Ben Schwartz Earns His Spot In Area 55

Ben Schwartz, who portrays the hilarious character Jean-Ralphio on NBC’s Parks and Recreation (on which Hibbert has guest-starred), decided to take a crack at an entry. Let’s just say I like his chances:

Fans have until 5 p.m. Friday to submit their tapes, so get on it if you haven’t already.
