach about her NBC hit comedy “Superstore,” and shed light on how her character came to be.

Lauren, a Canada native, shares this story when when she worked with Second City in Toronto, “We did this improv exercise where we cut out classified ads and put them in a hat, and you drew one, and that was your character inspiration. Mine read, ‘Woman who loves hard rock concerts and roller coasters seeks platonic male companion for fun.’ And literally, that’s [my character] Dina. When I was reading the script for ‘Superstore,’ I was like, ‘I know her, I’ve known her for years!’”

She also had some pretty direct words for certain people who commented on her sexy cop get-up for the “Superstore” Halloween episode, “If one more person tells me they think I was brave [for wearing that costume], I’m going to throw something through a window. Soldiers and firefighters are brave, but a smoking hot woman wearing a hot pleather lingerie outfit is not brave, it’s doing the public a favor!”
