New Girl was one of the most successful comedy TV shows in recent times. One of the best aspects of the show was the fact that the actors were allowed to improvise lines and scenes. That’s how the iconic kissing scene between Nick and Schmidt ended up happening.

When Schmidt finds out that Nick is dealing with a health scare, he ends up grabbing him and kissing him “Godfather style” right on the mouth. Max Greenfield, who played Schmidt, admitted that the unexpected kiss took actor Jake Johnson by surprise and was even a little uncomfortable for him. As the two continued working together for years, Johnson eventually grew accustomed to Greenfield’s style.
