'Parks and Rec' Cast Brings Laughs to Paleyfest

When you're hosting a Paleyfest panel featuring the stars of NBC series Parks and Recreation , hosted by Patton Oswalt, in an auditorium full of fans, shenanigans are bound to happen. Maybe even a little bit of tomfoolery. One thing is for sure: laughter was in no short order as Amy Poehler and Co. discussed their little show that could. Poehler, series creator Mike Schur, and stars Chris Pratt, Aubrey Plaza, Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Retta, Jim O'Heir, Ben Schwartz, and newcomer/ Billy on The Street host Billy Eichner were all bordering on verklempt thanks to the size of the Dolby Theater and the audience there to see them (it was straight-up aww-shucksy in its adorableness), making the 2-hour panel equal parts endearing and comedic nuttery — much like the show itself.

And while there were other moments that cannot be contained in a quote — one highlight being a supremely enthusiastic and excitable young redhead boy who will likely end up on the show at some point in the future. (Seriously.) — we're hopeful that we can convey what a non-stop hilarifest the whole thing was.
