This 'Parks and Rec 'character is Adam Scott's pick to get a spinoff: 'I'd like to see how that worked out'
Scott says he'd love to see if "there were any scandals" with this fan-favorite character, "or if he was able to keep his powder dry." Everyone else is doing it, so why can't Parks and Recreation have a reboot? While various members of the Parks cast and crew have expressed their interest in a reboot, revival, or some kind of return to the beloved fictional town of Pawnee, Ind., no formal plans have yet materialized. But the powers that be likely haven't heard star Adam Scott's bright idea. Scott sits down with Entertainment Weekly Editorial Director Gerrad Hall on this week's episode of EW's Awardist podcast to discuss his freshly Emmy-nominated performance in the Apple TV+ thriller series Severance. Noting that The Office, the mockumentary series that informally spawned Parks, is getting its own spinoff called The Paper, Hall asks Scott, "Of the Parks and Rec characters, is there one specifically you would love to catch up with now, see where they're working, find out what they're doing?" Scott responds without hesitation, and his pick might surprise loyal Parks fans. "Probably Jerry [Jim O'Heir]," Scott replies. "I think because when we left the show, he was mayor, still, of Pawnee. I'd like to see how that worked out, if there were any scandals or if he was able to keep his powder dry and run the town in the way we know it should be run." Indeed, when Parks and Rec wrapped up its seventh and final season in 2015, viewers didn't have to guess where all their favorite characters would end up. The series informed them — Six Feet Under style, but without all the doom and gloom — by flashing into the future and offering closure for each beloved alum of the Pawnee Parks Department. O'Heir's Garry Gergich, mean-spiritedly referred to as "Jerry" throughout most of the series, is Parks' perpetual underdog — overlooked, undervalued, and even mocked for his enduringly sunny outlook. Which is what makes the great fortune bestowed upon him by the Parks finale so sweet. The character is elected mayor of Pawnee in a write-in campaign coup, a position he happily holds until his 100th birthday. "I don't know how my life could get any better than this," he tells Amy Poehler's Leslie Knope in one of their final scenes together. "I feel like Jerry would've done a terrific job," Scott continues, and adds one more idea to boot. "I think also Tom would be a good one to check in with, find out what's going on with Tom, with [Aziz Ansari's] character," he says. Similarly to Garry/Jerry, Ansari's Tom Haverford finds a happy ending in the Parks finale, though one that doesn't come without its hitches, meaning it could make for great spinoff fodder. , On the finale episode "One Last Ride," Tom continues to operate his "classy, authentic" restaurant, Tom's Bistro, which has become the most successful chophouse in Pawnee. However, an economic recession throws open a money pit that pulls Tom's Bistro. But with the help of new wife Lucy (Natalie Morales), Tom writes a bestselling book, which he naturally parlays into a lucrative motivational speaking gig. Tom and Garry/Jerry are prime candidates for a Parks spinoff, and in 2022, one of the series' most key players signaled her openness for more. Poehler, who also produced the series, said she was "always standing by" for a Parks reboot. "Anytime anybody gives me the word, and I'm down."

Charli xcx Strips to Her Underwear & Vandalizes Her Own Billboard in ‘Party 4 U' Music Video
Charli xcx is a party of one in her new music video for 'Party 4 U,' which finds the star revisiting a fan-favorite track from 2020 while spending a day by herself in the middle of nowhere before things get wildly out of control. In the visual released Thursday (May 15) — the five-year anniversary date of Charli's How I'm Feeling Now album, which features 'Party 4 U' — the Essex native starts out inside a house on the morning after a big blowout, with empty bottles, balloons and an abandoned birthday cake strewn around the rooms. She steps out in a polka-dot dress, occasionally dragging on a cigarette, while walking down a sun-bleached blacktop road out in the country, eventually deciding to strip her clothes off and make the rest of the trek in her white bra and underwear.

After tearing up the enormous poster's canvas with her hands and splashing black paint across her own enlarged face, she lights it on fire and walks away as flames burn down the advertisement. 'Only threw this party for you, for you, for you/ I was hoping you would come through,' she sings on the emotionally charged electronic pop track. 'I'm about to party on you/ Watch me, watch me party on you.' The visual comes a full half-decade after Charli originally released 'Party 4 U' and How I'm Feeling Now in 2020. Five years later — and only after she experienced a career breakthrough in 2024 with critically acclaimed album Brat — the track has seen a streaming resurgence thanks to newfound TikTok virality, debuting on the Billboard Hot 100 for the first time in May. To make the most of the song's unexpected renaissance, and to celebrate the anniversary of her fourth studio album, Charli teamed up with director Mitch Ryan to shoot a music video for 'Party 4 U' 'I really can't believe that 5 years later one of the Angel favorites is having its own special moment,' she explained in a handwritten letter on Instagram teasing the visual one day prior. 'So obviously I wanted to do something to celebrate … This one's for you Angels.' Watch Charli's 'Party 4 U' music video above.
