Jamie Lee Curtis appeared at NBCUniversal's Summer Backlot Experience on Monday to promote her new NBC sitcom Newlyweds, which she co-created, executive produces and guest stars in, and while there made a comment about New Girl that spread significantly faster than she anticipated. "I did a single-camera comedy, which I hated," she said, referring to New Girl, where she appeared in six episodes as Zooey Deschanel's mother between 2012 and 2018. She clarified she was simply explaining how much she loves performing live in front of a studio audience versus a camera crew that stays silent.
