What's up, guys? Nicky Novak here in the Young Hollywood studio with Stoneface Nick Offerman. Just uh just Stone.

Hello, Ann Perkins. It's the first time you've said my entire name correctly.

Nonsense. We are close friends. Before we started rolling, Nick was giving it to the camera like I've never seen before.

I put out. I know how to put out.

Do you? I have a Broadway bevel. That's excellent. I like the little the little hip action. Where did you learn these skills?

My wife taught me that move. Um I've always tried to date dancers and models. So that I could pick up those techniques.

Excellent. And famous actresses. Oh. I heard that you met her actually in during a play in

Yeah, we did a play together here in Los Angeles.

You had a great opening line. It was like hmm.

Oh, yes, it was. I am Nick. And she swooned. She literally swooned and I caught her.

Did you give her a little the little bevel? Is that what it was?

No. The unbenounced to me, we there were 25 people in this play, and no one uh nobody wanted to talk to her cuz they were all freaked up uh by Will & Grace. They were huge fans. I was living in someone's basement, and I didn't have a TV and I had not seen Will & Grace. So, it was out of ignorance that I approached her and said, "Hey, I'm Nick. You're really funny." And she was like She's like, "Duh." The only guy to talk to me all day.

Wow. I'm taking you home, buddy. With the guns blazing. I love it. I'm learning all kinds of moves from you. This is excellent.

My tips for prosperity.

Well, I have an impersonation for you. Okay. From Casa de mi Padre. It was my favorite line. Although it's probably the only English spoken line in the movie. Mhm. Are you ready?

Yes.

Wait on it. Do you speak American? That's You look slightly dissatisfied by that.

That sounds familiar. Do you speak American? No, señor. No hablo americano. Yo pienso que sí puedes ayudarme. I go, "Una llamada, y diez helicópteros vienen sobre ese cerro y hacen de tu rancho un pedo encendido."

Your your tone and enunciation were spot-on.

Okay. You might wanna drop the timbre uh seven to eight points. Just imagine you you have two brass benwa balls in your hand. And then yeah, you're trying to juggle those balls.

Wow. Why did your eyebrow just go up? It does that. It was Actually, it just did it. Can you do it on queue? It almost looks like you can do it on queue.

Oh, I can, but it's funny. People always say uh people not in the know will ask me, "Do you go through your script and choreograph what you're gonna do with your eyebrows?" And I say, "That's the most ridiculous thing I've ever heard." But I do I do have uh some control over the brows.

We can see that. I heard the filming in the desert. It was like 120° or something?

Yeah, it was a record setting day of heat.

And how'd that go for you?

Uh well, nobody fainted. I It was the day that we shot that scene where I slap Will in the face and I say, "Do you speak American?" I I was in a uh shirt and tie and Kevlar vest. So I was warm enough. The movie was so fun to work on that I think everybody was just like, "Man, it's really hot. Anyway, this is really fun."

They're having a great time. And what is with you and the government employees? What is that? What is why is why are you so typecast?

I don't know. My my grandfather was the mayor of my town my hometown, Minooka, Illinois. My dad has been on the village board. My uncles are on the school board. One of them runs the Lion's Club. Uh one of them has worked as the road commissioner. So, I don't know. I guess we have uh municipal service in our blood.

And you're known to be this very masculine, can't imagine why, manly type man. Is there anything that you do in your life that is very feminine that you can reveal to the Young Hollywood audience?

Oh, yeah. There's a lot that I do that's super feminine. Um I wear a lot of lipstick. Um lipstick is beautiful. I mean, if you are out there and you haven't tried lipstick, there are so many cute shades available. And it's really flattering. I mean, just I don't know. It just really brightens up your face.

And I read somewhere that you said um that you love those moments as an actor where you're not necessarily going for the joke, but you're very you almost just sit in it.

I have the great pleasure of working with a lot of people who come from improv and sketch comedy. And so their tendency is to always be ready. And they're so incredibly facile and fast with jokes that I could never compete. So, just by nature, I've learned to remain silent. And then maybe I'll have one thing to say at the end. And you know, you need them and their energy, but then it helps to have a little bottom in your fragrance as well. A base note, if you will.

I've learned so much from you today. Thank you so much for coming in.

My pleasure. It was a pleasure. Love the film. I love Young Hollywood. I'm glad to be a part of it. Stick around. Set up office here.

When I turn 30, will I be disqualified as a member of Young Hollywood?

You'll be 29 again, and you'll always be invited.
