It is great news that Ron Swanson’s/Nick Offerman’s doppelgänger will be played by Sam Elliott, but a potential facial hair stare down doesn’t quite balance out yesterday’s announcement of Parks and Recreation cast members Rashida Jones and Rob Lowe leaving the show. 

With that being said, we’re excited to see what Rashida comes up with in her big TV deal with Warner Bros. TV that she got a few months ago.
