The cast of 'Parks and Recreation' just treated us to a kick-ass reunion.
The Los Angeles Paley Centre yesterday held its annual Parley Festival, which celebrates television, radio and emerging communications platforms. And this year's festival was over-run with people from Pawnee.
That's right, the cast of 'Parks and Recreation' were in town. All of the actors appeared on stage to answer questions, and everyone was there - even Ann (Rashida Jones) and Chris (Rob Lowe).

But before they took to stage, the cast members have a brief chat on the red carpet, which dove straight into questions about a potential reboot/reunion. Amy Poehler spoke about Leslie Knope dealing with Trump would be all kinds of epic, let's be honest. But it's not about to happen... yet.

Nick Offerman said if a reunion show were to happen with a unique take on the characters, they'd "all come running."

The actor also offered his favourite Ron Swanson quote from the series. Of course, it involves meat.

When the cast took to the stage, classic Jerry didn't even have a seat.

Chris Pratt described Andy and April's relationship to a T.
Chris Pratt just described April and Andy on Parks and Rec as a cat and a dog, and I don't think I've ever heard anything truer in my life. #PaleyFest

About April and Andy’s relationship, Chris Pratt says he recalls the hunting episode and they had to stay back in the Parks department. “We got along like a cat and a dog.” Aubrey Plaza says, “It was my idea.” #parksandrec #PaleyFest

Creator Michael Schur said that one of the saddest moments of the series was when Ann and Chris left forever.
