As a long-time fan of New Girl, I couldn’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia watching Max Greenfield and Damon Wayans Jr.’s reactions to Lamorne Morris’ Emmy win. It was like stepping back into the world of Schmidt, Coach, and Winston all over again. Their heartfelt congratulations felt like they were straight out of an episode of the show, and I couldn’t help but chuckle at Greenfield’s DMV plotline – now, that sounds like something Winston would get himself into!
Lamorne Morris earned the great honor of being one of the 2024 Emmys winners during last weekend’s telecast. The actor is best known for playing Winston Bishop in New Girl, but after receiving major acclaim for his role in the latest season of Fargo, he earned the award for the first time for “Outstanding Supporting Actor In A Limited Or Anthology Series Or Movie.” Now, two of his New Girl costars just reacted to the award, and they are emulating their New Girl roles. Big time.
Max Greenfield and Damon Wayans Jr, who are known for their roles as Schmidt and Coach on the TV show New Girl, along with Lamorne Morris, spoke to ET about Lamorne’s recent win during a break from hosting the comedy special CBS Presents: You’re Laughing at CBS: A Night of ‘Sit-Down’ Comedy. Here are their reactions.

As soon as Lamorne Morris came up in conversation, it seemed like these two actors slipped effortlessly into their characters from New Girl. They revealed they had been communicating with Morris recently about the award, and Greenfield even video-called him alongside Jake Johnson (also known as Nick Miller). To their surprise, Morris informed them he was going to be at the DMV the following day for an unexplained reason. (Doesn’t that sound like a typical Winston situation?)
Wayans Jr. additionally disclosed that he had messaged Morris, expressing his belief that he could potentially emerge victorious (quite prescient of him).
Following the TikTok video, numerous viewers expressed their admiration in the comment section, likening Greenfield and Wayans Jr.’s interaction to that of Schmidt and Coach, as they discussed their co-star. Here’s a glimpse of what some people said:
- “the congratulations felt very Schmidt” – @spideyhyde
- “the head on the shoulder is so schmidt coded 😭😂😂😂” @barbieee..f
- “this is just Schmidt and Coach, did they even act on the show?” -@c0ach_finstock
- “They are all their characters in real life” -@imetgabrielle
- “This is just an episode of new girl they ARE their characters” – @spiderpuff_
If you spend seven seasons playing a role in “New Girl,” much like these two actors did, it’s likely that the character becomes part of you, or vice versa, or perhaps both. It doesn’t hurt that their sitcom is incredibly rewatchable, which makes viewers feel as if they truly know these actors.
In any case, Lamorne Morris was fortunate enough to take home an Emmy after his initial nomination for the prestigious award. Take a look at his amusing acceptance speech, in which he playfully jabbed at his daughter.
It’s quite an impressive feat for the actor, given that he was nominated alongside heavyweights like Robert Downey Jr., Jonathan Bailey, Tom Goodman-Hill, John Hawkes, Lewis Pullman, and Treat Williams. What makes it even more special is seeing his former castmates from “New Girl” expressing their pride, and it’s heartwarming to know they still keep in touch.
Currently, you have the opportunity to enjoy episodes of “New Girl” as well as Lamorne Morris’ Emmy-awarded performance in “Fargo”. This can be done by subscribing to Hulu. Many congratulations to Lamorne Morris on his achievement!
