Parks and Rec Stars Detail the Fake TV Show They Pretended They Were on When Filming the NBC Sitcom

Parks and Rec star Amy Poehler breaks down the truth about the cast’s fictional series – Philly Justice.

Per Entertainment Weekly, Poehler opened up about the truth behind Philly Justice on the latest episode of her Good Hang podcast. “We pretended we were on a fake TV show in the ’90s called Philly Justice — or the early 2000s — and we all crossed our arms,” Poehler recalled. “Then that became a text chain as the actors.”

Kathryn Hahn, who appeared as a guest star in ten episodes of Parcs and Rec, added, “We had, like, businessy outfits on. I think we were going to court or something. So all of us had very businessy [looks]. And I don’t know whose idea it was, but we were all in kind of staggered stairs and what looked like the front of like a very … a courthouse.” Hahn went on to recall how the cast’s in-joke quickly led to a text chain in which they role-played as would-be Philly Justice stars, asking each other questions such as, “Is the pilot gonna be picked?” Hahn explained, “Like, we were all very excited. It was like a David Kelly-esque show, so there was some cache to it. It wasn’t like a s—-y show.”

It was like a David Kelly-esque show.

Created by Greg Daniels and Michael Schur, Parks and Recreation (or more simply Parks and Rec) premiered on NBC back in 2009 and immediately established itself as a veritable pop culture sensation. The series starred Poehler as Leslie Knope, the wide-eyed deputy director of the Parks and Recreation Department of the fictional Indiana town of Pawnee. The series featured a star-studded ensemble cast including Rashida Jones as Ann Perkins, Adam Scott as Ben Wyatt, and Nick Offerman in the iconic role of Ron Swanson. Parks and Rec ran for 126 episodes across seven seasons, and in that time amassed over a dozen major industry awards including the 2012 Peabody Award, not to mention dozens of nominations.

Adam Scott Recently Recalled 1 of His Favorite Scenes

Parks and Rec star Adam Scott, who currently leads Ben Stiller’s Severance on Apple TV+, recently discussed one of his favorite moments from the series, which just so happens to be a scene that he is nowhere to be seen in. Scott recalled the episode “The Comeback Kid” from Parks and Rec Season 4, in which his character is working through a personal crisis by obsessing over the infinite possibilities offered through the art of claymation. While Scott’s Ben Wyatt is spiraling further into his creative endeavors, “Lesie and Ron and everybody are out at the skating rink, and they have to move across the rink, and it’s super slippery,” Scott said. He went on to recall the cast’s uproarious reaction to the script during the table read for the episode, and even went on to call it one of the series’ “great scenes.”

Parks and Rec is currently available for streaming on Prime Video.
