Why Jamie Lee Curtis Says She "Hated" Filming New Girl
Curtis says she pushed for a broadcast sitcom because she loves the multi-camera format and says free TV still reaches viewers who cannot afford streaming.
- At the Summer Backlot Experience on Monday, Jamie Lee Curtis introduced her new NBC multi-camera sitcom "Newlyweds," which stars Tea Leoni and Tim Daly as a couple marrying impetuously after a whirlwind courtship.
- Curtis, who has "begged" agents for a multi-camera project, admitted she "hated" filming single-camera shows like "New Girl," explaining, "Just like doing a movie. You know, you've got a camera crew."
- Executive produced by Gail Lerner, the sitcom features Curtis as the professor's ex-wife as NBC actively "reinvests in multi-cam" to bring back the "Must See" format for broader audiences.
- NBC scheduled "Newlyweds" to premiere Friday, October 23 at 8:30 p.m. ET, pairing it with another show to provide accessible free content where viewers can "have laughs and have feelings."
- Calling the show her "favorite job," Curtis embraced her role as the "HBIC"—"head b***h in charge"—emphasizing that "must see" free TV offers audiences comfort and connection during economic struggles.
