Ron and Leslie are back together again—well, kind of.
Deadline reports that NBC ordered The Handmade Project, an unscripted reality show that will star Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman as the hosts. The competition show received a six-episode straight-to-straight series, with Poehler and Offerman serving as judges that will analySe handmade crafts and artisanship of eight different contestants.
Each episode will feature a new theme with a steadily increasing difficulty level, and at the end of the season, one contestant will be the crafting champion. "I'm thrilled to be celebrating artists who make things by hand, and I'm looking forward to finally conquering my fear of paper mache," Poehler said in a statement, according to Deadline.
Said Offerman in a very Offerman-like statement:
"People who make things are my favorite kind of folk. Practical, clever and terrific in a pinch. That makes me tickled pink to have a front row seat at this prodigious display of talent, and admiring and cheering on an amazing crop of American makers. Plus, Amy and I have a strong tradition of tomfoolery so let's see if we don't have some good fun."
We can only hope there will be plenty of Ron Swanson woodworking involved.
