Hey, what’s that smell? Oh, I know — it’s the ink drying on Will Arnett’s Parks and Recreation contract.
An NBC spokesperson confirms that Arnett will guest star opposite real-life wife, Amy Poehler, on her creatively-resurgent comedy in early 2010. He’ll play a possible suitor for Poehler’s character, Leslie.
Incidentally, Arnett appears in the same episode that marks the arrival of Justin Theroux, who also happens to be playing a love interest for Leslie. You know what I’m smelling now? Comedic fireworks!

Awesome!
THIS BETTER NOT BE AN ILLUSION!!!! Oh maybe he will bring Franklyn!!! How much fun would that be… I am seriously about to combust with so many AD lines!!!!
My friend and I were just discussing if he would be making an appearance! God I can’t wait!!! Parks and Rec has been top form this season!
Hahaha Franklin!!!
Best puppet/character ever!
It’s not easy being white..It’s not easy being brownnnnn! Having kids all over town…
Illusions, dad! Tricks are what a wh0re does for money.
….or cocaine!
“You’ve ruined the act GOB!”
“At least now you can take him to lunch at the club”
… or candy
They’ve got to seal the deal. I mean, deal the seal.
You have no idea how happy this makes me!!! If there is a battle of suitors, I hope he wins!!!YES!!!
Yay!! More guest appearances for P&R. I want this show to do so well, it has so much potential. Ppl just gotta give it a chance.
Yay! I have an unhealthy crush on Will! This doesn’t mean they are going to get rid of Louis C.K., does it? I love those two together. Damn you Gob! Homewrecker!
It is so funny because he is not a conventional good looking guy. When I tell all my loser friends (those who never watched AD) they are not impressed! Like I said loooserrr friends! LOL.
Hopefully he will circumvrent that other guy… but then again, how could Leslie turn down the guy in the $4,200 suit? Come on!
LOLOLOL!!! Love it!!
Yeah, sh- sh- sh- sh- sh- sh- sh- she’s gonna turn down the guy in the $6,300 suit. Come on!
You don’t tell me what kind of pizza to like!
If he can join this show, then why couldn’t he host SNL? That would have been too much fun.
These two have so much chemistry together its crazy. Love them.
Parks and Recreation has been on fire this season. I actually wish I had watched it last season just to get the proper introductions to the characters. I was hoping Will Arnett would come on the show and was afraid that maybe he was already on last season, so yay!!
As for romance, I admit I’m starting to want a Leslie/Andy romance. I know Andy’s immature, but he helps Leslie loosen up and shows her how to have fun.
Me too! They’re both so funny together!
AMAZING. I am so excited!
this is awesome news! parks and rec is one of my top 3 shows on tv right now, and will arnett is one of the funniest comedians! i hope he becomes a regular character, then parks would really be one of the best shows ever!
Awesome!!!
Suh-weet!
This is so awesome! I’m loving Parks and Recreation right now. This season it has given us some of the best comedy on TV. And Will Arnett only makes a good thing better (see 30 Rock). SO excited about this!
