And so...
rhinestone cowboy at the hollywood bowl is not something we would immediately say yes please uh wrap us up in a blanket give us something to drink and uh let us be kissing by the end of that song but i understand your first makeout session was to the great beck song beautiful way so you guys have range you have range
Megan is like a musical encyclopedia.
I mean, her amazing band, Nancy and Beth, covers everything from the Mills Brothers.
She does a vocal interpretation of the Dying Swan from the ballet Swan Lake, all the way to like completely modern Rufus Wainwright song or Randy Newman songs, Patty Griffin songs.
There's no rhyme or reason to the eclectic choices she covers.
I also love music, but I've benefited greatly from her acumen.
You almost got a part on Will and Grace that ultimately went to Woody Harrelson, and you also auditioned for the role of Michael Scott in The Office.
You didn't get either, but your audition created the seed for the casting director that became your character, Ron Swanson, in Parks and Rec.
And is it true that when you got the call from your producer, Mike Schur, you sobbed for 30 minutes upon hearing you got the role?
I mean, 30 minutes might be, it may have been more like 28 minutes.
Professionally, it was all of the parts that I didn't get for so many years.
paid off so powerfully with such an emotional catharsis because all of those other roles weren't right.
It would have been wonderful to get a cool part on a show, but we've seen the examples you've cited.
The reason I didn't get the roles is because they were better people.
Finally, the role found me that no one ostensibly could have done better.
So life clicked in for me at age 38, I think I was.
It was like the end of the Lord of the Rings or something where I was like, oh, my God, it all makes sense.
Everything Gandalf ever said to me suddenly hit home.
And so I had a very emotional, gratitude-filled reaction.
