Amber Watches Her '16 And Pregnant' Casting Tape -- And Gets A Case Of The Giggles

In a sneak peek of 'Getting to Know: Amber,' Leah's mom takes a trip back to her pre-MTV days.

Before Amber was chosen to document her journey to parenthood with then-partner Gary on "16 and Pregnant," the future MTV cast member had to submit a casting tape explaining why she'd be a good fit to tell her story. Little did Leah's mama know at the time that the candid interview -- conducted by her baby daddy -- would be the beginning of her involvement with the groundbreaking docu-series.

Before "Teen Mom" returns next month, all of the girls will sit down with their loved ones to relive some of their memorable MTV moments during four separate "Getting to Know" specials — airing this Saturday (February 21). And in the sneak peek of Amber's hour-long program, below, the Indiana native is a bit reluctant to watch the old-school footage.

"This is going to be weird," she says, noting that the video was recorded nearly seven years ago. "I do not want to watch this!"

But as soon as the clip rolls, the 24-year-old can't contain her laughter. "We fight a lot -- he's sort of an a**hole sometimes," the then-teen admits about G as present-day A cackles at the TV screen.

Another snippet that ignites a chuckling fit: The erstwhile couple's reaction to finding out they were avec child.

"Well, I mean, we're moving in together and I finally get him out of his mom's house," Amber says with a bit of attitude. "At the age of 21."

But what was it like telling her mom, who is featured during the special on a nearby couch, that she was expecting? And what does she make of her behavior during the audition process? Watch the humorous admission below, then catch all of the "Getting to Know" specials airing Saturday night beginning at 8/7c. And be sure to stay tuned to MTV News for more updates on the upcoming “TMOG” season!
