Nick Offerman on What He’d Be Like as President, Getting Arrested By Accident & New Movie Civil War
Nick talks about coming from a family of politicians, his sister being a powerful librarian in Illinois, his dad being the Mayor of Minooka, IL, getting into trouble in college for stealing Ronnie Milsap cassettes, spending a night in jail with his friends after they were mistaken for burglars, playing the president in his new movie Civil War, and what a Nick Offerman presidency would actually look like.

To have a scowling face and that high pitch chuckle is epic.
I said the same thing!
The picture of Nick’s dad looks like it came straight from the set of Parks & Rec!
As did his story about his sister. A character straight from P&R
Also his sister sounds like a direct inspiration to Tammy II (Megan Mullally), who's actually Nick's wife!
Exactly 👍🏻🤣
😊😅😊😅😂😂
No it doesn’t
I love how Nick Offerman is so reserved in his speech and then giggles like a four year old at jokes.😁💕
That giggle. It's so precious.
His giggles 😅
Literally came to say his little giggle is so funny. Mischievous
They are the best ❤
@@hvrden8260 : He so reminds me of my stoner buddies in the early 80's. lols
❤
@@hvrden8260 Mmm! Those eyes! Plus, he and his wife are a terrific comedy team.
Anybody else never watch anything but the monologue except on the very rare occasion someone cool like this comes on?
Oui💁🏼♀️
I always skip the monologue. No desire to hear kimmel talk about trump for 15 minutes every day
@@RioTGeaRMusic better than the fake street bits in the end of the monologue :)
@@RioTGeaRMusic Yeah, I hear ya. It does get redundant. Especially if you watch Seth Meyers and Colbert too. Trump deserves it though. Dude's nuts. I honestly don't know what late night shows used to talk about haha.
bruh I literally never f*cking watch the monologue lmfao
The wee grins, the poignant chuckles. My mom was a librarian. This guy is *_cool_* as heck.
"Decency versus Red.. you know" Yes Nick. We SO know. 😂❤
VOTE
"I experimented with misdemeanors." 🤣
That needs to be framed
As did I... 😅😂
As an ex librarian from Ks. I really wanna meet his sister 😂that aside it’s charming that his entire family is a village literally , I mean how cool is that 🤷🏼♀️
The dating scene must be tough
"A very powerful librarian." Start callin' her Conan the Librarian!
Don't you know the Dewey Decimal System? ⚔️ 💀
UHF 🤘
😂😂😂! Best comment ever! 🤓📚
Go Nick!
I know that part of Illinois. 😊
Nick Offerman is a true American hero!
The librarian callback was good
His sister is a librarian. This makes it funnier the way they treated the library in Parks and Rec
I love his focus on soil health, woodworking, handiwork and home economics
I'm a HS teacher. I agree that home ec and wood shop are important. Our HS has both culinary arts, wood shop, and metal shop. A lot of schools have these classes in my state.
He is a national treasure
Thank you Nick! Farmers rule!! They put food on our tables!
I'd totally vote for Offerman!
Hell yeah
Mandatory shop class for all children.
Same here! _Nick Offerman_ and or _Beau of the Fifth Column._ Two men who would make the greatest presidents (both build stuff, and kind of trouble-makers in their youth, too) but neither of them wants anything to do with it. Isn't it odd, or maybe natural I think, that the best leaders are just people going around setting good examples, and don't want anything to do with Hierarchy? I seek Horizontal power, instead. ❤🌍🌎🌏🌐
Or… and hear me out… ANYONE ELSE!
The only real way to make America great again!
I remember Nick in High School plays. He was incredible then and we all knew he would go far. I can’t wait to see your recent movie.
His book where he goes into his upbringing, life and those run ins with the law he described is hilarious from beginning to end, impeccable wordsmith! 😂
Which book is that, Paddle your own Canoe? I'm curious. I'm gonna pick it up.
@@autumnstarrs yes, that's the one
Sounds like it would make a great movie.
I'm currently reading that one after receiving it from a friend a few years ago. Great book so far.
OFFERMAN FOR PRESIDENT!! He had me rolling at “decency vs red” 😂😂😂
I'd absolutely vote for him!
I'm not even American but this guy is a national treasure
"Decency vs Red" I adore the true yet calmly delivered dig
...and Three Rivers Public Library's website immediately gets more hits in one hour than in its entire previous existence.
Nick Offerman, & Jimmy Kimmel together become one of The Best Comedy Duo's We could ever ask for. 🤣 Not to mention, their both two Amazing men. I Love them both so much!! 💜💜
You don't know that... so,
@@morbidmanmusic You don’t know she doesn’t know that, so…
Boy do you ever have a low bar for comedy.
Yes, Nick Offerman For President!! 👏🏼💙💙
I want my son to grow up just like this dude
A lofty and respectable goal.
@@MrJayehawkagreed:)
We need more Nick Offermans in Washington DC 🗳
Nick as Karl Weathers in Fargo was hilarious and so realistic at the same time!!
I’m 61 and I took wood shop, auto shop, home economics and sewing classes after high school.
They should have those classes in High School again, and just basic Economics.
Who asked you? Your 45yr old history is important to who?
@@kevincorey5220 what are you mad about? I agreed with him about economics in school. Really?
@@kevincorey5220normal people like to discuss the differing human experiences across generations. So it's important to me. Could we add some red flags to this guys gun application. He is apparently infuriated by... everything? Or just home ec? Idk either way keep him away from guns.
Well lah de dah. Ive done more. No I haven’t. 😅
Thanks for the plug for the arts and crafts! Time for use to invest in our children.
President Offerman, has a nice ring to it lol
Better than what's been presented in a long time. With a better VP Biden is great, but yeah, definitely.
Nick Offerman is a NATIONAL TREASURE & MUST BE PROTECTED AT ALL COSTS.
I can so relate to Nick’s earlier days. We have a bond now! ☮️💟
Great guest, he makes talking about soil health much more interesting!
As a library enthusiast who has had MANY overdue books, the thought of an intimidating Offerman sister confronting me with those intimidating eyes over past due library books, I’m trembling in my boots! 😱😱😱
Cannot believe how many genius types and celebrities come from the Midwest...especially Illinois.
Someone noticed! Lol, we appreciate your observation. 😊😊
We are VERY proud of your IL upbringing and education🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙🧡💙
Gotta love Offerman got some guts
no kidding, look at that neck tie - still better than trump's
So effortless funny Nick Offerman.. type you can have a hours long conversation with and never be bored
Nick has the best laugh .......and one of my few memories from middle school (bc I was high a lot of the time) was my home ec teacher telling us to "clean as you go"......stuck with me all these years! To this day, I am super tidy!
What a delightful guest!
ironically, in this interview, he kind of resembles Ulysses S. Grant, who was the Union commander in the actual Civil War. 🤙
In my best Larry David impression, "eh..."
Gotta admit... being caught stealing those is way funnier than just stealin' 'em in the first place. You won that round.
... one of my college friends got caught stealing baby Jesus from Biblical Gardens in Wisconsin Dells . He would never smoke weed with the rest of us since he was on probation. He is now a Spanish teacher in greater Milwaukee but the thought 🤔 of him running black out drunk down main st w baby Jesus as his football is still amusing to me lol 😉
Nick is absolutely so wonderful what a great energy what a great dynamic with Jimmy just so good
I LOVE that Nick has a sister, who is a very powerful librarian☮️💜✨🍿
I love Ron (and Mona Lisa and Jean-Ralphio). I miss those characters! 😂❤
Nick! We need you in our politics, for real!
Grew up in Walla Walla, WA. My junior high girlfriend (now my wife of 48 years) took home ec and typing. She is an awesome cook and a fast typist. I got kicked out of shop class before we started using hand tools. I can't type but i make things in my workshop. Way better equipped shop than the one in junior high. We greatly emjoy our grandkids. Its a good life!
Had to do sewing and woodwork in 6th and 7th grade in Chicago IL. back in the mid 1980's 😺
LOVE that Nick mentions soil health! Honestly there couldn’t be anything sexier!! That’s where we get our minerals and vitamins and that’s very sexy ❤❤❤
Is there anything better than Nick Offerman's giggle? Lucky Megan Mullally! ❤
Every now and then the stars align and a comedy show is born - Parks & Rec was just such a show. It gave birth to a generation of comedic actors. Actors that have wholeheartedly entertained us for over 25 years. Why? Because they are unabashedly real in their comedic recollection of life's endlessly hysterical BS. I Love Nick Offerman - He's comic Gold! The man deserves multiple comedy Emmies! Ps...so does Kimmel for his endless comic show!!!!
Love you Mr. Offerman!
I would love to have a beer with Nick and find out he's as cool as he his. I took all of the electives in the 70-80's and my mother called it "Bachelor Survival"
Best presidential campaign ever. 'Nick Offerman's sister: President' -Ron Swanson: vice president Nick Offerman: a cabinet secretary...
Having grown up on a farm, Nick Offerman is absolutely right about the importance of agriculture, wood working, and home ec. We can have all of the tech in the world, but without chairs, tables, and food, we would not be very productive. Past government legislature is what got us to these huge industrial complex farms that have ravaged our resources and destroyed small family farms. It's sad, but it's the bed in which they must lie, and it's up to us to make a change at the booth to find the people willing to take on those not so TV worthy debates.
I would vote for Nic Offerman in a heartbeat!
Omg, THE Nick Offerman?? From Miss Congeniality 2??
I know right. What became of that man. Was he in other movies?
Nick Offerman… Best looking beard and mustache of anyone on planet earth. 🥇
Am I the only one who thinks Nick Offerman, & Seth Rogan sound the same when they laugh? 🤣🤣
LMAO I didn’t even notice until you said so, it’s a stoner laugh for sure xD
@@splatzec, LMAO!! Yes, it is!! Everytime they laugh I just picture the other one laughing right alone. 🤣🤣
Eeeyauh. Can you imagine the two of them in a comedy?
The best natural scowl in all of show business.
A man with a heart and brain (plus an awesome wife)
He’d have my vote
Nick Offerman for President! His wife Megan Mullally our First Lady! YES
the pride of Minooka, Illinois
Jimmy Kimmel was the best KZhead plaque ever how did he get it?
Totally agree about re-introducing practical skills, but I would add financial education as well.
Shout out from University of Illinois at Chicago!! We love our Arts!!! 😍😍😍😍😁😁😁😁
I never watched his breakout show but I get a lot of comfort from his persona. I'd vote for him, I love a handy man
Nick is one of my favourite narrators on the CALM App! He is a terrific storyteller. My favourite is when he does , “The Big Bad Wolf”.
Woodworkers and chefs unite!😂
Amazing in The Last Of Us.
Soo Good. One of my top two episodes from that show.
Won an award for his performance.
That episode holds it own
That's right! He was.
I love Nick Offerman ❤🎉for President!!! 🇺🇸
I love Nick very, very funny actor.❤❤❤😂😂😂
Unironically, I'd absolutely vote Nick Offerman for POTUS! 🤣🙏🇺🇲
100% agree with Nick about schools and farming. Basics!
Nick for Prez!!!!
'one-hitter'... Classic!
Deadpan humor genius.
2 BEAUTIFUL MEN RIGHT THERE!! NICK HAS BEST LAUGH. I LOVE JIMMY'S LAUGH TOO!! THIS IS AWESOME!! 😊🩷🤘✌️
You need to get out more if you think Kimmel is good looking. Poor thing.
Vote For Nick! He Solved The Bacon Shortage!!!!
minooka is huge now. even 20 some years ago it was still just a little cow town. had to play them in football way way back in the day and it was nothing but farms
Football players worked hauling hay and farm jobs in the summer to build healthy muscles and to get strong.
Love the way Nick speaks! He did a great reading of Tom Sawyer!
No one is more American than Nick Offerman.
A master of deadpan!
I liked what he said about what he would bring back in schools: Home Ec and Woodworking - the very basics to build from in every day life.
Nick really could be the best president in American history. He has real bipartisan values, he demonstrated immediately that he has more knowledge than 99% of the sitting politicians, let alone the rest of the country, he doesn't seem to actually want the job, which makes his far less likely to cave to corruption, but if he had it, he would do it to the best of his ability, because that's the type of person he is. Offerman 2028!
I LOVE Nick Offerman! Fell for him in Parks and Rec❤
Offerman as Karl Weathers in Fargo (Season 2) is impossibly good. Also happens to be the second best season of TV ever, True Detective S1 being the best. As he negotiates with 'Bear' outside the police station, it's even better than his now famous entrance into the station in the first place. Just watch Fargo S2.
Kudos to my man Nick Offerman! He takes the time to acknowledge how incredibly important our farmers are and would like to see shop/home ec. class brought back. Much love and respect ❤❤
Dude has a great laugh 😂
I still say Devs is the prequel to Westworld. Offerman can a rock a 3-piece too.
His chuckle tickles my soul. 😂😂😂
“Milsap and Weed” - sounds like a new country song coming on somewhere… ;-)
We had Home Ec and Industrial Arts required for every 8th grade student when I was younger (early 80’s). I agree that every student should learn these basics.
Nick has my vote
“Decency vs red”. Love Nick Offerman
His chuckle is so funny because it seems to be coming out of somebody else.
His name sounds like a dare, too.
What a great interview! 🙂😊
He is so cool. Jimmy? Nick? Both! Our next presidential ticket!
