On November 15th, Parks and Recreation's Leslie Knope is finally getting her wish and will meet her "ideal man," Joe Biden!

The re-elected Vice President of the United States is making a cameo appearance (above) in next week's episode of the NBC comedy that will take place in Washington D.C.

Executive producer Amy B. Harris screened the premiere episode at New York City's School of Visual Arts this week and said:
