Amy Poehler Announces That She Wants Bill Murray to Guest Star on 'Parks & Recreation - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Brian Damage · 03-17-2011, 09:59 PM

The inimitable Amy Poehler stopped by her old SNL castmate Jimmy Fallon’s show last night to chat about everything from her hilarious NBC sitcom — EW even got a shoutout for our Parks and Rec cover! — to Will Forte’s neck beard. While there, she also revealed a tidbit of information that might just cause an Internet explosion: She wants Bill Murray to guest-star on the show as Pawnee’s much-discussed but never seen Mayor Gunderson. Because the comedy legend is notoriously elusive, Poehler took this opportunity to address him directly, saying, “Bill Murray, if you’re listening, I will pay you $250 to do one episode of my show.” Who could turn down such a generous offer?

I, for one, certainly hope Bill happened to be watching Late Night on Wednesday; he’d be great guesting on any show, but I have a feeling he’d fit in particularly well on a quirky gem like Parks and Rec.

Bill Murray does not have an agent or a professional handler perse. If you want him on your show or movie, you have to have his cell phone number and find him on a golf course.

I haven't seen Bill Murray do any series television, ever. After SNL, straight movies. I also think the guy has enough money to where he does not have to work and only does work in stuff that he is interested in doing. He also may never want to be on NBC again.

Murray would be perfect for Parks and Recreation.

I hope Amy makes this happen.
