# Jamie Lee Curtis calls filming New Girl ‘awful’ and ‘not fun’ 2026-08-12T04:27:54+00:00 | Entertainment | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet Jamie Lee Curtis has said she “hated” working on the sitcom New Girl because its single-camera format made the process feel like making a film, with no live audience. The actor, who played Jess’s mother Joan Day in several episodes between 2012 and 2018, called the experience “awful” and “not fun” at NBCUniversal’s Summer Backlot Experience, as reported by Entertainment Weekly. Curtis, who won a Golden Globe for the multi-camera sitcom Anything But Love, has repeatedly said she prefers the energy of live audiences. Her new NBC comedy Newlyweds, produced by and starring Curtis alongside Téa Leoni and Tim Daly, is a multi-camera series set to premiere on October 23, 2026. ## Coverage - livemint.com Tags: Jamie Lee Curtis, NBC, New Girl, Newlyweds, sitcoms, television Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/jamie-lee-curtis-calls-filming-new-girl-awful-and-not-fun/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
