Combining his trademark comic voice and genuine expertise in woodworking–he runs his woodshop–Paddle Your Canoe features tales from Offerman’s childhood in small-town Minooka, Illinois–“I grew up literally in the middle of a cornfield”–to his theater days in Chicago, beginnings as a carpenter/actor and the hilarious and magnificent seduction of his now-wife Megan Mullally.
