Changes: Perd Hapley

Revision as of 00:54, 31 March 2019

Perderick L. Hapley, or more commonly Perd Hapley, is a Pawnee television journalist and host of the television news programs Ya Heard? With Perd!, The Final Word With Perd, Lights, Camera, Perd, a movie review show, on Channel 4! and The Perdples Court, a court show where Perd judges a problem people have in Indiana. He is also the host of a news segment called "Are You There, Perd-verts? It's Me Perd, Hosting a New Segment". He often speaks in awkward tautological and semantically redundant news anchor phrases and run-ups like "Issue number one is the first issue we're going to talk about", "The statement this reporter has, is a question", and "Also joining us today is a different person". Like other reporters on Parks and Recreation, Perd often serves as a parody of the pack mentality of the media and their tendency to generate scandals.
