Earlier today (January 20), Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Soon after, ‘Leslie Knope’ started to trend on social media as fans remembered the time Biden met Knope, played by Amy Poehler, who was a Biden super-fan in the show.
Parks And Recreation ran for seven seasons on NBC between 2009 and 2015.

The two first met in a 2012 episode when Biden made a cameo. Knope’s line from their meeting, “This isn’t real, this isn’t happening,” started to trend on social media this afternoon, as did clips from the time Biden made a second cameo on the show in 2015, with his wife and now-first lady, Dr Jill Biden.
