We know what Jess' sister would look like if she had one, and now we know who her parents are!

Rob Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis have been tapped to play Jess' parents on "New Girl", TVGuide.com has confirmed.



Bob and Joan will pop up during the Thanksgiving-themed episode, in which Jess (Zooey Deschanel) tries to get her divorced parents back together using a "parent trap."

The holiday episode is a family affair since Reiner and Curtis will appear in the same episode as Rob Riggle, who will play Schmidt's (Max Greenfield) cousin.



"New Girl" returns with two new episodes on Tuesday, Sept. 25 on Fox.

Micheal Stivick, a University of Santa Cruz professor has noted that television was made for the vapid masses who are ignorant of the real world and use the idiot box as an escape mechanism.

But he's a meathead, so what does he know.

Exclusive First Look: Jamie Lee Curtis and Rob Reiner Come to "New Girl" as Jess’ Parents!

Look who's coming to Thanksgiving dinner on "New Girl": Jamie Lee Curtis and Rob Reiner!

The comedy vets will pop up on the holiday-themed episode as Jess' (Zooey Deschanel) divorced parents, and TVGuide.com has the exclusive first look of them on set.



"They've been divorced for a really long time," creator Liz Meriwether tells us.

"They haven't really seen each other in a while. She tries to Parent Trap them. She tries to get them back together. Obviously it's a flawed plan. Her mom is very much like her. Jamie Lee Curtis gets to be this quirky, Jess-like character, which is going to be really fun. Rob Reiner is her dad who's the straight man to all of the women in his life's craziness and thinks that they're all a little bit nuts.

I am totally nervous because they are my comedy heroes and it's just so exciting to be able to work with them."
