The lingo tripped the actress up, causing her to slur her words to the point she wasn't \"speaking English\" anymore.

Despite royally screwing up the read, Whedon saw something she didn't and offered her the role of Willow Rosenberg \"because the chemistry was there.\"

It turns out the news surprised everyone at the chemistry read because, as Hannigan comically added, \"Poor Sarah, she was like 'Ugh, this poor girl!'\"

She even recreated the pained look Gellar shot her during the read before dissolving into laughter.

\"Buffy the Vampire Slayer\" ran for seven seasons between 1997 and 2003. The show went on to win two Emmys and three Teen Choice Awards, one that Hannigan won in 2002 for Choice TV: Sidekick.
