Executive producer Liz Meriwether sounds pretty excited about the temporary swap, saying:
“It’s insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it. I’ve been a fan of her comedic skills since This is 40, and I’m so excited to have her on the show. We had Megan in mind when we wrote this part – she’s the perfect person to come in and shake these guys up.”
New Girl fans may be bummed out by this news, but since the show has become solid ensemble comedy, it should be able to survive without Deschanel for a little bit. Or it will wildly spiral into cancellation. We’ll just have to wait and see.
