Our first guest is the incredible Jake Kasdan. He directed the first two episodes of New Girl and even received an Emmy nomination for his work on the pilot. This week, he'll share his version of the auditioning process, what it was like breaking the first script with New Girl creator Elizabeth Meriwether, and he'll dig into the back of Nick's closet for his favorite memory of his time on the show. Jake also walks us through what it was like to bring back Jumanji as a series and his time on Freaks and Geeks! If you'd like to ask us a question, please send an email to [email protected].
