Nick Offerman Serves As Oscars 2025 Narrator: ‘Parks And Recreation’ Star Takes Over Announcer Role
Nick Offerman, celebrated for portraying Ron Swanson in NBC’s sitcom Parks and Recreation, served as the announcer at the 2025 Oscars ceremony. He assumed the role previously held by David Alan Grier. Offerman has also gained recognition for his performances in The Last of Us, 21 Jump Street, and Fargo. He appeared in last year’s dystopian action thriller Civil War, where he played the President of the United States.
“I thought I was imagining things by hearing Nick Offerman voice at the Oscars but no I’m correct. I recognize Ron Swanson voice anywhere,” one viewer commented on X.
Another user wrote, “Honestly loving Nick Offerman’s conviction and authority in the room tonight as the ‘voice of god.’ Fingers crossed he gets pulled into a bit tonight, or we at least see him on camera”.
A third person commented, “Nick offerman doing the voiceovers for the oscars is confirmation that an oscar win is the next step in hollywood domination from the parks and rec cast”.
Offerman deliberately mispronounced Amy Poehler’s name, drawing laughter from the audience.
Responding to the moment, one X user wrote, “Nick offerman mispronouncing amy poehler’s name oh that’s my parks and recreation family forever”.
