The cast had an unexpected run-in with former Speaker of the House Newt Gingrich while filming in Indianapolis for January 17th's "Two Parties" episode, and worked him into the scene.

In the scene, the boys have ended up moving Ben's (Adam Scott) bachelor party from Pawnee to Indianapolis, where they'll run into Gingrich.

In pictures released by NBC, Jerry (Jim O'Heir) and Tom (Aziz Ansari) appear to be chatting up the former speaker at pretty fancy looking restaurant.

Other photos released ahead of the episode appear to show the guys, including Andy (Chris Pratt), Chris (Rob Lowe) and Ron (Nick Offerman) on the field at the Indianapolis Colts Lucas Oil Stadium, with owner Jim Irsay.

Parks and Recreation, even just this season, has had a string of famous faces make cameo appearances on the show, including Sens. Barbara Boxer, Olympia Snowe and John McCain, Vice President Joe Biden and Christie Brinkley, who stepped in to play Jerry's wife.
