You’ve seen the hilarious clips, now check out some interviews behind “The Set Up,” Parks and Recreation’s first new episode of 2010. It’s scheduled to air on January 14.
Will Arnett:
On October 25, Amy Poehler and Will Arnett’s baby boy, Archie, will celebrate his 1st birthday. To commemorate the occasion, Kyli (@AmyPoehlerFans), who runs an Amy Poehler fansite on MySpace, is making an Archie birthday video!
Here are the details:
I am making a birthday video consisting of videos from fans wishing Archie Happy Birthday. It will be his first birthday at the end of this month, but due to the overload at school, I don’t have much editing time and am going to try and get as many videos edited and done as soon before his birthday as possible. So, if anyone could make a short video (maximum 20 seconds), saying your name, where you are from, Happy Birthday, and any other additional messages, that would be great!
I will fuse all of the videos that are e-mailed to me at kyliwalls@aol.com into a mega-video that will be put on AmyFansUTube and sent directly to Amy.
That’s right, guys. Kyli will be sending the video to Amy! So, get working on your videos and e-mail them to Kyli. Amy and Will (and Archie, eventually!) will appreciate this special gift very much, so help out a fellow Parks and Recreation fan and Amy Poehler devotee.
Kyli did a similar thing a couple of weeks ago for Amy’s birthday on September 16. Here’s the video:
Will Arnett and Mitch Hurwitz of Arrested Development fame are partnering up with AD co-executive producer Jim Vallely for a live-action single camera comedy in which Arnett plays, well, a jackass.
What’s the premise? Arnett stars as a rich L.A. douche bag who falls in love with a tree-hugger who hates every shallow thing about him. In my opinion, Amy Poehler would have been perfect for the role. However, she of course is a bit tied up with Parks and Recreation (:

In this Funny or Die (UK) video, Will Arnett and Amy Poehler happen upon Peter Serafinowicz and Sarah Alexander.
Things… get… interesting.
