New Girl going to keep casting guest stars until it starts to feel better
Like a recently dumped thirtysomething trying to fill the Damon Wayans Jr.-shaped hole in its heart, New Girl continues to joylessly binge on announcing a slate of high-profile guest stars for the show’s fifth season. We already knew that a Selfie-free John Cho was set to appear, along with family unit Henry Winkler, Julie Hagerty, and Taran Killam. Now, one of Killam’s former SNL co-stars has also signed on for at least one episode: Portlandia creator and TV guest star extraordinaire Fred Armisen. Armisen will play an Airbnb renter who ends up staying in the loft as part of the roommates’ money-making schemes, and who will definitely turn out to be completely normal, because why else would you cast Fred Armisen?
