Jake Johnson (New Girl, Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, Self-Reliance) and Gareth Reynolds (The Dollop, also on New Girl) don't feel qualified to give strangers good advice. Most of their friendship over the last 15 years has been based around dumb bits, but they do (for better or worse) want to try to help people out. Like your friendly local bartender or your tipsy uncle at a family gathering, Jake and Gareth are on the caller's side and trying to help.

As much as I would love to see a reunion, or a season with them ten years older, or just like a looong episode where the couples all go on vacation together without the kids… Max and Jake are right, you need to be so careful to not ruin the original ending that you created (though tbh season 7 was not that strong in terms of writing)

[@madisonphillips3166]

You know what would be so funny, they did a party where they did their ten year Anniversary of them living together (tinfinity 😂) they could do a 20 year anniversary of them all being friends and call it twentiversary😅

[@hopeseekerCaleb]

"Oh, the old girl!" didn't get enough credit there.

[@kari9292]

Yep, if the new season isn’t them all in a senior living community being their hilarious selves, I don’t want it!

[@theheartofalexandria]

For real!!!

[@McKennaMcKayVlogs]

Several years ago, New Girl replaced Friends as my go-to “comfort show” I watched it live and now I rewatch through streaming services. It’s all of your cast chemistry and just equal parts friendship and weirdness that makes it so good. And even all of the guests, from Justin Long’s character to Dr. Sam, everyone just “got it” so well 👏🏼

[@ameliafoley9569]

I have it on my phone in under my computer while I work 😂 I don’t need to watch, I know what’s going on

[@alisong826]

Lmfaoooo”it was too much work for me” the most nick miller thing I’ve ever heard you say 7:48

[@RealThomasJames]

When Jake said he has a new found appreciation for the show because of new people finding it, it really made me self aware of my fandom. I only started watching it just to see what it was all about because it was on Netflix and I wanted to give a background-kinda-sitcom a shot for when I was playing video games and shit. I am now 100% certain I have watched/could quote/know more about this show from top to bottom than any sane person should. It's a comfort and an absolute gem, one of the best TV comedy shows ever made.

[@Conflixx-92]

I watched season 1 when it came out, season 2 when it came out, season 3 when it came out, season 5 when it came out, season 6 when it came out and season 7 when it came out. I've always loved this show from season 1. Even though season 2 and really 3 is where the shit actually gets started and accelerates into what I love about the show. At this point it's a running joke at work to throw random GIFs on Teams at me so I could explain the specific scene that the GIF is taken from. I can usually name the episode and what happens and only sometimes do I have trouble with recounting the scene that happened during that GIF. I had more trouble remembering a scene based on sound and words than I had based on video, which is impressive because the show doesn't film a lot of different areas... I even remember the scene that I had problems with... It was parent trap where Nick kissed Jess's mom and regretted it but would do it again. New Girl is my one sitcom obsession I can't get over. Nick, Schmidt, Winston, Jess, Cece and everyone else have no idea how much I love the characters. Neither do the real actors, but I love how real Nick Miller is to the actor and it gets confirmed everytime I watch an interview with him.

[@Ambereigh]

It’s crazy that max doesn’t realize that cece and Schmidt became the love story of the show. Zoey and nick were most definitely beloved but the love story OF THE SHOW?? 100% cece and Schmidt.

[@dacodahinegardner1149]

I agree with this, but I wonder if it might have been different for people watching it on air on a weekly basis 🤔

[@connorg.563]

So true. I still get teary eyed eve eye time I watched the wedding episode 😂❤

[@earthangel333]

@@dacodahinegardner1149I watched it as it came out and def turned into a Schmidt and cece love story after nick and Jess broke up

[@Ambereigh]

@@dacodahinegardner1149 I most definitely watched it live and we were obsesssssed with Schmidt and CeCe. In all honestly they were able to draw Nick and Jess so long because they kept us satisfied with cece and Schmidt. If they hadn’t there would have been a riot 😂

[@Ambereigh]

[@jasonbagnardi2985]

I can never un hear this now

[@chrislopes385]

OK, fine. I guess I'll rewatch New Girl. Again. For the like, 8th time? Fine. Twist my arm.

[@peytonmcdonnell6068]

Currently doing so 😂

[@NellieNutkins]

I’m 38 and it’s been such a comforting part of my go-to TV for years. It’s still hilarious. Still sweet. And at times. Super weird. New Girl is what it is I think because of the chemistry you guys had. The bits you improv. I mean just you guys specifically. Hard to imagine anyone else in those roles.

[@stephanieaberlich5098]

The ending of the show was the best I've EVER seen in a comedy sitcom. Specifically the last True American scene, that was GOLD! It had us laughing and crying. It showed their future and recalled their past. It continues to be one of my favorite scenes in ALL of TV. I do love the idea of Old Girl. I see Golden Girls but with the New Girl cast, when their kids have all left the nest. Instead of 29, it would be Schmidt yelling 79! LOL

[@BlashNah]

No it got to be 69!

[@Cao024]

Jake and Max I hope this gets to you, but man I just want to say I’ve been watching since 2013-14 and New Girl has been my favorite show of all time since then. My buddy in college showed it to me and I was hooked. Max is right, not only is the show imo the funniest show I’ve ever seen, but it makes you feel like you’re with a group of buddies when you watch it. Now that I’m 30 I relate even more to the show too. Thanks for making it and being a big part of my life over the years. Wish you guys the best in your careers, and would def love a reunion or more seasons if it would be possible. Thanks guys much love 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@valeriegruber8650]

This is and will always be my comfort zone. So many quick comedy moments. Also such a great show to see friends support each other.

[@IliasLiako]

New Girl deserved the big cast appearance and the big panel after the finale. Jumped in from the world premiere if the pilot and by the middle of the 1st season you could feel the magic.

[@Linsey009]

watched the show weekly as it aired on fox and stuck with it until the very end! still my favorite comfort show. the fact that you could tell that you guys genuinely just loved working together is a big reason why it's so beloved. so much of my sense of humor is because of this show so thank you forever for it!

[@josefinajordan1997]

Im 23 and discover the show like a year ago in KZbin clips and absolutely fell in love, LOVE the show, the characters, the stories, everything. I talked about it with my godfather (50 yrs old) and he had watched it too! New Girl truly is loved by many generations

[@adriennedyke]

tWeNtYnOiinE ... LOL.. I just turned 29 on June 15 anddd its what I call my "Schmidt year" 😭🤣😭🤣🤣🤣

[@jemima6771]

I'm 27 now and watched New Girl when it came out. I always loved it but it wasn't until I was living in my first share house that I rewatched during covid and became a huge fan from just how much I started to relate to it. It perfectly captures how life is hilarious and weird and unpredictable and how the friends that you live with that you maybe didn't know two years ago are suddenly people you can't imagine ever being without. I spent three years living in a house having to trick the landlord every quarter because we had an extra person not on the lease. I don't think you need to undo the end of the show but it's lovely to tune in and hear you guys talk about loving it as much as we do!

[@dammers89]

I'm in my mid thirties and I recently discovered new girl for the first time. I laughed, I cried, I found so much joy in this wonderful ensemble of characters. I love it!

[@Sheva.L]

Why did I need this podcast talk tho? Anything with more new girl or more talk about new girl with the cast and ESPECIALLY with you two….its just “home” watching it. How can I explain it? I love it so much!

[@arithebarbarian6756]

I agree new girl is my comfort show

[@JonScottWontStop]

Schmidt and CeCe is the best love story ever told. Proposing to her where he in the beginning told her he was going to marry her someday. 😭

[@jepjep216]

New Girl has been my comfort show for years now, and always will be❤❤❤❤

[@Heinlein.]

I think if it’s reunion show of them maintaining relationships while being parents and changing as kids get older. Doesn’t have to be a lot of scenes with kids but I can see Nick and Schmidt knowing all the girl talk in their teenage daughter’s lives.

[@poolhall9632]

Sam and Diane - ppl who got this reference ->>

[@Msgabrisia]

Yes but still seeing you guys together again would be amazing!

[@courtneymichelle333]

New Girl will always be my favourite show. You guys were all geniuses and still make me laugh just as hard as I did when the show was still airing on tv. Forever grateful for the show & cast. ♥

[@swgreen1975]

Loved this episode 🥰

[@usz28]

If this show ever leave streaming services I will 100% ne heartbroken. I legit watch the show on repeat over and over

[@romnaviche]

I'm so glad I discovered this channel! Jake Johnson is such a great story teller. He was on Justin Long's podcast a while back and had these funny stories about working on New Girl and about his dad. I went back and re-listened - so good.

[@miranda13c]

New Girl was such a great show and I still love rewatching it.

[@landraw969]

I’d say about every 6 months I have to rewatch New Girl from start to finish, just love it 🥰

[@randyandino1775]

Amazing series

[@KitKat-dg9ox]

I started watching it on Netflix before all the seasons were finished and it became my favorite show. Ive watched it so many times I’ve lose count.

[@elliottstoll4468]

WE NEED A REUNION. ASAP.

[@sweetmir00]

They could go back and focus on elaborations from side stories in the past before kids. But I’d also be interested in a younger show (similar to young Sheldon), where it focuses of Cece and Jess’ childhood friendship, and Jake and his crazy family dad drama and friendship with Winston.

[@keithn9253]

I'm currently rewatching it now lol

[@Bfrd25]

after college too. We found New Girl with kids. The show is so good guys

[@jacs8824]

I would be the happiest person in the world if I got a new girl reunion! So long as they write it well.

[@dancingpurpledogs]

I love New Girl. I have seen the whole series many, many times. I will always watch it, and I would love a reunion!

[@ericmacgillivray537]

Straight up one of my favourite shows

[@mandy7674]

I watch New Girl in it's entirety at least twice a year and casually throughout. I love it so much! It's such a great show for anybody that's starting over..

[@SINIESTRA]

I’m just binging the show now I’m on season three and I found you

[@J.e.m85]

I always come back to rewatching New Girl ❤

Anyone know the episode they're referring to about the ridiculous running to a garbage can around the 9 minute mark?

We do need a reunion

[@Princessdara1]

I’m 23 and have loved New girl for ever❤️❤️❤️😭 Nick was always my fav & Schmitt was 2nd fav❤️😍😍😍😍 love y’all

[@James-semaJ]

Epic show!

[@reynelorenzo4095]

The best show in my opinion. I've watched it through and through at least 5 times since it's came out. Its a movie you can watch over and over

[@myrojyn]

Hannah Simone & Max Greene were so great on New Girl

[@amyjoyce7278]

I would love for Max, Jake and Lamorne watch every episode and do commentary and behind the scenes stories and Zoe and Hannah and Damon can be guests now and again. I think 1. It would be hilarious 2. It would bring new girl back without bringing back a new season and it potentially not being as good. I absolutely adore New Girl and any chance I see Jake and Max together I watch ❤

[@matthewdillon8682]

The greatest 3 new characters Schmidt, Nick and the pre school Security guard from the final season

[@christiewells2140]

I watched New Girl when it first came out and freaking loved it! Still to this day I walk away from awkward situations Nick Miller style and I also say you have some Schmidt on your face.

[@thelonestarx5s767]

Did they talk about that epic Tenessee Mornings interview?

[@amyt7897]

I can’t think of a better time to come out with a new show to add on. I wouldn’t wait, now is the time.

[@noelhuerta8309]

I only watched new girl I think on Netflix i no longer remember but I remember coach 😢

[@MegaBawse]

😂 Jake, you don’t text Damon????!!

[@soul_asmr]

Honestly : *Quite* desperate for you guys to just pull a Will & Grace -- (pretend the end didn't happen, and just carry on like you would have) like most of us millennials do NOT have it together rn so you could do as wild or tame of a concept as you want to keep the gang together and keep the same vibe going

[@DendyJungle]

Jake wasnt in freaks and geeks? He isnt david krumholtz?

[@sirtreebeard8106]

To be honest the relationships drove me nuts, when nick and Jess broke up essentially because Jess couldn’t handle Nicks bad habits felt like it didn’t make sense. Then Schmidt breaking up with Cici for no real reason, eventually get back together, then Schmidt cheats on her, blames nick and Jess in a way and swears he will mess their relationship up. That whole arc was annoying and I wish it was more chandler/Monica storyline. Also please don’t do a reboot. Or some storyline where their marriages get rocky or whatever. If you do another show or movie, do it without unnecessary drama just so you have a storyline.

[@lenorsonline]

Is New Girl still on Netflix in the US? Cause over here in Asia it's on Disney+

[@Shwee113]

Hulu these days

[@ashleytorres7974]

Why is this only 17 minutes 😢

Jar schmidt!

[@karlw8K]

America needs a New Girl reunion!!!!

[@nickbailey202]

I would bet that everyone in my house has independently watched the entire new girl series at least three times

[@WoodworkJourney]

I definitely don’t want to see a reunion. I LOVE New Girl and rewatch all of it at least once a year. A new series or film where the kids have gone off to college and is still centred around the main cast would be great, but, there’s too much money in the game now and the networks would 100% ruin it (just look at Frasier). New Girl was perfect 99% of the time, we need that legacy to remain unbroken. Also the cast’s inexperience back then brought the realness we identified with, I honestly don’t think that could be replicated now because (and this is an odd statement), the cast Is too professional and would over think it subconsciously. As much as I’d love another bunch of seasons, I can’t see a world where that wouldn’t be a huge mistake and ruined by a network cash grab - wouldn’t be the fault of the cast btw, but the people with the money have the last say

[@natalimonroe2986]

Yeah, it’s hard to go back and do a reboot or reunion show. Don’t do what Gilmore Girls did. I feel like they tried but those extended episodes they did ruined the show.

[@tinoshreds]

I pay Disney $17/month to watch new girl every night.. sheeshhh … worth it

[@saraahsachi]

I remember when New Girl was running on TV but Netflix had me in chokehold. Stopped watching tv but a certainly enjoyed being able to binge it. Didn’t have to wait for the next episode. Honestly the show is in my top two (that and The Office). Planning to buy the full set to keep. I dislike that it’s on Hulu now 😭

[@iloveeelau]

Honestly the best part of new girl was that the show was progressive and modern without it being annoyingly liberal and woke. If the show became woke in the later seasons it would’ve killed it. I’m so glad the show ended before it got there. As much as I would want to see it happen that’s why I’m skeptical about a reunion.
