If you’re a fan of “Parks and Recreation,” you’d know there’s no better friendship than the one Leslie Knope has with Ron Swanson. The two are completely opposite characters with polar opposite personalities but somehow manage to have a sincerely genuine and beautiful friendship throughout the show. As it goes with many actors and celebrities who work together for an extended period of time, their friendship budded off-screen, as well. Both Offerman and Poehler remain great friends in real life. But, it’s been years since Parks and Rec was on TV, and many of us are just living through good old days via Netflix (since they haven’t taken it off, just yet). So, when they decided to host a brand new TV show together, fans began freaking out.
The show, which will air on NBC, is called “Making It,” and is a competition show that involves crafting, crafting, and more crafting. In the promo, Poehler and Offerman explain that the contestants will be painting, using fabric, wood, metals, and other items to “create beautiful things.” Each episode will have an individual theme. It’s seriously the most “Ron Swanson” show I could ever dream of since we all know how much Swanson loves making things out of wood–and, apparently, so does Offerman in real life. Also, also–can we talk about how smokin’ hot Offerman looks with a gray beard? (Not sorry).
The show hasn’t even aired yet, but fans are already looking forward to this like no other.
