This Lord of the Rings Character Quietly Replaced Wormtongue (and It’s Not Who Fans Think)

When Gandalf arrived in Edoras, he cured Théoden by removing the influence of Saruman from his mind. Immediately after the king recovered, he banished Wormtongue from the Golden Hall of Meduseld, and would have killed him if Aragorn hadn’t intervened. Exposed as a traitor, Wormtongue fled back to Saruman in Isengard.

14 Years Later, The Greatest Improv Line in Sitcom History Is Still Untouchable

Season 3 of Parks and Recreation marked a significant shift for the show. Mark Brandanawicz was written off, while Ben and Chris, played by Adam Scott and Rob Lowe, became central characters. Chris Pratt really came into his own, often improvising lines as his character, Andy Dwyer.
