• 'Parks and Recreation's Nick Offerman Sings about His Love of Whiskey in 'My Tales of Whisky' Video [WATCH]

    As 'Parks and Recreation's resident badass, Ron Swanson, Nick Offerman brings a whole new meaning to manhood. His character hates the government, crafts masterpieces out of wood and is a big fan of whiskey. Although Offerman isn't a complete carbon copy of Ron (I'm guessing Swanson would have a problem with someone who chose acting as a career choice), he is actually an accomplished woodworker. He also loves whiskey.

Head to @Snapchat (GMA_ABC) to see! pic.twitter.com/Bpn3xqaAov — Good Morning America (@GMA) December 4, 2014Despite it being at 8:50 a.m., the crowd was into it and was able and willing to dance to David Guetta and his group of instrumentalists. "GMA" wisely took the party inside, creating an intimate club atmosphere, since it was apparently 25 degrees Fahrenheit outside, according to ABC's thermometer, via "Do Androids Dance." It was probably the smallest audience Guetta has played to in years, as he is used to massive festival crowds and large, packed clubs.Guetta ditched his traditional DJ setup, instead opting for launchpads to trigger certain sounds in the song that would not be played by Sam Martin or the orchestra. Sam Martin shines on the piano, playing the topline from the track and singing the vocals with impressive style. The orchestra seemed slightly out of place with the whole set-up, but it was a good first attempt at doing it live.

  • U2's The Edge on Bono's Cycling Injuries: 'He Basically Can’t Move for the Next Couple of Months'

    Bono's injuries from a recent cycling accident were pretty bad. The U2 frontman had multiple surgeries after breaking some bones last month. That resulted in the band rescheduling their planned residency on "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon," and Bono had to sit out on the World AIDS Day performance earlier this week. The Edge spoke with Los Angeles radio station KROQ to update fans about the singer's condition."He managed to come out of it with what you can only describe as injuries from a car crash, literally multiple fractures of bones in his elbow and his back," he said. "But he's doing OK. We're kind of lucky he was wearing a helmet, so he didn't actually break Central Park. He's made of tough stuff and he's bouncing back."U2 was originally scheduled to play the radio station's Almost Acoustic Christmas concert, but they had to back out after Bono's accident. The singer is "so upset" about that, Edge noted."He's been told by his doctors to stay put. He's back in Dublin right now and he basically can't move for the next couple of months," he added. "The poor guy, basically his left elbow was shattered, so a lot of the work was reconstructing the joints and putting in wires and plates. He actually showed us some X-rays a couple days later, it looked like a miniature Eiffel Tower."
