In a recent viral moment, fans connected Adam Scott's character from Parks and Recreation, Ben Wyatt, with the AppleTV+ show Severance. In Season 6, Episode 12, Ben pitches a concept of keeping work and home life separate. Adam Scott, who directed the episode 'Farmers Market,' reacted to fans highlighting this connection, revealing he didn't initially remember the scene until it resurfaced on social media. Although some might think this indicates he inspired Severance, the show's idea originated from creator Dan Erickson.
"How wild is that scene? If you have any suspicions about it, as a huge Parks and Recreation fan, I can confirm it's from an episode that aired back in 2014, over a decade ago."
"Isn't that weird? Actually, I directed that episode which is extra weird. It's true. Adam Scott only directed one Parks and Recreation episode in the 96 he was part of, and it was the one people keep sharing for its Severance connection."
"That never even occurred to me until I saw it on Instagram a couple of months ago."
