So Joe Biden‘s riding pretty high right not, huh? He was elected to a second term as Vice President, he beat out the disturbingly hot Paul Ryan, and now he’s set to make an appearance on Parks and Recreation, which I think means Joe is now the luckiest person in the entire world. EW reports …
Once the producers committed to shooting an episode in D.C., the process of landing Biden was “so much less difficult than we ever possibly imagined,” says Schur, noting: “His staff really loves the show, and he apparently had watched the show with his family and his family liked it… The hardest part was keeping it secret for so long because there’s all these FEC rules and equal-time rules. We couldn’t air it before the election because it was the equivalent of a campaign contribution to advertise for one candidate.”
Really? Because John McCain, Olympia Snowe, and Barbara Boxer all made appearances on the show, so the show has been pretty good about going back and forth between party lines. But who cares about politics? The show’s funny as hell and that’s all that really matters.
