Summary
Before Nick Offerman joins forces with his wife, Megan Mullally, to co-host the Independent Spirit Awards this Sunday, March 6th on IFC, the star of ‘Parks and Recreation’ and ‘Devs’ returns to the podcast to chat about what it takes to be a good award show host and what he makes of the Oscars’ oddly lax vaccination requirements. We also get into his incredible performance as a sleazeball pornographer on ‘Pam & Tommy’ and his latest venture into the world of Substack with “Donkey Thoughts.”

| 0:00.0 | This is the Last Laugh. I'm Matt Wilstein from The Daily Beast, and I am so excited to welcome back on the podcast today, one of my all-time favorite guests and just an all-around great guy, Nick Offerman. Nick, good to see you. |
| 0:18.8 | Hello. Thank you for having me back. Yeah, I'm really excited to have you back. |
| 0:22.6 | And I know you're deep in preparation for hosting the Indy Spirit Awards. |
| 0:27.6 | So I'm really curious to know how it's going so far. |
| 0:31.6 | It's going great. |
| 0:33.6 | The great advantage that I have in situations like this, when anyone asks me and my legendary bride, Megan Malalley, to do anything at all together. |
| 0:47.5 | She is, she's sort of like in the high school of life, she's a perpetual senior. |
| 0:55.1 | And I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, I'm, have made it to sophomore year, but, |

| 1:19.8 | And otherwise, Megan, who apologizes, she wanted to be here as well, but we actually had a boisterous night of lovemaking |
| 1:29.8 | last night. Oh, I'm glad to hear that. She's still resting, taking some fluids. But yeah, so I mean, |
| 1:37.6 | you know, it's so fun when in this crazy world of like unlimited content, you know, we both have all these plates spinning, |
| 1:48.1 | working on film, TV. She has a band. I have a wood shop. You know, I just published my fifth book, |
| 1:55.0 | et cetera. Yeah, you guys do it all. Well, we do have a lot of fun. And so when we get to just come together |
| 2:00.7 | like an old-fashioned showbiz couple and get on stage and tell some jokes, it's quite refreshing. |
| 2:07.8 | Do you have you been studying past award shows at all? Do you have some favorite moments or things that you're either trying to emulate or not emulate? |
| 2:17.4 | Yeah, the latter. |
