New Girl: 12 Hidden Details You Might Have Missed

Nick Miller. Inspiration, role model, hopelessly inept at life. Nick is simply amazing, and Jake Johnson does an equally good job of bringing him to life on screen, although he only landed the role on a condition that he lost weight.
Speaking to Jay Leno on The Tonight Show, Johnson said: "I get a call from my manager, saying congratulations. You gotta lose 15 pounds before we start, because you’re too fat for Fox. I love Chicago food, but I got too fat for Fox." Thankfully Johnson made it to our screens and we're so glad he did.
