Show Description
The Mystery Hour with Jeff Houghton returns to The Englert for the second time. Hosted by Iowa City native Jeff Houghton, the uproarious late night talk show features music, interviews, and comedy. Joining Houghton for an interview will be special guest Jim O’Heir, from the sitcom, Parks and Recreation, which aired for seven seasons on NBC. O’Heir played the role of Jerry Gergich, and recently published a book, Welcome to Pawnee, Stories of Friendship, Waffles, and Parks and Recreation.

The Mystery Hour aired for 10 seasons on various FOX, ABC, NBC, & CW affiliates around the country before returning to a renewed focus on live and touring shows. During its time on television the show received 4 Emmy awards from the Mid-America chapter, a silver Telly Award, and a Webby nomination.
A portion of the proceeds from The Englert show will go toward Inside Out Reentry Community, which serves people returning to Johnson County after incarceration.
