About this book
“Filled with hilarious stories and sweet observations, Welcome to Pawnee is a book for any Parks and Rec fan. It’s funny and straight from the heart. Jim did a great job of not Jerry-ing this book.” — Amy Poehler
"There is no one more qualified to write the definitive Parks & Rec book than the unbelievably hilarious, one-of-a-kind talent we all know & love: Tim—I mean Jim—O’Heir.” — Adam Scott
Jim O’Heir, who played Jerry (or Garry or Larry) on Parks and Recreation brings fans a heartfelt look at one of America’s most beloved sitcoms, brimming with never-before-told stories featuring the cast and crew, along with dozens of unseen photos!
For seven seasons, Leslie Knope and the Parks and Recreation gang charmed millions of viewers with their quirky antics and unwavering positivity. The sitcom continues to be a fan-favorite for streaming services today, nearly a decade after its finale. Now for the first time, Jim O’Heir, who played the lovable Jerry (or, well, Garry/Larry/Terry/Barry, depending on the episode), invites readers back to Pawnee for an exclusive look behind the scenes.
Joined by his Parks and Rec pals, including Chris Pratt, Retta, Rob Lowe, and showrunners Greg Daniels and Mike Schur, Jim reveals how this “little show that could” came to be, thanks to the tireless dedication and comedic genius of Amy Poehler, Nick Offerman, and the rest of the gang. As the show found its footing, the cast quickly bonded into a tight-knit family. Jim shares all his favorite unforgettable memories both on and off camera, from hilarious unscripted moments and epic dance-offs in the hair and makeup trailers, to iconic birthday parties at Rashida Jones’s house and quiet bonfires in Nick Offerman’s backyard.
Welcome to Pawnee is a loving tribute to Parks and Recreation, imbued with the same warmth and humor that endeared the show to millions.
"An incredible book that shares a behind-the-scenes look from our time on set! You're going to love it; Jim shares so many memories that I hold near and dear to my heart." — Chris Pratt
?“This book is full of lies. Only the Dark Lord himself knows the truth about Pawnee. Do not trust Jerry.” — Aubrey Plaza
