Sorry I was on an iPad so everything took longer. It really is hard to do an AMA on an iPad.
I have to remember to bring my computer next time.
And Overnight - it's in New York and Los Angeles now, this friday it's going to be in more select cities, and on July 3, it's going to be just about everywhere. Go see it, I promise you'll like it.
Thank you very much.

What was the funniest scene to film in Parks and Rec? So funny it needed multiple takes to finally complete?
_AdamScott2993 karma
When Amy told the eagleton people she would kill them in a deep threatening voice, you can see me break on camera
tatersalad9111293 karma
If you had to have one of the parks and rec actors back you up in a good ol fashioned street fight, who would you pick?
chicknsandwich1057 karma
All of us want to know: When is the concert episode of U Talkin U2 to Me going to be released?
Buxbaum89882 karma
Whose wedding did you and Paul Rudd get kicked out of?! Paul F Tompkins? Scott Auckerman? Brian Posehn? Am I close??
Bcrown807 karma
What are your thoughts on Tiger Woods and his steady decline as an elite golfer?
Edit: Should have asked what Tiger Woods smells like.
ShamAbram782 karma
Favorite episode of Party Down?
(side question: are we having fun yet?)
Zakman4756 karma
Any chance of a Girl Meets World cameo? Griff was a way better bully than Harvey.
AzBrah680 karma
We all know Ben Wyatt is a massive Game of Thrones fan.
Question is, are you – Adam Scott – a fan of the show as well? If so, who’s your favourite character?
The_Trekspert590 karma
Hey Mr. Scott! Big fan of your work.
I waited all day for your AMA so I could ask you this.
What was it like being the helmsman of the Defiant in Star Trek: First Contact as well as sharing dialogue with Michael Dorn, (considering you and he were the only living bridge crew)?
Any stories from while you were on set?
How did you get the role? How did you react?
I also wouldn't be a proper Trekkie if I didn't ask if you were a Trekkie/fan before the role, and, if not, did the role turn you into one?

I still can't believe you were in The Aviator. You rocked that 'stache, hombre. What was it like working on a Martin Scorsese flick?
_AdamScott895 karma
It was a total bummer just kidding it was the best, I remember every single moment will never forget it
_AdamScott1519 karma
Ambivalent but seeing how often they are now brought to me in restaurants I'd better drum up some feelings pretty fast
Schmetterlingus517 karma
Huge fan of you from Parks and Rec, such a great show.
My question is who is the most intimidating actor you have ever been around? As in making you star struck or just scared to mess up?
21andInvincible494 karma
Your house is on fire, holy shit! You have just enough time to run in there and grab ONE inanimate object. Don't worry, your loved ones and pets have already made it out safely. So what's the one thing you're going to save from that blazing inferno?
_AdamScott585 karma
Yes this is very flattering and overwhelming, sorry I can't answer every single question. So many good ones
ihateadamscott310 karma
will The Overnight be in Charleston July 3rd? Also - have you ever listened to The Strokes? I don't actually hate you, by the way.
_AdamScott383 karma
Weird combo of q's. Yes I think so and yes I have listened to the Strokes.
cdclare1989249 karma
Hey Mr. Scott, big fan. I'm actually watching Parks and Rec right now. I'm stumped as to what I should have for supper tonight. Any ideas?
SJ-Sharks244 karma
Adam Scott, I am a huge fan of yours. I need to ask you a very serious question:
In person are you more like Ben from Parks, or Henry from Party Down?
cirion5244 karma
I loved your list of 10 favorite R.E.M. songs. What's the likelihood of you and Scott doing a new UTU2TM-style podcast exploring R.E.M.'s discography?
_AdamScott707 karma
It would be difficult bc if anyone made jokes about rem it would hurt my feelings
z0otsuitwyatt237 karma
Do you see you on a cameo for the next Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt season? I think you would be great!
ThisMachineKILLS199 karma
What is that tan jacket you're always wearing in Parks and Rec? I want it
irishstevenj198 karma
Can you think of anything as close to as bizarre in your entire career as U Talkin' U2 to Me? becoming the phenomenon it is?
_AdamScott307 karma
Phenomenon is far too strong a word but talking w Letterman about it was surreal
AllGoldGold196 karma
Did the power beard you had in The Secret Life of Walter Mitty make you physically stronger?
Antonton133 karma
Hi Adam, thanks for doing this!
What would be your advice to up-and-coming comedic writers and performers? What's something you did early in your career that you think most helped you get to where you are, and what's something you wish you had done differently?
_AdamScott319 karma
Start making stuff. You have a pretty great camera in your pocket, just make stuff with it. It'll suck for a while, then it'll get better and you can figure out if you want to do this w your life.
SlightlySadSofa110 karma
Do you play video games? If so whats your favourite? Btw big fan, looking forward to watch The Overnight :)
xicedlemonteax108 karma
Hey Adam, huge fan, can't wait to see The Overnight! Really excited that you're doing an AMA on my birthday. I want to ask a few questions: 1) What inspired you to get into acting? 2) Is there a type of character you would like to play that you haven't done so before?
Purple76207108 karma
If you could only watch one movie and tv show for the rest of your life, what would they be?
StevenSanders9021085 karma
Hi Adam! Are we having fun yet?
Your taste in music is fantastic. What new music are you listening to lately?
benferreri57 karma
Hi Adam, huge P&R fan. How often do unimportant extras (i.e., background people) start laughing/make another obstruction to ruin a take that was otherwise good?
rhythm40937 karma
Hey Scott! Any advice for someone who just had their appendix removed? Thanks!
_AdamScott172 karma
Don't rub the wound with any kind of condiment no matter how delicious
_AdamScott102 karma
Stick w it, don't stop. i just didn't quit and eventually it worked out.
colin_morchrie32 karma
Hi Adam! How did you arrive to the name "Gettin' Rad" for your production company? And how did the logo come to be a tiger with sunglasses?
horriblegb28 karma
Hi Adam, First, I am a huge fan and pretty much just adore everything you are in, including TGEITH. I am also a huge fan of survivor, so I was wondering how long you have known Jeff Probst? I know you were at the finale one season, but have you ever thought about playing? Thanks!
_AdamScott67 karma
I have what I think is a sure fire strategy to win but part of what makes the show great is they never do lame stuff like a celebrity season etc
whoisjavier2059 karma
Hey Scott, I've been told I look like you. I'm a 19 year old man. And we all know your raw sexual charisma peaked during 1996, my birth year. So I guess what I'm saying is... Are you my dad?
