It seems like the whole gang is finally growing up.
Winston’s proposing to Aly, Nick published his book.
I wouldn’t say that we fully have our s together.
I don’t think any of the characters have changed, I just think their circumstances have gained responsibility.
I feel like of all the characters, Schmidt has probably changed the most.
Do you ever miss playing playboy Schmidt?
It takes away a very fun aspect of playing the character.
Speaking of Cece, what’s next for Schmidt and Cece?
It’s so hard to imagine throw in-A Schmidt changing a baby’s diaper.
I can only imagine they’ve gotta have kids at some point.
So where are they headed in the rest of this season?
They’re both set on moving into this house.
And it’s a big moment they would be the first people from the loft to move out.
Jess still has feelings for Nick, but he’s dating Reagan now.
Are you Team Reagan or Team Jess?
How can I choose?
So I’m Jess.
You gotta be.
Part of what makes Schmidt so funny are his one-liners.
Do you have a favorite?
His lack of knowledge really makes me laugh.
This is not a real person."
I can’t say Jay Cutler normally anymore.
It’sJay Cut-uh-lernow I can’t do it any other way.
That was one of my favorites, that one got me.
How did you come up with the way he talks?
It’s so distinct and it’s so funny.
Was that all you?
And so I went to a bunch of dialect coaches and really worked on that accent.
It’s like pronouncing full letters in the middle of words.
And no one else laughs.
Oh, come on, really?
Once in a while, Lamorne [Morris] will laugh, Lamorne will indulge me.
Like, “Oh, he’s doing it again.”
On Tuesday’s episode, Gordon Ramsay is a guest star.
Did he cook for you guys on set?
He’s so nice and so generous.
He’s a real mensch.
I’ve gotten really intoMasterChef Junior, oh my god, that’s a good show.
My daughter and I watch it now together.
I know, he’s so nice to the kids!
He’s so nice because I think that show is so much easier for him.
All of my experiences with him have been just pure generosity and kindness.
He’s the best.
And by the way, did you know he runs like, Iron Mans?
I didn’t know that.
He’s a superhero.
What do they do, Man Crush Mondays on the internet?
And he’s a good therapist, to boot.
I’m telling you, I’m all in on this guy.
Oh god, I hope not.
Everyone would die of alcohol poisoning.
I don’t know that we’re ready to jump around on couches and accuse people of fake news.
We’ll sing like a fun jingle about Betsy DeVos.
I’m not into it.
Do you have anything else you want to add about the rest of season?
I’m just excited.
I think it feels like we’re maybe starting to wind things down.
It’s a nice feeling.
New Girlairs Tuesdays at 8 p.m.
