Nick Offerman's radical transformation leaves him unrecognizable

Hiking with Kevin host, Kevin Nealon, perambulates a Los Angeles canyon with Parks and Rec Nick Offerman. Nick chats about his latest book, his character Ron Swanson from Parks and Rec, woodworking, rope knots, his hometown of Minooka, IL, his Emmy winning role in The Last of Us, nipple rings plus more.

It would make my day if I was hiking on a trail past Nick Offerman and hear him simply say "Good Morning".

[@Terry-lh8cn]

Such a great voice

There is a giant hole in the Universe since Parks And Rec ended. Loved the show. Loved the entire cast. Loved the writing and filming. Mr. Offerman's performance in "The Last Of Us" was fantastic, and I wish we'd have had more of it! Thank you gentlemen, this was a beauty!

[@amandao.8043]

Parks and Rec is on Peacock app but behind the paywall now (boo, used to be free).

Same! 😂😂😂

I thought they were fighting eachother lol

[@PC-vg8vn]

come on, obviously staged!

[@OswaldPHaygood]

I loved the couple that are going nuts in the background at the 12:39 mark. I wish I knew what they were saying. I'm guessing, "THAT WAS RON SWANSON! THAT WAS RON SWANSON! THAT WAS RON SWANSON!"

[@austinado16]

"NO IT'S NOT! THAT WAS THE GUY WHO PLAYS THE MANDALORIAN. YOU KNOW, WHAT'S-HIS-NAME! OR GEORGE CLOONEY'S COUSIN, "BOB."

[@petecartwright5211]

This was a great one. The little dance at the creek was hilarious. Well done....

[@T_MusicLover_H]

Don't know if you read the comments Kevin but I just watched a clip today of you on the Norm Macdonald show taking a call from Super Dave Osborne nothing better than seeing you and Norm Macdonald laughing in that video❤❤ PS. These hike videos are great!

[@david_4739]

Kevin's appearance on Norm's show was one of the best episodes. Super Dave's too. If only Norm was around to come on Kevin's show - that would be hilarious. He'd hate the hiking!

[@steadysunrise2590]

I didnt even know he was sick❤

Imagine just going for a hike and these two guys walk past you on the trail. 😂❤

That's kind of easy to do... but imagine just going for a hike and seeing *you* walk past you on the trail. Now, _that'd_ be something...

[@nevar108]

I am a bit of an Offerman fanboy... Which brought this video into my recommended. As a result Kevin, you are a new sub for me. This is a brilliant concept going for a hike while doing an interview. Now time to dive into the back catalog and anticipate the future content.

[@marca5883]

[@CarlJWFisher]

Nick's look on Parks and Rec always reminded me of a stern Robert Goulet. Like if Goulet was always upset about something.

another great hike....Nick makes for a great interview

[@Ryotsu2112]

Love Nick’s Partridge Family shirt. That’s an old, deep cut.

My first “exposure” to Nick Offerman was his short role in “Deadwood.” Scarred me for life.

[@claire-christmas-august73]

[@love3V07]

What a treat! ...listening to audiobook doing jigsaw puzzles. Great idea!

[@steveblixt9437]

Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally have had a successful loving relationship since 2000 and as his comments during the hike show, he really loves her. But some of my favorite episodes of Parks and Rec were when Megan shows up as Ron's ex-wife and is the devil incarnate and he cannot resist her deepest unholy wiles. Hilarious.

[@quads4life1]

Offermans character in parks and rec, is the reason I am a fan of the show. Kevin, you hike the most beautiful trails. Northwest Indiana has nothing like that. Thanks for the drone footage!

[@brandonlantier]

Nick is a man I would love to have a glass of whiskey with and talk shop about literally anything, not a Parks and Rec fan but I am a Ron Swanson fan, may sound weird but never could get into the show but will watch clips of him owning that mustache.

[@mysteriousplankton]

Another great day with the best Walk Show host.

[@noisepuppet]

Other interview shows lack the hiking element, which I never realized was crucial until this show came along.

[@thescoobymike]

I finally finished watching Parks and Rec last night so this is very fitting!

[@johnsilva9139]

"Hiking With Kevin" is always good fun, but I wish he would let us know where exactly these hikes take place. The next time I visit L.A. I'd like to hike some of these trails.

[@caffeineadvocate]

the rope tie speed up in editing was everything..

[@katiee263]

I’m not much of a knot person - at least I don’t remember the things I tried to teach myself in the 80s. Not to bore anybody too much by asking, but what kind of hitch was that? A halter or some kind of mooring hitch? Was it even a hitch? Went by too fast to see. Now I have an impulse to go find a rope and dad’s old book of knots.
