Adam Scott Shares Favorite ‘Parks and Recreation’ Scene

Adam Scott, known for his role as Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation, shared a favorite moment from the show that still makes him laugh. He recalled a hilarious scene from season 4 that had the entire cast in stitches during the table read.

In episode 11, titled “The Comeback Kid”, Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, organizes a promotional event at an ice skating rink with her department. Things quickly go awry as they navigate the slippery ice, falling and stumbling along the way. The scene is filled with comedic mishaps, including a dog peeing on the ice and an awkwardly long introduction with Gloria Estefan’s “Get on Your Feet” playing in the background. All these elements combined to create a memorable and side-splitting moment for the cast.

Reflecting on the experience, Adam Scott mentioned how the scene was so funny that they couldn’t contain their laughter even during the table read. He emphasized how the anticipation and execution of the scene made it even funnier than expected, making it one of the standout moments of the series.

While Scott’s character was absent from the chaotic ice skating event, he spent the episode focusing on claymation and dealing with a depressive episode. Scott also shared his excitement for the release of Severance season 2 and expressed gratitude for the overwhelming response from fans.

As for the future of Severance, Scott teased upcoming developments without giving away any specifics, hinting at exciting possibilities for the show. Parks and Recreation is currently available for streaming on Peacock, while Severance can be watched on Apple TV+.
