"Oh, Mr. Vice President, I am deeply flattered, but there's no way that I could take over Madam Secretary Clinton's position." Leslie Knope, the lovable Pawnee, Ind. city councilwoman from NBC's "Parks & Recreation" played by Amy Poehler, came face-to-face with her celebrity crush on Thursday night's episode. The meeting was arranged by her fiance, Ben Wyatt (Adam Scott,) a congressional campaign manager, as an engagement present.

"Parks and Recreation" has told a season-long story about Leslie Knope's campaign for public office, so it's only fitting that the show will be paying homage to "The West Wing" in a few weeks. The Huffington Post can exclusively reveal that in an upcoming episode of the NBC comedy, Bradley Whitford, who played Josh Lyman on "The West Wing," will play the departing Pawnee city councilman whose seat Leslie and Bobby Newport (Paul Rudd) are running for.
