Zooey Deschanel: Sings with Prince on New Girl and is given love advice

Prince does a cameo on the hit sitcom New Girl, and he sings with Jess, played by Zooey Deschanel .

Prince portrays the persona of a cool guy on the show. In fact, he is cooler than any character in the series. In a scene with Zooey, he tries to sex-up Jess whilst giving her some love advice. The singer beat her hard at a ping-pong match and fed Jess some pancakes.

In addition to all these, Prince and Jess sang a song together. In the scene, Deschanel leads the song with Prince.

According to E! News, the singer is downright obsessed with the show. Prince isn't just a fan but a Nick and Jess Shipper. New Girl Executive Producer Brett Baer said about Prince "He contacted us last season because he's a huge fan." He adds "He knows everything about the show. He contacted Zooey and Hannah directly and asked to do the show."

It seems that Fox has wanted to get Prince to appear on the show since last year, and this year, their wish was granted. It's also impeccable timing for Prince since New Girl was given this year's coveted spot after the Super Bowl. A self-proclaimed fan of the show, Prince gamely agrees to appear and even had suggestions for his guest spot.

According to executive producer Dave Finkel, Prince said to him "I want to be involved in the show in a real way and I want to help Nick and Jess with their relationship,"

So, can Prince hold his own in the show? Apparently, he can and he is genuinely funny, according to Finkel. "He's got a very quiet, wry sense of humor but he kills."
