Here’s an interview Amanda McCall and I did for Newsweek about our new baby animal book- Maybe Your Leg Will Grow Back!: Looking on the Bright Side with Baby Animals- which is in bookstores right now!
Friend of Newsweek tumblr Amanda McCall (The Wendy Williams Show) and Parks and Recreation funny-guy Ben Schwartz (Jean-Ralphio!) have a new book out this week, Looking on the Bright Side with Baby Animals, which is a follow up to their second book, Asking Awkward Questions with Baby Animals, which followed their first best-seller, Breaking Bad News with Baby Animals, all of which we have long fantasized about plastering all over the office doors of high-level Newsweek executives. Anyway: we asked them to answer some of our burning questions about baby animals, because, well, we think they’re funny. Also, because Amanda once wrote a book called, “Hold My Gold: A White Girl’s Guide to the Hip-Hop.” Please love them.
NWK Tumblr: Do you really think our leg will grow back?
Ben: Well, that’s the best part of our new book. It prevents you from ever having to ‘think’ about things like that. In fact, it prevents you from having to think about anything at all!Is there a particular baby animal that’s best for breaking bad news?
Amanda: When we started writing our first book, and even into our second book, we thought all baby animals were equally helpful. But now we know that every baby animal has its own particular skill set.Ben: For example, kittens are good for relationship problems, while puppies are better for medical emergencies. For crime and other legal matters? Baby bunnies. God, they’re good.
Could your new book help Barack Obama handle the economy?
Amanda: If Obama used baby animal postcards in all his negotiations, every American citizen would have free healthcare and drive a Bentley.Who would i give this book to as a gift?
Amanda: Our books are for everyone. Even Kardashians. In fact, I’m convinced that if this book came out a month earlier, Kim and Kris would still be together.What’s the most over-rated animal?
Ben: Humans.
Amanda: Well, between us, cute little baby bears can be real divas.
Jean-Ralphio/Tom Haverford Extended Scenes from Last Night’s End of the World Episode
Last night’s End of the World Parks and Rec episode was so fun and chock full of amazing. I loved all three story lines but a lot of the scenes had to get trimmed down majorly to fit within the 22 minutes they allow on the air.
In an exciting turn of events, the wonderful people at Parks just released an extended producer’s cut and included six additional minutes of amazing that there wasn’t enough time for last night. So, here are all the Jean-Ralphio/Tom Haverford/Entertainment 720 extended scenes from last night. Some really fun stuff in here which never made it to air in last night’s episode. Enjoy and RIP Entertainment 720.
