“There’s something that I miss so much, which is why I never watch ‘Parks,'” Scott expressed during the podcast. “It just makes me sad. It makes me miss everybody. I don’t feel like I ever took it for granted because I was always appreciative of how lucky we were. It was just such a great place to go every day.”
