We have Megan Mullally to thank for Nick Offerman being in The Last of Us: “I didn’t have time on the calendar to say yes to this job,” Offerman told Kimmel. “And my incredible goddess of a wife read it and said, ‘You’re going to Calgary, buddy. Have fun! You have to do this.'” THANK YOU, MEGAN.

Congratulations to Vanessa Hudgens and Cole Tucker!
