My guest is Nick Offerman.
His new TV show is called Margo's Got Money Troubles.
We'll be back after a short break.
I'm Anne-Marie Baldonado, and this is Fresh Air.
Now, many listeners will know you from your role as Ron Swanson in the show Parks and Recreation.
I want to play a quick scene from the show, one that shows Ron being Ron.
Here's Ron turning a wall sconce into wedding rings for the characters Leslie and Ben.
That's a scene from Parks and Recreation.
You play a beloved character.
Can you tell the story of how you got the part of Ron?
Oh, it must have been heartbreaking.
I want to play a scene from this series finale, perhaps one of the best series finales of all time.
Your character, Ron, has told Leslie, played by Amy Poehler, that he wants to find a new job.
And Leslie is one of the people that knows him well enough to help him figure it out.
Here's Ron meeting Leslie at a national park that Leslie established.
That's a scene from the series finale of Parks and Recreation.
Of course, we had to cut it off before Ron goes out in the canoe, which is always gets me a little bit teary.
