"Parks and Recreation&amp;#039;s Nick Offerman has said he loves when wife Megan Mullally guest stars on the sitcom. Mullally has appeared in multiple Parks and Recreation episodes as the ex-wife of Offerman&amp;#039;s character Ron Swanson and will return for this season&amp;#039;s ninth installment.   In an interview with The AP, Offerman explained how he and Mullally are able to share both work and their love life. &amp;quot;I think the accepted rule of thumb is that you don&amp;#039;t bring your marriage to the workplace, but we feel very lucky that for some reason I think it&amp;#039;s important that we both are successful,&amp;quot; the actor explained.  He continued: &amp;quot;If one of us wasn&amp;#039;t succeeding, I think that would make a difference in the paradigm, but we both are getting to exercise our own weird muscles, and we&amp;#039;re able to leave our egos out of it. We love working as a team and I love to see her succeed and I&amp;#039;m very aware of how that helps me in our household.  &amp;quot;I love to plug Megan because you know she deserves a lot of kudos, but also because it&amp;#039;s all in the family. She&amp;#039;s such a comedy hero to me.&amp;quot; Offerman also named Parks and Recreation co-star Amy Poehler as another of his favorite comics.      &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s so hard not to laugh at Amy. She&amp;#039;s just so wickedly funny and I&amp;#039;ve had to develop this psychological trick where I pretend she&amp;#039;s my sister,&amp;quot; he revealed.  He further explained: &amp;quot;I have a couple sisters and there are reasons when you hate your sisters&amp;#039; guts... where like in high school everyone loves one of them for some reason so you hate them because of their popularity.  &amp;quot;I try to get into this mind-set where she&amp;#039;s being so funny and I think to myself, &amp;#039;Oh, you&amp;#039;re so funny. Everyone loves you so much&amp;#039;. And I pretend she&amp;#039;s my sister. It allows her humor to not affect me for a moment. But even that she batters through.&amp;quot; Offerman previously admitted that Parks and Recreation viewers frequently confuse him with his stone-faced character Ron Swanson. &amp;quot;I quickly reassure anyone who asks that they&amp;#039;re talking to a fully rounded-human being and not a hilarious, fictional television character,&amp;quot; he joked. Parks and Recreation airs Thursdays at 9.30/8.30c on NBC. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
