"the set up" was directed by troy miller and written by katie dippold. it featured guest appearances by will arnett as mri technologist chris and justin theroux as ann's lawyer friend justin, arnett was at the time the real-life husband of amy poehler, who plays protagonist leslie knope. it was not poehler who arranged for him to be on the show, but rather "parks and recreation" co-creator michael schur, who is a good friend of arnett and felt he would be a good fit for the character. their date scenes marked the second on-screen pairing between a "parks and recreation" actor and their real-life spouse; megan mullally, the wife of actor nick offerman, guest starred as ron swanson's ex-wife tammy in the episode, "ron and tammy". although theroux was slated to make appearances in multiple "parks and recreation" episodes, arnett was scheduled to appear only in "the set up". "the set up" also marked the first of several recurring appearances by ben schwartz as tom's friend jean-ralphio saperstein. schur said the character was invented because the "parks and recreation" staff liked the actor and tried to find a way to work him into the show.
