Adam Scott Says This Parks and Recreation Moment Always Makes Him Laugh: ‘One of the Great Scenes’ (Exclusive)

“I remember when we did the the table read of that, everyone was laughing. We couldn’t stop laughing,” he told PEOPLE

Severance star Adam Scott reflected on his Parks and Recreation era by reminiscing about a “great scene” that the cast “couldn’t stop laughing” about during the table read for that season 4 episode.

The actor, who played Ben Wyatt on the NBC series that aired for seven seasons from 2009 to 2015, exclusively told PEOPLE at Apple TV+’s A Mysterious and Important Invite on Behalf of Severance event on April 5 about one of his favorite moments from the sitcom.

“You know, it’s a scene that I’m not in, which is, it’s the episode where I’m doing claymation and Leslie and Ron and everybody are out at the ice skating rink, and they have to move across the rink and it’s super slippery,” Scott, 52, says of the season 4 moment in episode 11, “The Comeback Kid.”

In the episode, Ben’s partner Leslie Knope, played by Amy Poehler, enlists the help of her department to set up an attention-getting event at a local ice skating rink to promote her new campaign for local government. The event takes a turn for the worse as the team members make an entrance on the ice, falling and dragging each other down in the process.

As they attempt to shuffle their way to the comically small makeshift “stage” made by Nick Offerman‘s character Ron Swanson, which also features a misprinted campaign poster of Leslie’s zoomed-in face, a dog carried by Offerman on the ice begins peeing.

“I remember when we did the table read of that, everyone was laughing,” Scott recalls. “We couldn’t stop laughing. Just thinking about what it would look like and then you know it was even funnier than that once they shot it. I think it’s one of the great scenes.”

To add to the awkwardness in the scene, Gloria Estefan’s “Get on Your Feet” plays on a loop in the background as the group takes an uncomfortable amount of time to get the event started.

“Yes, yes, the Gloria Estefan song. So funny,” Scott says.

Scott’s character is absent for the campaign event as he goes through a depressive episode, facing recent unemployment and spending his time at home creating a claymation film.

Scott also talked to PEOPLE about the release of Severance season 2.

“I feel great,” he says. “It is nice to be able to talk about it because we’ve been sitting on all these big crazy secrets for years, but it’s also great to see the reaction because you really just never know how people are going to react until it’s out there in the word.”

“The response is truly overwhelming,” Scott adds.

When it comes to season 3 of the show, he had only one thing to say: “There are things that I would like to see, but I think those things we should wait and see how everything shakes out, you know. It’s exciting, all the different options and all the different, you know, ways the directions the show can take are all very exciting.”

Parks and Recreation is available to stream on Peacock, and Severance is available to watch on Apple TV+.
