Will Arnet Adam Scott And Amy Poehler Podcast Second

Adam Scott appeared on Will Arnett’s podcast Smartless this week. And amongst all the things mentioned within the 54-minute episode, one explicit second has since gone tremendous viral throughout social media.

Will, who was joined by cohosts Jason Bateman and Sean Hayes, requested Adam if he’d “ever had an emotional affair with a coworker,” to which Adam laughed and mentioned, “Oh god.” And for those who aren’t caught up with all of the lore, you may not notice why folks assume it’s such an enormous deal.

However earlier than we dive into it, it’s necessary to notice that the query got here throughout as tremendous lighthearted and many folks thought it was an harmless reference to Adam’s character in Severance, who has an affair along with his coworker.

Now, whilst you in all probability know Will from enjoying Gob Bluth on Arrested Growth, for those who’re a fan of Parks and Recreation, you might need noticed him in an early episode of the present. That’s as a result of Will was once married to the one and solely Amy Poehler — who sits proper on the heart of all this.

In case you want a recap, Will and Amy started relationship in 2000, proper earlier than Amy began on Saturday Evening Stay in 2001. They bought married three years later, and share two children collectively: Archie, 16, and Abel, 14.

After leaving SNL, Amy started starring as Leslie Knope within the NBC hit Parks and Recreation. The present premiered in 2009, a yr after Amy and Will’s first child was born. Within the second season, Will guest-starred in an episode, enjoying an MRI technician with whom Leslie goes on a horrible blind date. And whereas the episode was tremendous humorous, followers of the present will know that Leslie’s love life didn’t begin getting attention-grabbing till the very finish of the second season, airing in 2010. Enter Ben Wyatt.

Though we now know and love him as Mark S., Adam Scott’s breakout position was on Parks and Rec as Ben — Leslie’s love curiosity. The 2 had instantaneous chemistry onscreen, and most followers will inform you that the present went from good to nice after Ben and Chris (Rob Lowe’s character) confirmed up, partially due to Leslie and Ben’s unimaginable dynamic.

September 2012: Parks and Rec’s fifth season started airing, and Will and Amy introduced their separation. Will then filed for divorce in 2014 — it was finalized in 2016 — and it sounds prefer it was tough for each of them. In a 2022 interview with The Guardian, Will described it as “virtually excruciating… Simply brutal, brutal, brutal. I used to be driving to the set at some point and I pulled over to the facet of the street and cried for an hour.”

In Amy’s 2014 memoir, she revealed that she didn’t wish to focus on their breakup as a result of it was “too unhappy and too private” to share. She commented on how proud she was of Will’s co-parenting abilities and mentioned that she didn’t contemplate their virtually 10 years of marriage a failure. “That being mentioned,” she wrote, “getting a divorce actually sucks.”

On the time, there have been rumors swirling on either side — essentially the most distinguished of which being that Will had an affair along with his Up All Evening costar, Christina Applegate, which neither Will nor Christina have ever publicly addressed. There have been additionally rumors of Amy and Adam’s onscreen chemistry translating offscreen, given the timing of the preliminary cut up in 2012 coinciding with Adam’s begin on Parks and Rec. Nevertheless, the rumors have been fairly stagnant — till Adam hopped on Will’s podcast and everyone misplaced their minds.

On X, one consumer posted the clip and poignantly known as it “an unprovoked query posed to adam scott by will arnett,” and one other responded with, “he’s wished to ask that for a longggg time.”

“will arnett actually mentioned ‘by probability did you destroy my pleased marriage?’” one other consumer chimed in. “im sorry helly r you’ll by no means be adam scott’s n1 work place relationship,” mentioned one particular person, posting an edit of Leslie in Parks.

It’s additionally necessary to notice that Will’s query to Adam, whereas probably innocent, would possibly dispel one other rumor that was circulating about why Will and Amy’s marriage fell aside: enter Amy’s Weekend Replace cohost, Seth Meyers.

Referred to by many as “situationship remaining boss,” Seth and Amy auditioned for SNL on the exact same day, and the 2 have been tight ever since. Suuuuper tight, as after they first met, Seth “fully fell for her.” His phrases!

Seth and Amy have been co-anchors on SNL‘s Weekend Replace for 2 years collectively, and so they, too, had nice chemistry. A lot in order that viewers of SNL’s fiftieth anniversary have been mentioning Seth’s face whereas watching Amy carry out — virtually twenty years after they stopped internet hosting collectively. Whereas it was all hypothesis, there was a distinguished rumor that Will and Amy broke up as a result of Amy and a “well-known comic” have been planning on operating away collectively, however the comic in query chickened out. For a very long time, folks assumed that it was Seth, however now followers have turned again to Adam.

“Extra like parks and homewreck” one consumer wrote. “any individual lock seth meyers, will arnett and adam scott in a room collectively” one other added, and I can’t advocate for that sufficient.

Nevertheless, everyone knows that rumors are rumors, and nothing is definitely confirmed. I, for one, am pleased that Will and Adam appear to be buddies now and that nothing has come between Seth and Amy. And everyone knows that Amy’s no. 1 work spouse will at all times be Tina Fey, so none of it actually issues in the long run.
