Parks and Rec Reunion! See Jenny Slate Get an Adorable Surprise From Her ‘TV Dad’ Henry Winkler
We’ve got a Pawnee family reunion to show you, and it’s as sweet as Sweetums.
Jenny Slate got a heartwarming surprise on Friday’s The Drew Barrymore Show when her Parks and Recreation co-star and TV dad Henry Winkler popped up in the audience posing as a fan. Slate got emotional when she saw Winkler, who asked her: “Can I have some of that money back?” (Slate’s character Mona-Lisa Saperstein, you’ll remember, always begged Winkler’s character Lu for cash, sticking out her hand and demanding, “Money, please!”)

Slate rushed over to hug Winkler, admitting through tears: “I didn’t know that people really get surprised on TV!” She also remembered running into Winkler at a recent awards ceremony, taking comfort in the fact that “my TV dad is here.”
Slate memorably played Jean-Ralphio’s obnoxiously superficial twin sister Mona-Lisa Saperstein on Parks and Rec, debuting in Season 5 and appearing in nine episodes — including the series finale, where she and Jean-Ralphio faked their own deaths. Winkler appeared in eight episodes as Jean-Ralphio and Mona-Lisa’s overly generous father Dr. Lu Saperstein, making his debut in Season 6.
