New Girl had lots of memorable guest stars over the course of its seven seasons on-air, and while it seems difficult to imagine any character swooping into the New Girl universe who could outshine Jess, Schmidt, Nick, Cece, and Winston, some of the show's hilarious guest stars definitely left a lasting impression.

From Jamie Lee Curtis and Rob Reiner guest-starring as Jess's angrily divorced parents to The O.C 's Adam Brody playing the role of Jess's oblivious ex-boyfriend, New Girl's guest stars had a variety of functions in the show's narrative, yet they all brought something new to the series.

The beloved sitcom remains popular, thanks not only to its main ensemble, but also its extensive list of fantastic guest characters.
