THE CULT OF RETTA

She is delightful:

Donna’s a real man eater.” Retta’s pulling for an on-camera love scene next season for her character. “They need to cast [hunky True Blood star] Joe Manganiello as Donna’s fireman boyfriend, Marcus. Either him or [equally hunky actor/model] Boris Kodjoe — I’m not mad at Boris, he can bring it.” Parks and Rec’s resident sleaze bag Jean-Ralphio Saperstein, played by Ben Schwartz, is an option as well. “I want Donna and Jean-Ralphio to have a torrid, secret affair that she threatens him not to tell anyone about,” she says. Of all her costars, however, Retta has the biggest soft-spot for her “on-set husband” Jim O’Heir, who plays office scapegoat Jerry. “I have a bad back, bad knees and a bad ankle so I never want to go get anything. Whenever the ice cream truck is around I’ll just look at him and he’ll go, ‘Do you want me to get you some?’ He knows I do. I don’t even know why he pretends to ask.”

Amazing.

This woman is what proves to me that I should watch the Tumblr filtered version of the show and not the one on the TV. Why?

Because in the Tumblr-filtered version, she’s the lead and Aziz Ansari’s character is her co-lead and Rashida Jones’s character there’s some other people, but it’s their show and it’s awesome and they have fun and there’s antics and it’s amazing.

But when I turn on TV there’s Amy fucking Poehler and it makes me tired and I turn the channel.
