Chris Pratt’s Parks and Recreation Character is Ready to Replace James Comey

By now you know that the FBI is without its director. Yesterday, President Donald Trump fired James Comey. Since the news broke, there’s been lots of talk about who might replace him.

But, theres no need to debate or look any further, because Chris Pratt knows exactly who that person should be: his Parks and Recreation character’s alter-ego, Burt Macklin, FBI.

And it’s not like the FBI doesn’t know who he is:

Macklin, you son of a b*tch.

President Trump: Just let him know.
