He’s the genius behind Ron Swanson on Parks and Recreation. She’s the genius behind Karen on the soon-to-be-resurrected Will & Grace. But Nick Offerman and Megan Mullally are even more genius as a pair, married since 2003 and touring together for the Epix network’s Summer of 69: No Apostrophe variety special based on that marriage. Oh, and engaging in the kind of natural, witty repartee that you and your significant other have absolutely no prayer of matching.

GQ: [via Skype] You’re Skyping from bed!

Megan: Post-coital.

Nick: Post- and pre-coital.

Megan: Yeah, we just needed a break.

You guys found each other relatively later in life, yes?

Megan: Well, later in my life, earlier in his. When we met, I was 41, and I’d always had younger guys pursue me, and I was really sick of it. And so I met Nick and I thought, Oh, great,’cause this guy’s like 38! Turns out he was 29. And I was pissed.

You just assumed he was older?

Megan: Yeah—I thought he looked old! And he was mature, so when I found out he was 29, I said these two words: YOU MOTHERFUCKER. And I almost ran my car off the road.

Have you ever demanded facial hair on Nick so he appears older than he is?

Megan: No, but he recently, as you can see, shaved.

Nick: It was like kissing a nest.

Megan: Yeah, we did a lot of nest-kissing, and now I’m ready for some lips.

Do you feel the need to be “on” when you’re together and in public? Is there an over-expectation that you two will have witty banter at the ready?

Nick: There’s two schools of thought in our circle. There are the comedy people, where everything’s a bit. They’re often a lot of fun, but it can become a bit tiresome. And there are those of us that… We’re certainly fun- loving, but it’s in a much more natural way than always doing a song and dance.

Were you surprised by the way you guys interact as a couple, that you would have this fun rapport between you?

Megan: No, not really surprised. That was the first thing that attracted me to Nick. We were doing a play together in East L.A. And in between the scenes, when the director was talking to the other actors, we would do stuff to crack each other up. I was starting to think that Nick was really, really funny, and then I started thinking, “Wait, is he sexy?” So it went in that order.
