Parks and Rec Alum Nick Offerman to Appear on Amy Poehler's Hit Podcast

Nick Offerman, the acclaimed actor known for his role as Ron Swanson on the beloved sitcom Parks and Recreation, is set to make an appearance on his former co-star Amy Poehler's hit podcast "Good Hang." According to the article, Offerman is already scheduled to record his episode, although he admits to feeling a bit "daunted" about being interviewed by Poehler, whom he describes as being like a "sister" to him.

Offerman's upcoming podcast appearance is just one of the notable events in the actor's life as of November 2025. The 55-year-old has also been starring in the new Netflix miniseries "Death by Lightning," which explores the presidency and assassination of James Garfield. For the role, Offerman underwent a physical transformation, gaining 20 pounds and wearing an "incredible fat suit" to capture the look of his character, Vice President Chester Arthur.

In a heartwarming moment, Offerman recently surprised his former Parks and Recreation co-star Jim O'Heir during a flight to Minneapolis. Offerman took over the plane's PA system to read a script provided by the airline, delighting O'Heir, who plays the lovable character Jerry Gergich on the show. The two actors have maintained a close friendship since their time on the beloved sitcom, which ran for seven seasons from 2009 to 2015.
