Loved him in Scrubs--for me he was the best part about this new season (along with "Jo" the intern). In fact I never knew who he was, yet had heard of him. He lived up to the hype, and I'm definitely looking forward to Parks and Recreation.

Looking forward to this show as well. I think sarcasm can be hard to pickup in "type" at times, but this guy is just damn funny.

This guy is freakin' funny! Great interview, Mike. Now I actually have some interest in watching P&R; the commercials weren't doing it for me. I, too, loved him in FOTC.
