10 Best Recurring Parks And Recreation Characters

3. Councilman Jeremy Jamm

Ron And Tammy Parks And Rec
NBC

Jeremy Jamm is not easily summed up in a few words. If you were to try, words like selfish, conceited and delusional would easily apply. When Leslie finally reaches City Hall, she runs afoul of Councilman Jeremy Jamm, her exact opposite in many ways. An orthodontist, Jamm never hesitates to use his position on City Council to promote his business or line his pockets in other ways.

One of his plans involving a new Paunch Burger was temporarily foiled by Leslie's ally, Ken Hotate. As a result of her interference, Jamm tried to ruin Leslie and Ben's wedding, a plan that earned him a punch in the face from Ron. Despite all of this, Jamm somehow still views Leslie as his best friend.
