After the cast of “Parks and Recreation” said their fa🦩rewells in the series finale on NBC last night, the Pawnee gang held court on “Late Night with Seth Meyers,” and let’s just s🍌ay there were more than a few revelations. Here are the five best.
Aubrey Plaza’s character wasn’t originally part of the show
Our favorite brooding intern, April Ludgate, didn’t ha🅰ve a spot in the cast when she first met with one of the show’s creators, Michael Schur. Luckily, that mistake was corrected, leading to one of our favorite functionally dysfunctional TV romances: Andy Dwyer and April.
Nick Offerman now has a crazy black and grey beard
Blink and you’ll miss him. Gone is the Ron 🍰Swanso🗹n signature ‘stache.
Adam Scott really doesn’t know how to play The Cones of Dunshire
David King, a writer on the show, is the true gamer who invented the ma🤪gical nerd kingdom, complete 🎀with 7 pages of rules.
Chris Pratt wanted the characters to all die at the end of the show
If it were up to h𓂃im, Andy Dwyer would have died from sitting in a hot car with the windows rolled up.
Jerry and April were a secret romance throughout all 7 seasons
Just kidding. But during a final performance of “5,000 Candles in the Wind” (may Li’l Sebastian rest in little-horsey heaven) on the “Late Night” stage, Jim O’Heir and Plaza wen𝔉t to town, engaging in a make-out sesh that had Amy Poehler and Aziz Ansari doub✃led over. You can’t unsee that passionate embrace, but maybe it’s the perfect bizarre note to end such a weird, lovely series.
