I would unironically watch an hour long version of this scene with Ron just giving people advice and talking about himself.

[poslednisoud]

I like how Ron does not miss a beat going from "I'll just do this stupid promotion and go home" to "I guess I am a talk show host now."

[quartzuniverse]

"You're On With Ron" is the only news source I trust

[keithcaito]

“Your house isn’t haunted, you’re just lonely.”

Ron has me there. Also, I would watch a show hosted by Ron just taking questions.

[MikeMJPMUNCH]

I love that Joan would prefer to be on camera and unconscious than to be taken away to get help for her hangover.

[corsaircarl]

I actually did the butter baste thing for the steak.
Ron you did it again, you steered me in the correct direction.

[thelonewolf]

“You’re on with Ron!” That’s really catchy for doing it on the fly.

[uncreative]

"You?! You want to go on Joan Callamezzo's show and promote the gala?"
"I can speak coherently without crying."

[burdensdown]

I love how the tag line under his name keeps evolving until it's just his own show title

[kowaretatelesto]

i love how ron took over for a day and became a big hit and made the galla amazing because of it XD

Would’ve loved to see an episode where Ron is forced to begrudgingly care for a cat but gradually comes to respect it when he realizes how similar their personalities are.

[tomlewis]

"Any dog under 50 lbs. is a cat and cats are pointless."

The brilliance of Ron Swanson.

[arm]

As someone who had a 25lb dog that literally sat on the windowsill like a cat, can confirm.

[alaistairhamilton]

I love how Ron basically takes over without missing a beat and makes it a success.
On other news, I have the Swanson Pyramid of Greatness on my kitchen wall. When the day is hard to face, turn to the fountain of strength and wisdom and his teachings!

[bolo]

The thigh slap is such a subtle yet great character detail

[Xadov]

Funny thing is cats are like the animal equivalent of Ron Swanson: independent, self-sufficient, they don’t put up with nonsense just to please other people, they enjoy hunting and killing things (for both sport and survival), they are completely carnivorous, and they have no need for safety rules because they are not weak or stupid

[burakkomur]

"Grapes of Wrath, chocolate chip ice cream and Jhonny Cash."

I never thought I could respect him even more.

[globbyakaweirdjellyguy]

I would love to know more about Ron’s woodworking.😊
Joan’s moving position as the show goes on is hilarious.🤣

[DAKmyname]

As someone who's worked on news sets I'd like to confirm that it's actually pretty easy to come up with graphics like that, doesn't surprise me at all that someone made a fake show title and put it up because the host was unconscious.

[TheAngelThatCry]

The best part about the episode... it's that people indeed showed up to the gala after ron conquered everybody with his charisma
