Nick Offerman

Actors Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally have put their house in the Hollywood Hills West area up for sale at $12.65 million. The contemporary sits behind walls on about a quarter of an acre in the celebrity-populated "bird streets" area. The 3,803-square-foot home has three bedrooms, 31/2 bathrooms and city views. There is a swimming pool. Offerman, 42, has played parks department director Ron Swanson on "Parks and Recreation" since 2009. Mullally, 53, was a regular on "Will & Grace" from 1998 to 2006, had her own talk show and stars on the comedy "Childrens Hospital" (2008-present)

What if you had experienced the defining moment of your life - but couldn't remember it? Sharr White's remarkable two-person play, “Annapurna,” now at the Odyssey, deals with just that dilemma, as well as other imponderables such as the vagaries of love and the philosophical clarity of impending death. From White's poignant script to Bart DeLorenzo's faultless direction to Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman's beautifully centered performances, “Annapurna” is a lovely theatrical construct from the ground up.

NEW YORK - If Jimmy Fallon was feeling stressed about his impending takeover of "The Tonight Show" during a rehearsal last Thursday at 30 Rockefeller Plaza, he certainly wasn't letting it show. Granted, the head-to-toe chicken costume he was wearing for an "all-clucking" version of the Lumineers' hit "Ho Hey" made it hard to divine his mood. "Do you mind doing it one more time?" he asked his fellow "Chickeneers" - country singer Blake Shelton, "Parks and Recreation" star Nick Offerman and "Late Night" writer Chris Tartaro - after two run-throughs.

Blake Shelton, Nick Offerman, Jimmy Fallon and writer Chris Tartaro are ... "The Chickeneers. " Things got a little egg-centric on the "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" set Thursday when "The Voice" judge, "Parks & Rec" star, late-night host and TV writer performed their rendition of "Ho Hey!" by Grammy-nominated band the Lumineers. Dressed as chickens. Clucking their way through the whole song. No words, just clucks. Bock , bock and everything. The quartet was costumed as bright yellow fowl, a la Big Bird, and delivered a nearly straight-faced performance of the hit song in celebration of Easter this Sunday.

"I don't like to call myself a stand-up, because I have friends that are such great stand-ups, and I don't write jokes," said actor Nick Offerman, who showcases his talents this weekend with a show dubbed "American Ham" at Largo at the Coronet. "I suppose it's splitting hairs, but I feel more like a humorist, because my show is anecdotal. " Billed as an evening of "songs and woodworking tips with minor nudity," the show promises to show many sides of Offerman's comedy, which lately is best known in his portrayal of the meat-eating libertarian Ron Swanson on NBC's "Parks and Recreation.

"A guy who's so funny and kills me right now is on 'Parks and Recreation:' Nick Offerman. He's someone, I think, who's in that vein of 'overnight sensation who's been working for 20 years' and no one knows about it. Nick's not a young guy, but he's someone who's so distinct and plays these great, bizarre characters. He's fantastic. And he's finally getting attention now, and a shot he really deserves. He's just dry and bizarre and weird. Oh, and has a great mustache. " For a zany night, Will Ferrell style, watch Nick Offerman on "Parks and Recreation" 9:30 p.m. Thursdays on NBC. deborah.vankin@latimes.com

With Jimmy Fallon officially set to take over “The Tonight Show” from Jay Leno next year, viewers can expect plenty of changes to the nearly 60-year-old late-night franchise. Of course there's the show's geographic relocation, from Burbank to a souped-up new studio at 30 Rockefeller Plaza in New York City. But there's also a vast stylistic difference between Leno, 62, and Fallon, who will be several months shy of his 40th birthday when he takes over “Tonight.” In his two decades at NBC, Leno has consistently led the ratings -- mostly, his critics claim, by playing it safe with middle-of-the-road jokes and softball interviews.

Austin-based writer-director Bob Byington's "Somebody Up There Likes Me" is a difficult film to describe, but easily inspires a deep sense of affection and connection. Words such as offbeat, charming or, Lord help us, quirky are wildly overused and yet this is exactly the kind of film to which they best apply. Covering some 35 years, with animated transitional sequences, the story follows Max Youngman (Keith Poulson) and his reluctant only friend Sal ("Parks and Recreation" costar Nick Offerman, also a producer)

The addiction drama "Smashed" is a variation on "Days of Wine and Roses" that's both down and dirty and boisterously energetic. It's also one of those showily unassuming movies, using a working-class setting (Highland Park, an unfamiliar and welcome screen location) and busy handheld camerawork to insist on its authenticity. At its center is a young Angeleno couple, played by Mary Elizabeth Winstead and Aaron Paul, who are united in drinking and divided by her recovery. "Smashed" opens strong, smack in the middle of a hangover, and in a couple of headlong sequences, Winstead's Kate hits bottom.

Actors Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman , who put their house in the Hollywood Hills West up for sale this week at $12.65 million, might want to send a thank you card to the new neighbors for the great "comp. " Last month, 31-year-old twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss — who won a $65-million cash-and-stock settlement in 2008 over claims that Mark Zuckerberg stole their idea to create Facebook — bought the contemporary house next door for $18 million. The newly constructed two-story has retractable walls of glass opening to views of downtown L.A. and an infinity swimming pool with a shallow-water shelf for chaise longues.
