Here's what you need to know about Nick Offerman.

He is both extremely talented and insanely humble.

Oh, and that giggle that he would sometimes let out on parksreation, that's his real laugh.

I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast, and on today's episode of The Last Laugh,

the man who brought Ron Swanson to life is here to share his story with you.

It would have been exciting to get Nick on this podcast anytime over the past year, but I am especially thrilled that he is here now because

I'm kind of obsessed with his latest show. On Devs, which is streaming in its entirety now

on FX on Hulu, Nick leaves his comedic persona behind to take on the deadly serious role

of Forrest, the enigmatic founder of a dystopian tech company called

Amaya. As Nick explains in this episode, it was his enormous, deep-set eyes that first convinced

creator Alex Garland that he could play a man who seems simultaneously evil and wholly sympathetic.

The show can be majorly disturbing, and Nick is fantastic on it.

Nick and I went deep on devs with pretty minimal spoilers, but if you're not caught up,

what are you waiting for?

Of course, we also spent a good amount of time talking about last month's Parks and Rec reunion special, which I still think is the most successful piece of quarantine content yet.

Before we get to our conversation, if you're enjoying this show, please let us know by leaving a rating and review on Apple Podcasts.

If you have ideas for guests you want to hear on the show

or questions you want me to ask comedians,

they just might end up on a future episode.
