Adam Scott’s character Ben Wyatt on Parks and Recreation had an enduring love for calzones that still gets a nod from fans long after the show concluded. Scott himself finds the ongoing joke amusing, attributing it to the show’s co-creator Mike Schur. Even years after the show ended, whenever calzones come up in conversation or reference, Scott playfully reminds Schur of the lasting legacy of his character’s affinity for the cheesy pastries.
For Scott, the calzone connection feels like a full-circle experience, considering his earlier stint as a pizza delivery guy. While he finds it somewhat absurd, he doesn’t mind the association and sees it as a fun and light-hearted aspect of his interactions with fans. Embracing the humor it brings, Scott appreciates the playful banter and joy it sparks among fans, even if it means calzones might forever be linked to his public persona.
Reflecting on his time on Parks and Recreation, Scott fondly reminisces about the camaraderie among the cast and crew. Despite nearly a decade passing since the show ended, the bond remains strong, with regular communication among the cast. Scott cherishes the memories of working on the show and the unique camaraderie that existed on set, emphasizing the genuine enjoyment they all had.
With Amy Poehler expressing her readiness for a potential reboot of Parks and Recreation, the enduring love for the show among the cast and fans alike remains evident. While a reboot may be in the cards for the future, fans can currently relive the magic of Pawnee by streaming the entire series on Peacock, ensuring that the quirky and heartwarming adventures of the Parks and Recreation Department live on for years to come.
