Nick Offerman Quashes ‘Parks And Recreation’ Fan Theory That Leslie Becomes President
When NBC’s Parks and Recreation concluded in 2015, many fans were left comforted by the assumption that its lead protagonist Leslie Knope (Amy Poehler) had become president of the United States. However, Poehler’s co-star Nick Offerman, who played Ron Swanson in the acclaimed comedy has seemingly quashed any hopes that Leslie made it to the White House.
In what appeared to be the perfect ending to the upbeat sitcom, the series finale features a brief scene with Leslie and her husband Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott), surrounded by their Secret Service agents. Whilst it was never explicitly stated that Leslie had become president, her consistent references to one day reaching the White House throughout the show’s seven-season run and the presence of the aforementioned Secret Service agents suggest that she ultimately achieved her goal.
