Desperate times call for desperate measures.
That's what New Girl fans can expect to see when the Fox hit returns on Jan. 6: desperate times and desperate measures.
The desperate times? "There's construction going on outside the loft and it's disrupting the group," Max Greenfield previews in our exclusive sneak peek at "Shark" above. The desperate measures? Councilwoman Fawn Moscato (Zoe Lister Jones), who Schmidt will attempt to seduce in order to fix their construction woes. The results? Hilarious...and Hillary Clinton inspired?!
"Schmidt tries to use his sexuality to influence her and it doesn't work," Greenfield says in the exclusive video above. Why doesn't it work? Moscato "is far more sexual than Schmidt."
And it turns out Moscato may have big political plans for Schmidt, whom she asks, "Has anyone ever told you you look like a Jewish Kennedy?" Greenfield teases, "Schmidt sees a real end game here, and that's being the First Man of the White House."
And Schmidt's relationship role models? Bill Clinton and Hillary! "This could be a real Bill and Hillary situation," he tells Jess (Zooey Deschanel). "I'm Hillary!"
Hm...New Girl spinoff focusing on Schmidt in the White House? We're in!
New Girl returns Tuesday, Jan. 6 at 9 p.m. on Fox.
