"It's your fault!" Rob playfully jabbed when we met up with him at the Valspar Hands for Habitat charity event. "You ruined my neighborhood!"
Whoops. Our bad.
You fellow Parks and Recreation fans know Rob is all kinds of funny, which is why we love his response when asked what this napalm-less version of Apocalypse smelled like:
"Kim's perfume."
He wants us to know that yes, "there were about as many helicopters in my neighborhood as there was in Apocalypse Now." His sons also got a chance to run into Justin Bieber: "My kids saw the Biebs. They were really happy to see the Biebs. And I was like, I like that. It made everyone's day in sleepy little Santa Barbara."
Making Rob's day, no year, is the fact that Parks and Recreation has been nominated for an Outstanding Comedy Emmy, and he nods in agreement when we say P&R has eclipsed The Office and 30 Rock as the funniest show on television.
"Humbly, I think we deserve [the Emmy nomination]. I think it's the funniest show on TV. I really really do. We are four episodes into the new year. I'm sad to say my character is even more insane than he was last year. [Laughs.] I think people are going to dig it."
Rob also admits he wasn't quite sure how the fans would take to him as a new addition to the cast. "[Adam Scott and I] were worried about that because Parks and Rec has always had true, loyal die-hard fans. And any time you bring people in you never know how they are going to react. I think the writers did a really good job of it, creating a character that is unique—unlike any other character on television. And then to have me be able to play that was special I think for everybody, especially for me."
For the record, Rob also doesn't smell half-bad. Then again, maybe it was the lingering scent of Eau de Biebs-dashian.
