The end of season 3,
we had a lot of cliffhangers.
Leslie is approched by this group of people
who recommand that she runs for office.
Are you theoretically interested in running for office?
Absotootly, I am.
Very sorry that I just used that word.
Where we left off,
Ben and Leslie finally got together.
But then, there was kind of this cliffhanger
where she has to choose between her career and a relationship
with Ben, with my character.
Is there a scandal out there ? Is there anything at all ?
You need to tell us about your life.
No!
So we have to find out if she's gonna run,
will they stay together, will they break up, will there be a scandal ?
Last season, Ron had his face
blown up by a fireball.
Guess I put to much fuel in the torch.
Oh I don't know Jerry, I think you're being hard on yourself.
Suddenly, at the very end of the finale:
Your ex-wife is back!
- No kidding, Donna. - Not her.
The other ex-wife.
Tammy 1.
She's in your office.
Tammy 1 and Tammy 2 could not be more... huh... different.
Tammy 2, played by my wife Megan,
is a raging hellcat,
who uses her sexual lies to control Ron.
Tammy 1 is icecold,
dangerous,
steely and huh...
maternal.
- Tammy 1! - Oh my god it's very exciting.
I think that I'm terrified of her, and I think that Ron is also terrified of her.
And Tammy 1 is played by Patricia Clarkson,
she comes in and she, huh,
pushes Ron around in a way we have not seen before.
It's the creepiest thing that's happened to Ron.
And I mean, we've seen Ron in cornrows.
It's been kind of a crazy night.
Patricia Clarkson's playing Tammy 1.
She's frightening.
We're all walking around here trying to get a glimpse of her as Tammy 1.
I'm not even in any scenes with her.
But I'm pretending that I am.
Aaaand... Tammy 0.
His mother, also, Tamara
goes by Tammy and these three women have,
really shaped who he is.
All three Tammys on set.
All of them are... so funny.
Certain things are gonna be hitting the proverbial fan.
We're just happy to be back shooting, and excited about this next season
and all the good stuff that's coming down the road.
Season 4 will be a lot of characters having to make a lot of big choices.
It's been a wild ride.
We've got a really impressive group of writers, and they worked their asses off.
And a great cast, other than Retta it's really enjoyable.
Please don't edit that out.
The writers are really firing out of all cylinders, and it's
really exciting to feel like we're still ascending
the comedy mountain.
That's the kind of poetry you can look forward to in season 4
of Parks and Recreation.
I don't know what's gonna happen next.
