The seventh and final season of New Girl featured a surprise cameo from Prince, and the show’s star Zooey Deschanel explained upon the episode’s release in 2018 that she thought the appearance was a prank.”
“It was a highlight of my whole life,” she told chat show host Jimmy Kimmel. “It was amazing just to get to hang out with him. To the very last second, we weren’t sure if he was going to come to set… We were like, ‘I hope he’s the type that shows up’.”
She continued: “I got a cold email from his manager, and it was like the most on-brand Prince email ever — like too on-brand. It was like, ‘Hello, I am manager to legendary artist Prince. He is loving the show New Girl. He would like 2 B’ — you know, like, 2 B — ‘on the show.’ And I’m like, ‘This has to be a prank. There’s no way!'”
Modern Family, meanwhile, saw a guest appearance from Coldplay frontman Chris Martin in 2017. In the clip, Martin makes fun of his own fashion choices, telling the cast to “wear a short-sleeved t-shit over a long-sleeved one so people know you have multiple shirts.”
