The former Daily Show correspondent, who currently stars in the procedural-spoofing Adult Swim comedy NTSF:SD:SUV:: and also memorably played a smarmy P.E. teacher in the box office smash 21 Jump Street (co-starring New Girl‘s Jake Johnson), will turn up in a Thanksgiving themed episode airing in November.
Riggle was recently tapped to join Fox’s NFL Sunday pre-game coverage.
New Girl kicks off its second season on Tuesday, Sept. 25.
