Nick Offerman Gets Down to Earth

For Hollywood stars, there might be nothing harder than staying grounded. Just ask Nick Offerman, who became famous for his portrayal of Ron Swanson on the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation. Ever since, Offerman, who was raised on a pig farm in rural Illinois, has strived to stay connected to his roots. He does this through woodworking (he crafts a mean canoe), seeking out discomfort (hiking in the cold, laboring on a sheep farm in England), and reading foundational environmental writers like Wendell Berry and Aldo Leopold. He captures all of that in his new book, Where the Deer and the Antelope Play: The Pastoral Observations of One Ignorant American Who Loves to Walk Outside. In this episode, Offerman shares stories from his pursuit of a humbler life and offers up some choice lessons for making a deeper connection with the world beyond your door.

It’s Time to Give Nick Offerman (‘Parks and Recreation’) His Flowers

These days Nick Offerman appears to be one of the few remaining men who enjoys “making things rather than destroying things.” Career-best performances, best-selling books, a wooden, cedar-strip canoe built out of his Los Angeles Offerman Woodshop. Nick does what he can (and then some). He joins us this week on the heels of his double Emmy nominations to talk through his emotionally complex performance in Margo’s Got Money Troubles, its connection to his past (8:48), and the range of projects born from his tendency to keep busy (13:10). Then, we turn to the words of the late, beloved poet Wendell Berry (15:35), Offerman’s rural upbringing in Illinois (16:45), and his timely role in the crime thriller Sovereign (26:55) On the back-half, we talk about masculinity in America (30:35), Ben Shapiro’s vexing response to Offerman’s Emmy-winning turn in The Last of Us (40:52), what Parks and Recreation symbolizes to its fans, new and old (56:00), and why he believes “if you can finish your day having offered more flowers than you’ve stepped on… that’s a good goal” (1:05:40).

Pete Hegseth Purges Weirdos and Wimps & Trump Drops a New Hispanic Stereotype | John Wilson

Jordan Klepper gets into the headlines: Famously pro-Hispanic President Trump hosts a Hispanic Heritage Month event at the White House, and even invents a new stereotype to honor the occasion! Pete Hegseth purges the U.S. military's “beardos, weirdos, wimps, and radicals,” which has us wondering where that leaves… most of his fellow cabinet members. Plus, Josh Johnson comes to us live from the Pentagon with exciting updates from Hegseth’s star-studded team tasked with studying the future of warfare. In this installment of In My Opinion, Nick Offerman dives into Gen Z's technology problem, as young people are now spending over six hours a day on their phones and having less sex than previous generations. But Offerman is happy to report that they’ve found a simple, low-tech antidote to this technological albatross: hobbies! From pottery to birdwatching to collecting miniatures, Gen Z is leaning into the joy of hobbies as a respite from a tech world supercharged by AI. And as one of America's premier hobbyists, Offerman couldn't be prouder. John Wilson joins Jordan to discuss his new documentary, “The History of Concrete.” The creator of “How To with John Wilson” shares how he finds beauty in the mundane through his unique shooting and editing style, how he scored an uninterrupted shot of Kim Kardashian at a fancy dinner party, and what happens when you spend your entire film budget on a creepy wax museum in Rome. Jordan also pitches an idea for Wilson’s next documentary project. -- To get simple, online access to personalized, affordable care for ED, Hair Loss, Weight Loss, and more, visit https://Hims.com/dailyshow -- The Daily Show airs weeknights at 11/10c on Comedy Central.

Megan Mullally & Nick Offerman Watch My So-Called Life

Primetime TV’s favorite couple Megan Mullally (Will & Grace, Children’s Hospital) and Nick Offerman (The Great North, Parks and Recreation) dig up their flannel to watch MY SO-CALLED LIFE. The series may have only lasted one season, but we can’t help but wonder how Karen Walker and Ron Swanson would handle so much teenage angst should they have been a part of this ’90s cult classic.

Nick Offerman (‘Civil War’) Brings a Message of Hope

Today, actor and author Nick Offerman returns to the show! We call him up to unpack his latest role as a fictional president in Alex Garland’s Civil War (2:30), the function of the film’s politics (9:30), and a powerful poem by Wendell Berry (26:15). Then, we turn to Offerman’s personal journey, beginning with his recent book Where the Deer and the Antelope Play (32:48), which was inspired by growing up in rural Minooka, Illinois (33:30) and his experiences with the late Sam Shepard at Steppenwolf Theatre (35:55). Shortly after working with Shepard, Offerman began to find his footing—on and off the stage—as a performer, carpenter, and fight choreographer (39:48). He reflects on his galvanizing role in the film Going All the Way (42:37), the guiding principles of George Saunders (45:30), lessons from his sensei Shōzō Satō (52:10), the start of his nearly two-decade marriage with actress Megan Mullally (54:05), the phone call that changed his life (1:00:00), and the complicated legacy of Ron Swanson from Parks and Recreation (1:06:36). Then, before we go, we return to the timely (and urgent) message of his latest book (1:11:30), a piece by Jeff Tweedy (1:14:10), and words by Wendell Berry (1:16:45).
