Nick offerman parks and rec12/28/2023 ![]() “And we should have the doctor on TV say Jerry has the largest penis he’s ever seen,” Poehler added.Ĭhris Pratt: “My favorite was Patton’s ‘Star Wars’ filibuster.” (see above)Īubrey Plaza: “I don’t know. That’s the only way I can emotionally cope with all the jokes.” Outside the office, everything goes perfectly. He should have three adult daughters who are the most beautiful women in the world. “He should be married to Christie Brinkley. “When we started running a million jokes about Jerry when he would fart or trip, I said the only way we can do this is if we find out he secretly has the best life of anyone,” Schur said. It’s widely known, though, that O’Heir himself is an extremely kind and well-loved individual, making it hard for some of the actors and writers to constantly pick on him. It’s been a running gag since the beginning that Jim O’Heir’s character Jerry (or Gary or, more currently, Larry) has always been the butt of office jokes - often times relating to the character’s overly-active rear end (see Jerry’s “fart attack”). Why Jerry/Gary/Larry has the best life ever - outside of the office. “And it never makes the gag reel because it’s super disgusting to watch,” Schur added. Then Poehler interrupted to the delight of the fans in attendance: “But I will say every year there’s a scene, just for the gag reel, where Leslie and Ron make out.” “They were not romantic options for each other,” Schur said. Democrats are like, ‘More people should have food.’ At the beginning, the main conception of the show was that there would be a dad and a mom in the office, but the idea was like a stern, but loving dad and a loving mom.”Īfter Schur explained the origins of the co-workers’ relationship, he touched on a point that has always been clear to fans. Republicans are kind of like stern and tough and personal responsibility and war and stuff like that. “There’s an old adage - that I don’t think is really true - but the adage is when people want a dad they vote Republican and when they want a mom they vote Democrat. ‘This is a show…about two kinds of people…’ Ron and Leslie were a very Mary and Lou Grant kind of relationship.” When you start a show, you kind of have to broad stroke it a bit. “But at first we were really showing the two sides of government work. “Leslie and Ron were like opposites, and still are,” Poehler said. Leslie Knope and Ron Swanson originally represented Democrats and Republicans.Īfter Oswalt asked a question about the relationship between Leslie and Ron, Poehler was ready with a multi-layered, clear response. All the people who are here tonight feel like they own a piece of it, which I feel like is the secret to any success, that it’s collaborative. The show, like most creative things, can become bigger than you, and this show became owned by the people who watched it and kept it alive. ![]() Poehler, who - keeping with her on stage tradition - was drinking a glass of wine throughout the evening, recounted how creator Michael Schur convinced her to sign on for “Parks and Recreation.” “Mike just said a very simple thing to me when he was pitching the show: ‘You will really like the way we do this show, and I promise you this will be the best job you’ve ever had.’ Something very simple, and he was right.
