Zooey Deschanel Interviewed On ‘Jimmy Kimmel’

Zooey Deschanel was on Jimmy Kimmel Live last night to promote New Girl.  The show just wrapped its first season, and while this interview discusses the absence of a second season renewal, the show is pretty much a lock for another year as its ratings tower above other live-action comedies on the network.  Some networks tend to use pickups strategically to generate press for weaker pickups by pairing them in the same news release.  This ultimately results in a bundled article on news blogs that will simultaneously cover renewals for multiple shows.  The logic behind it is simple:  Get viewers thinking the series’ are in the same class.
