Former Free Agent Kathryn Hahn is returning to NBC with one helluva political agenda.

  • This is awesome! Especially since she played Adam Scott’s wife in Step Brothers. The Catalina Wine Mixer!

    • The scene where they are singing Sweet Child Of Mine in the car is one of my all time favourite scenes from any movie ever.

  • She did play Adam Scott’s cheating wife in Step Brothers, so I guess she already has a connection to Parks & Rec.
