Leslie, not wanting to lose her spiritual mentor and boss, has no choice but to enter the drink-off herself.

She decides to settle Ron’s future by challenging Tammy 1 to see who can drink more of the Swanson family mash liquor, holding up a homemade jug of booze that April says “smells like jet fuel.” Tammy 0 reveals that, if she wins, Ron will have to return to the family farm with her.

Tammy 0 (played by former SNL head writer Paula Pell, who is right around Nick Offerman’s age but wears quite a bit of makeup for this role) is exactly the kind of gun-toting lunatic you’d expect to be Ron Swanson’s mother. Andy comes up with the brilliant idea of bringing in Tammy 0: Ron Swanson’s mother. As Leslie puts it, “In order to beat Mothra, we need Godzilla.” They quickly realize that even Tammy 2 is powerless to Tammy 1, who was also her Sunday school teacher. To win Ron back from Tammy 1, Leslie and company turn to his other ex, Tammy 2. The strange, clean-cut geek Ron becomes when he’s under Tammy 1’s spell is a version of him we haven’t seen yet on the show, and it was a delight seeing Nick Offerman sink his teeth into a new shade of Ron. In barely any time at all, she moves in with Ron, convinces him to add her onto his bank account, and worst of all, makes him shave off his trademark moustache.

She made up the audit completely and has used it as an excuse to plant herself back in Ron’s life. They quickly find, though, that Ron’s Tammy 1 problem extends far beyond the audit. Luckily, he has Leslie, April, and Andy to rescue him from being incarcerated for sticking to his anti-bureaucratic beliefs.

For someone full of Libertarian ideals like Ron Swanson, this is his worst nightmare. The reason Tammy is back in Ron’s orbit is that she’s with the IRS and he’s being audited. Tammy 1 has been an authority figure to Ron Swanson throughout his entire life. She was the candy striper who helped deliver him, but she also served as his Sunday school teacher, his middle school math teacher, and his driver’s ed teacher. In her second appearance as Ron’s ex-wife, Tammy 1, Patricia Clarkson fills her role well in an episode that offers up the biggest look at this character we’ve gotten yet (as well as the most extensive account of Ron Swanson’s past so far). Going off past episodes with Megan Mullally’s Tammy 2 turning Ron into an id-indulging deviant, I was prepared to see Ron hit some new lows in last night’s show, but nothing prepared me for the polite, moustache-less nerd Tammy 1 causes him to morph into. Two years later, we finally got to meet the last of the important Tammys in Ron’s life.

Daniels and Schur obviously made the correct choice in fighting for Offerman considering the actor's presence on Parks and Recreation created one of the best characters in TV history.Early in Parks and Rec’s run, when it was revealed that Tammy was the name of both of Ron Swanson’s ex-wives and also his mother, it created more questions than answers. At times, it was difficult to tell if Offerman was even acting in some sequences or if he was just enjoying his own hobbies as he happened to be in front of the camera. Offerman enjoys woodworking and playing the saxophone just as his on-screen counterpart. In many ways, Ron was a version of the real-life actor since they shared many of the same qualities. After so many auditions, the crew kept bringing up Offerman's name and the network finally agreed with the decision.Īs time went on, Offerman was given the opportunity to influence aspects of the character on the series. Five more months of auditioning then occurred even though Daniels, Schur, and the casting team never budged on Offerman being the guy they wanted. Offerman was the team's first choice but NBC didn't want a quick decision. The show's creators Greg Daniels and Michael Schur didn't necessarily create the role for actor specifically but it soon turned out that way. When Parks and Rec was being cast in the late '00s, the casting director already had Offerman in mind for the role of Ron even though he originally auditioned for Mark Brendanawicz.
