'Parks and Recreation': Oprah, Helen Mirren and More 'Tammy 1' Casting Ideas from Megan Mullally

NUP_140074_0333.JPGOh, what life must be like in the Nick Offerman/Megan Mullally house. He, the mustachioed stallion who plays the iconic Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. She, his real-life wife who plays his ex, Tammy 2, from time to (insane) time. Even if they're not leaving greasy footprints on the ceiling, getting midnight tattoos and ending up in jail together, I bet they have so much fun. Like when they're dream-casting their TV show together!

In the season 3 finale of Parks and Recreation, Mullally's character reappeared just in time to get word from Donna that Ron's first wife, "Tammy 1," was literally in the building. That was enough to send Tammy 2, who herself is a frighteningly unhinged woman, sprinting away in fear. The P&R audience caught a glimpse of the first wife's errant elbow through a window, left to wonder as one of the show's many finale cliffhangers: "Who is Tammy 1?"

Celebuzz spoke to Mullally, who's currently promoting the new season of Children's Hospital on Adult Swim, about which actress could play Tammy 1 so well that she'd believably intimidate even Tammy 2. According to Mullally, there is but one word, one name, one answer: "Oprah."

Well, actually, she's got a few other names in mind if Oprah's unavailable. From the interview:

Mark Walberg Edward Norton Many Moore Britney Spears
