Character Dynamics and Filming Insights

“She comes to the bar where Nick works,” said her co-star Jake Johnson during a Screen Actors Guild Q&A in November 2012. “She’s got a scandalous job. It involves laps, and it involves dancing. Nick likes that because he’s not a damn idiot.”

“We’re shooting some really great stuff in a cabin right now,” he added about filming the second season. “We were with Dr. Sam and Olivia Munn shooting guns in a cabin.”

Episodes Featuring Olivia Munn

Olivia stars in the episodes “Bathtub,” “Santa,” and “Cabin,” which aired in December 2012 and January 2013. Born on July 3, 1980, in Oklahoma City, Olivia was 32 years old when the episodes aired and turned 33 on July 3, 2013.

Exploring Angie’s Impact on Nick

“Angie is a new love interest for Nick. She is someone who really gets Nick to get outside of his comfort zone and really throws inhibitions to the side and just do things that he never thought that he would do,” Munn told TV Guide about her New Girl character.

“She gets along with the whole group. She’s the kind of girl that has no problem finding fun in any place with anything, no matter if there are rules or regulations. It’s just about having fun and living life.”

Scheduling Conflicts and Departure

“Sad for Nick,” Olivia told She Knows about not being able to appear in more episodes due to scheduling conflicts. “But I’m over on The Newsroom. Maybe whenever my schedule frees up I can try to swing both.”

Olivia Munn’s Transition to The Newsroom

“I had to finish doing New Girl so I could start the second season on Newsroom,” Munn explained to Vulture. “In the TV world, one ends and we just have to end it abruptly. The schedule’s backed up so that’s a way to tie it up quickly.”
