Ben Schwartz on 'Sonic', Target T-Shirts, and the Possibility of a 'Parks and Rec' Reunion
Talk to Ben Schwartz for, say, just about four minutes and you'll become convinced he was pretty much destined to play Sega's iconic speedster, Sonic the Hedgehog. The comedian—best-known and most-memed for his role as Jean-Ralphio Saperstein on Parks and Recreation—charmingly goes at a mile a minute, whether he's discussing the film itself or something like the T-shirt selection at Target. To be completely honest, we mostly talked about the T-shirt selection at Target.
But, eventually, we also discussed the history of Sonic over the years, his original name, Mr. Needlemouse, the film's partnership with Jack in the Box (and not Sonic), the possibility of a Parks and Recreation reunion for NBC's Peacock streaming service, and more.
