Usher stopped by Pawnee to get some tips from his friends in the Parks Department as he prepares for his new role as coach on The Voice. Hilarity ensues.

What better place than the Parks Department in Pawnee, IN to prepare for your reality TV coaching debut?  Leslie and the gang know the ins and outs of that iconic red spinning chair, and they will make sure Usher knows what’s up before The Voice debuts next Monday.

In the video, Tom is unsurprisingly starstruck by the appearance of the R&B superstar in the Parks Department. Chris Traeger, LIT-rally the most unstable man in Pawnee, does his best to help, but cracks under the pressure. Andy falls down (again), Jerry is useless, and April terrifies Usher into apologizing to her for no reason.

Usher even winds up sharing a special moment with Donna, as he somehow finds himself sitting on Donna’s lap, in the big red chair.  Treat Yo Self, indeed!

Check out this behind-the-scenes look at Usher having fun on the set of Parks and Rec:

We recently got our first look at the new coaches in action on The Voice, and it certainly looks like it will be an exciting, entertaining, and very competitive season.

Which Parks and Rec character do you think would make the best coach on The Voice?  Are you excited for Usher’s big debut?
