Two ‘Parks and Recreation’ Co-Stars Have a Special in-Flight Reunion

Nick Offerman impersonated his 'Parks and Recreation' character to prank Jim O'Heir during a flight, surprising him with personalized safety announcements, fans saw in a viral video.

  • Earlier this week, Jim O'Heir shared a video on Instagram showing Nick Offerman pranking him on their flight, referencing their Parks and Recreation roles.
  • Offerman read the airline script in character, referencing the character Jerry Gergich and saying `And as I always say, don't half ass your safety, only whole ass` during the flight, O'Heir posted.
  • During descent, a flight attendant joined in on the joke, adding, `Please listen to him, even if you don’t listen to us`, after Offerman read the safety script and added jokes, O'Heir said.
  • O'Heir followed the prank by posting a selfie at the airport and praising Offerman on Instagram, as the clip extended their show's playful dynamic and entertained fans online.
  • The show's 2009–2015 run explains why the gag landed because Parks and Recreation featured an ensemble cast including Amy Poehler and Chris Pratt, giving the reunion broader appeal.
