“Parks and Recreation” star Nick Offerman is lending his voice to the Academy Awards on Sunday. Offerman is taking the helm from last year’s announcer David Alan Grier.
Offerman was briefly shown during the broadcast during a back and forth exchange with O’Brien where he tried to pressure the comedian during his first time hosting the award show.
