NBA All-Star Detlef Schrempf guest-starred on Parks and Recreation Thursday night, in an episode written by Amy Poehler herself and stole the show.
What happened on the episode?
Tom is supposed to pick up the special guest (Det) for the telethon that Leslie is using to raise money for diabetes research. But, instead of bringing him to the telethon, Tom takes him out clubbing instead.
Poehler says that Schrempf exceeded their expectations for a guest star, which is pretty good, considering that he’s only been on one German soap opera and one “Married With Children” episode.
“We’re going to write a spin-off for him called ‘That’s So Detlef,’ so look forward to that,” Ansari said.
Detlef played pro ball from 1985 to 2001, starting out with the Dallas Mavericks and ending his career with the Portland Trail Blazers. He was a 3-time NBA All-Star, 2-time Sixth Man of the Year and played on the EuroBasket 1985 All-Tournament Team.
