Prince is coming to New Girl!

The music icon is set to appear in the Fox comedy's Super Bowl episode, and will interfere with the show's much-loved coupling of Nick (Jake Johnson) and Jess (Zooey Deschanel), sources confirm to E! News.

This marks Prince's first-ever appearance on a TV comedy, and he will be playing himself.

We're told that Prince is a fan of New Girl and asked to come on the show a while ago. Fox execs felt that the episode airing after the Super Bowl would be the perfect time. Brooklyn Nine-Nine also has a cushy Super Bowl spot, which we just talked to boss Mike Schur about, in the wake of Brooklyn and Parks' Golden Globe nominations today.
