The ex-con and star of Parks and Recreation makes his Comedy Bang Bang debut this week and gives all you Parks and Rec die-hards a glimpse into the tear-jerking story of how Ron Swanson came to be. Also joining us is Paul Giamatti who trades audition and rejection stories with Nick. To put it simply: This episode is diminutive!
