The comparisons between “The Office” and “Parks and Recreation” were inevitable with the same creative team, same mockumentary style of storytelling and both half hour comedies set in zany workplaces. However, series star Amy Poehler was more inspired than daunted by the comparison and told our Jim Halterman during a recent press call that she and co-star Aziz Ansari “are both huge fans of ‘The Office’ so any time that we’re mentioned in the same sentence as them it’s a compliment. But I think people will see this season what this show is and how it’s different and certainly in its own way.” Ansari, demonstrating keen comic timing, added, “I hope this season we get compared to that show ‘NCIS’ with LL Cool J and Chris O’Donnell.”  CLICK HERE FOR INTERVIEW
