During the show's flash-forward seventh season, it's revealed that poor long-suffering Jerry Gergich — who's also been called "Larry Gengurch," due to accidentally referring to himself by that name at one point, Larry and Terry during his time with the department — has finally been given his rightful name, Garry, thanks to Donna. The good times keep on rolling for the sweet-natured, but undoubtedly accident-prone, city employee as he's elected mayor of Pawnee after the interim mayor dies. During the finale's further flash-forward, Garry gets re-elected over and over and over, basking in the glory of finally being able to serve the city he loves so much. 

However, although Garry lives to 100, he ultimately perishes simply as a result of old age (rather than one of his many ailments). His legacy lives on, at least, thanks to Garry's indomitable spirit, which was evident even if his mean-spirited colleagues did their best to dampen it. Still, his surname is misspelled on Garry's gravestone. In an interview with Esquire, actor Jim O'Heir, who played Garry (he originally auditioned for Ron, however!) admitted his favorite episode was the finale. "I read that script, and they do something that I've never seen done in a sitcom. I just thought, They've nailed it," he gushed. And, on how you can avoid being the office Jerry, O'Heir advises, "Don't be a spiller. And understand the Internet."
