Who's Set To Play Tammy 1 On Parks And Rec??

Okay, so Ron Swanson wouldn’t be that excited for Tammy 1, considering he hates and fears his first ex-wife.

If you’re still not watching Parks and Recreation, we don’t know what’s wrong with you. But, if you ARE, then you know that Ron Swanson (played by the amazing Nick Offerman) has two ex-wives named Tammy, who are both terrible people. Megan Mullally plays Tammy 2, Ron’s second ex-wife (and his real wife!). We got a hint of Tammy 1 on the season finale back in May, but we have yet to see who will play her.

Are you dying to find out already?? Tammy 1 will be played by….

Patricia Clarkson!

Surprised? We were too, but you know what, we like it.

Executive producer Michael Schur spoke about it:

“We talked about pretty much every possible iteration of who she is and what her backstory is and all we knew is that we didn├óΓé¼Γäót want to do the same thing we did with Tammy 2. Tammy 1 is her own specific brand of demon. I think we came up with backstory for her that├óΓé¼Γäós both funny and illuminating and also answers all of the questions that you would have when seeing people├óΓé¼Γäós reactions to her presence in the finale.”

It sounds HIGHlarious already. We know the cast and crew will NOT disappoint this upcoming season. So, what do U think of the casting choice??
