Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeLiz Meriwether never got around to asking Amanda Seyfried if she was a “New Girl” fan.
Meriwether, who created the long-running comedy, is also behind “The Dropout,” starring Seyfried. But Meriwether says she stopped talking about the show when too many people told her they didn’t even have a TV. “I always took it to mean, ‘I have a television, but I’ve chosen not to watch your show,'” Meriwether says. “But I also got a lot of, ‘my girlfriend loves your show!'”Turns out Seyfried did watch “New Girl,” and was a fan. “I remember meeting Zooey [Deschanel] back when she started the show… And I remember being a big fan of hers because she got that balance between awkwardness and total deadpan truth.
And you are the man of course behind the curtain,” Seyfried told Meriwether on the latest edition of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast. “You put a lot of people in business for many years because of that writing.
And because it was different… You brought people together with that character. Totally relatable to every single person.” Seyfried and Meriwether discuss their collaboration on Hulu’s “The Dropout,” which included striking the right balance between drama and comedy.
