Paul Rudd reunited with his Parks and Recreation family to introduce the special episode that the cast created while social distancing!

The 51-year-old actor, who played Bobby Newport on the hit NBC comedy series, filmed a video to tell viewers how the special was made to raise money for Feeding America.

“Hi, my name is Bobby Newport and as you can see, I’m in Switzerland at my family’s private fox hunting estate, but I haven’t caught any yet. They’re so fast. I get close and it’s like, zoom, they’re gone. Anyways, my friend Leslie Knope asked me if I would read this message,” Paul said while in character.

At the end of the video, Paul, as Bobby, said, “Is something going on? I don’t watch the news.” After someone tells him, he looked shocked and said, “What?!” as the camera cut to black.

Here’s a synopsis of the special (via TV Line): “Pawnee’s most dedicated civil servant, Leslie Knope, is determined to stay connected to her friends in a time of social distancing.”

Michael Schur, the executive producer of the series, said, “Like a lot of other people, we were looking for ways to help and felt that bringing these characters back for a night could raise some money. I sent a hopeful email to the cast, and they all got back to me within 45 minutes. Our old Parks and Rec team has put together one more 30-minute slice of (quarantined) Pawnee life, and we hope everyone enjoys it. And donates!”

Fans are encouraged to donate to Feeding America’s COVID-19 Response Fund during the special. NBCUniversal, the Parks and Rec cast, and sponsors State Farm and Subaru of America will be matching donations up to $500,000 as well.

Amy Poehler waves to the crowd while walking on stage for the Parks and Recreation reunion panel during 2019 PaleyFest on Thursday (March 21) at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.

The Emmy-winning actress was joined at the event by her former co-stars Nick Offerman, Adam Scott, Rashida Jones, Aziz Ansari, Aubrey Plaza, Chris Pratt, Retta, Jim O’Heir, and Rob Lowe.

The panel was moderated by Patton Oswalt, who was a guest star on the series.

During the event, series co-creator Mike Schur opened up about the possibility of a revival.

“Everyone on this stage — and like 6 other people — would have to feel like there was a story that needed to be told,” he said (via THR).

“The show had an argument to make,” he added. “The argument was about teamwork and friendship and positivity being optimistic and not getting cynical and believing that people can do good and believing in the power of public service and believing that if you work hard and you put your head down and believe in the people around you who are part of your team, that good things are possible. That you’ll achieve the things you want to achieve, and I don’t feel like we left anything on the table. I feel like the show sort of made its argument. And we also — maybe this was like a preventative measure or something — we did jumped ahead to the year, like, 2074.”

Amy said on the red carpet that she would be down for a revival.

“I am so not cool, so from minute one I’ve been like I’m down. Tell me where to go, I’ll clear my schedule,” she said. “I mean, Mike Schur currently produces and writes on I think 14 shows, so it’ll really be whenever he is ‘tech avail,’ as we like to say in the biz. But yeah, I’m ready.”

FYI: Aubrey is wearing a Jonathan Simkhai dress, Jimmy Choo shoes, Zoe Chicco earrings, and State Property rings.
