In addition, several guest stars from the Pawnee universe may pop in. The story comes from the events of the day: Pawnee&#8217;s most dedicated civil servant, Leslie Knope, is determined to stay connected to her friends in a time of social distancing.<\/p>\n<p>The telecast was created to raise funds for Feeding America&#8217;s COVID-19 Response Fund, which will enable foodbanks to secure the resources they need to serve the most vulnerable members of the community during this difficult time.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money,&#8221; said executive producer Michael Schur. &#8220;I sent a hopeful email to the cast and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old <em>Parks and Rec<\/em> team has put together one more 30-minute slice of (quarantined) Pawnee life and we hope everyone enjoys it. And donates!&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;In such uncertain times, we can&#8217;t think of anyone better than Leslie Knope to unite our country with her unbridled enthusiasm and compassion,&#8221; said Lisa Katz and Tracey Pakosta, co-presidents of scripted programming at NBC Entertainment. &#8220;A huge thank you to Mike Schur and the cast of <em>Parks and Recreation<\/em> for putting this wonderful special together and bringing a smile to all our faces while raising money for such a worthwhile cause.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The original cast members of Parks and Recreation are reprising their characters from the hit comedy for NBC and Universal Television&#8217;s A Parks and Recreation Special, set to air April 30 at 8:30 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":350,"featured_media":9900,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[224,2003,344],"class_list":["post-9899","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-nbc","tag-parks-and-recreation","tag-universal-television"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 -
