You would think that by season five these bits would get old, but one of the biggest laughs in the room is whenever there’s a Jerry slam. We do a table read every week with the producers and writers. What makes it funny is that Jerry’s such a trooper. It just started because Jerry is a clumsy, oafish kind of guy, he’s an easy target. Three beautiful kids, he’s super talented, he plays the piano. Jerry goes home to wonderful wife who simply adores him - she happens to be unbelievably beautiful. The first season that Adam and Rob came in, they came in because of budgets, basically saying “We’ve got to clear some people out of here.” say “What about this Jerry Gergich?” And the first thing out of Leslie mouth is “Oh, no, we couldn’t do without him.” What I love about the show, about the Christmas episode where they have the “Jerry dinner,” they’re going to mock him… ultimately, Jerry has the best life out of all of them. But as you said, there’s so much heart in this show, and as much as they can be so mean to Jerry, they also have his back. Jerry’s the one who spills on himself, he misspeaks, he uses the wrong words here and there. Hopefully it’s not as harsh as what’s done to Jerry. I haven’t had to work in an office for years, but for many years prior I did, and it seems to me there’s always that person. What is it about the character that just screams “target”? That said, even though it happens lovingly, Jerry takes so much abuse. The whole day, people kept going “Did that just happen? Did we just shoot a scene with Newt Gingrich?”Īs a show, “Parks and Rec” has such a kind heart. We did maybe four, five takes, and he got it.
He was totally gung-ho to do it, just ready to go. It was crazy, since this year we’ve already had Biden and Boxer and all these other politicians, that he happened to be there at this place at that time. It was so surreal - and it was perfect, because what’s awesome about “Parks” is that we have a lot of politicians on the show, but we’re not political liberal or conservative. Mike, who’s a brilliant writer, within five minutes has created a scene. Next thing you know, he’s talking to our executive producer Mike Schur.
Newt came there to have lunch and saw that we were shooting, just by coincidence. I remember sitting at the table and Chris Pratt was like, “Newt Gingrich was just at the trailer.” I figured he was pulling my leg. Elmo because Ron’s dream for his bachelor party would be at a place like that. You’ve got to understand, it was not planned. He’s just shocked that this is all happening.Ĭan you tell me about meeting Newt Gingrich? I saw the clip on NBC’s website, and the encounter seems to be based around a joke about his last name versus that of your character. But Jerry does sit at home and watches the Colts - he’s a born and raised Indianan, so that’s his team. I won’t reveal what it is, but when you see my perfect bachelor party… it’s very Jerry. Jerry seems like more of an indoor activities kind of guy. As it turns out, Rob’s character Chris knows Jim Irsay, who owns the Colts, and say “We can do that.” We take a road trip, and the next thing you know, the guys are in Lucas Oil Stadium, and we have the run of the place. In the case of Andy, he’s obsessed with the Colts. We realize a lot of us haven’t had a bachelor party, so the night turns into a bachelor party for all the guys and we end up going different places in Indiana to do what we would consider our perfect bachelor party. The show’s going to tell two different stories, and I’ll just tell you that hands down, the guys win. Somehow, between Ann and Chris, it turns into a competition. We’re giving Ben a bachelor party, and the girls are going to give Leslie a bachelorette party. So tell me about tonight’s episode - the Indianapolis Colts are involved?
