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.
While we think it would be pretty hard to book the VP of the nation, executive producer Michael Schur says it was “so much less difficult than we ever possibly imagined” and continued:
“His staff really loves the show, and he apparently had watched the show with his family and his family liked it … The hardest part was keeping it secret for so long because there├óΓé¼Γäós all these FEC rules and equal-time rules. We couldn├óΓé¼Γäót air it before the election because it was the equivalent of a campaign contribution to advertise for one candidate.├óΓé¼┬¥
Given how many times Amy Poehler‘s adorable character has mentioned her admiration (mostly physical) for Biden, it’s no surprise that we’ll be seeing her get “really giggly and goofy around him.”
To get an idea of how important this meeting is to Knope, watch her explain her obsession (below)!
