Jamie Lee Curtis<\/strong><\/a> has clarified her comments on working as a guest star on the Fox sitcom New Girl<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs if we don\u2019t have bigger issues facing Americans and the world at large and natural disasters and unnatural behaviors of despots than to be concerned about a flip comment picked up at a press moment promoting Newlyweds<\/em> [on] NBC,\u201d Curtis, 67, wrote via Instagram<\/a> on Tuesday, August 11, alongside a photo of herself on the set of New Girl<\/em> with its star Zooey Deschanel<\/strong> and recurring star, the late Rob Reiner<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Curtis, who played Deschanel\u2019s Jess Day\u2019s mom, Joan Day, across multiple guest appearances on New Girl<\/em>, continued, \u201cI was there gushing about a multi-camera sitcom that I co-created along with Gail Lerner<\/strong> about a late-in-life love and people finding each other and marrying on a whim. It stars Tea Leoni<\/strong> and Tim Daly<\/strong> as the couple and we are having so much fun and the audiences are loving it and I was comparing how much I liked doing the show live in front of a studio audience, which is almost like doing a play where you get immediate feedback, to the experience of doing a single camera comedy like New Girl<\/em> where there\u2019s absolutely no feedback.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bear<\/em> star had addressed<\/a> her New Girl<\/em> experience during an NBC backlot experience staged in Los Angeles on Monday, August 10, describing her time on the show as like \u201cdoing a movie\u201d where nobody reacts to performances. \u201cIt\u2019s silent, and it\u2019s awful, for me, awful,\u201d she told fans at the event.<\/p>\n

The Fox series, which ran for seven seasons from 2011 to 2018, followed Jess Day (Zooey Deschanel), a quirky teacher who moves into a Los Angeles loft with three men \u2014 Schmidt (Max Greenfield), Winston [\u2026]\t\t<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

In her Instagram post, Curtis explained, \u201cI said it wasn\u2019t my favorite experience, although the show itself is fantastic and the team that made it are talented and \u2026 Zooey Deschanel is an absolute gem of a human and I said I got to play with my friend, Rob Reiner, as exes and that was sweet and lovely.\u201d<\/p>\n

She concluded the post, \u201cPlease, let\u2019s not waste clicks and comments and just move on to WAY more important things. That will be all.\u201d<\/p>\n
