The Lowdown
Greenfield’s fib accidentally became the best marketing a charity gala ever got. The loft gang roasting each other on stage is the reunion fans actually wanted, scripts or no scripts.
Key Takeaways
- Deschanel, Greenfield, Johnson, Lamorne Morris, Hannah Simone and Damon Wayans Jr. received the Rising Phoenix Award at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball on October 10 (The Hollywood Reporter).
- Greenfield hosted the event, which supports nonprofit Chrysalis (The Hollywood Reporter).
- There are no real plans for an on-screen New Girl reunion at this time, according to THR (The Hollywood Reporter).
The Story
The reunion followed Greenfield’s Today appearance in which he fibbed that creator Liz Meriwether had written “amazing” revival scripts, setting off jokes between Meriwether and the cast (The Hollywood Reporter).
“We especially would like to thank Max, who while organizing this announced that an actual New Girl reunion was happening and he made our lives so very annoying,” Deschanel said on stage. Greenfield apologized and noted it brought attention to Chrysalis (The Hollywood Reporter).
Johnson told THR that Greenfield “did such a bad job it was unbelievable,” adding that Greenfield texted him afterward to say he thought he’d done a bad job (The Hollywood Reporter).
