"During the same episode of Comedy Bang Bang mentioned above, Scott Aukerman said that his wife Kulap Vilaysack (Childrens Hospital, Who Charted?) also tried out for a role on Parks and Rec. Aukerman remembers, “She auditioned for that show, as did a lot of people in the comedy scene when that show came out.” He doesn’t reveal which part she tried out for, but it was most likely either Rashida Jones or Aubrey Plaza’s characters." www.vulture.com/2013/03/the-lost-roles-of-parks-and-recreation.html

I used to be a Mod. I still know lots of old Mods and I can honestly say that their spelling and punctuation skills are terrible at the best of times, so I strongly advise AGAINST using Mods (and dirty , greasy Rockers too, they are worse) for writing subtitles... unless it's ME. I was thrown out of our local Mods gang because my writing was "too posh". I still don't know how they discovered that back then before "posting comments" and KZbin existed.

Love this show. As someone who lived in Indiana for several years, though, one thing that's always bugged me is that one episode where April decides to go to vet school and is applying to a program at IU Bloomington. IU doesn't actually have a vet school. It's Purdue that she would have needed to apply to. So I guess there's another fact for you.

101Facts I know!!! It would be so interesting!

[@rockroll3065]

Here’s my theory Rashida Jones player Karen P. on the Office in 2007-2008 (Season 3 timeline) and when Jim broke up with her she said she was going to Utica and then really moved to Pawnee, a town where no one would really no her and could start over and she changed her name to Anne Perkins to help her be disguised maybe also because the name Karen reminds her of Jim. And she becomes a nurse by the time she went to Pawnee she learned how to become a nurse and she pretended she had a degree in nursing so she started living in Pawnee and meets Andy as kinda of a comeback which explains why their relationship wasn’t that good because she wasn’t really trying and she becomes friends with Leslie quickly because she really needed someone to lean on after everything she been through. And when she started “dating around” in season 3 she was still kinda not over Jim and was trying to ease off the pain of Jim and Chris’ breakup. Then when she starts dating Chris and moves to Michigan because she must of told Leslie or Ron about her past, and it goes to show that she’s pretty private about her past because she rarely brings it up, and another reason she leaves Pawnee because she must of felt like everyone knew her secret or found out about her secret and Michigan is another place she can start over again, but u know she does get over Jim though Now u must be thinking, what about the time she was pregnant and married in “Lecture Circuit Part 1” from Season 5 of the Office, well she knew Michael and Pam were coming up and it could’ve been before she met Leslie because in the first episode of Parks and Rec she seemed kinda paranoid about something, and that was seeing Michael and Pam and hearing about Jim and that husband and pregnancy was fake and it was to show she didn’t need them anymore. And again there was “Branch Wars” in Season 4 with her at Utica again, she must of actually was the manager at Utica at one point and when she saw Jim and realized she was still working with paper sales she quit because it was too hard for her and that’s when she moved to start over
