They also reveal who will be coming up on the telecast before each commercial break, with the announcer even taking a humorous jab at one of his co-stars.

The 54-year-old actor is best known for playing Ron Swanson in the NBC sitcom Parks and Recreation.

Offerman even had some fun at his Parks and Rec co-star Amy Poehler’s expense, purposefully pronouncing her name wrong. 

‘Coming up next, Amy… Po-eh-ler presents the awards for Original and Adapted Screenplay,’ Offerman joked.

He even poked some fun at Conan O’Brien, interrupting one of his bits by mentioning,’ This is Conan O’Brien’s first time hosting the Oscars.’

When Conan tried to continued, Offerman mentioned, ‘That’s a lot of pressure,’ as Conan tried to laugh it off, adding he’s hosted awards shows before, though Offerman added, ‘Well, nothing this big.’

‘Nick, do me a favor and stop interrupting,’ Conan said, as Nick responded, ‘OK, guy, just trying to help.’

Still, Nick continued to interrupt, adding, ‘A challenge this big coming so late in one’s career must weight on a man’s soul,’ as the audience laughed.

A miffed Conan added, ‘That’s enough. Just read the script I gave you,’ as they cut to Offerman in a black-on-black suit backstage, who said, ‘He’s one of the great comedians of our time, Conan O’Brien,’ as the host said it was, ‘perfect.’
