Jamie Lee Curtis added some context as to why her experience filming “New Girl” was “awful.” Curtis made waves earlier this week when she opened up about the particularly tough aspects of doing the show. The 67-year-old actor made it clear that her problems resided with how the show was filmed ― not with the people or the show itself. “It’s a great show, ‘New Girl.’ Very funny, but doing it is just like doing a movie,” she said Monday at NBCUniversal’s Summer Backlot Experience. “You know, you’ve got a camera crew, and nobody laughs. It’s silent and it’s awful. For me ― awful. Single-camera comedies, for me, not fun.” Curtis addressed her original comments in an Instagram post shared on Tuesday after her remarks went viral. “HEY INTERNET! HI! As if we don’t have bigger issues facing Americans and the world at large and natural disasters and unnatural behaviors of despots than to be concerned about a flip comment picked up at a press moment promoting NEWLYWEDS @NBC,” Curtis shared.“I was there gushing about a multi camera sitcom that I co-created along with Gail Lerner about a late in life love and people finding each other and marrying on a whim,” she said. She said she and her co-stars “are having so much fun and the audiences are loving it,” which explains how her comments about “New Girl” came about.“I was comparing how much I liked doing the show live in front of a studio audience, which is almost like doing a play where you get immediate feedback, to the experience of doing a single camera comedy like NEW GIRL where there’s absolutely no feedback, as you’re trying to do comedy in a [vacuum],” she said. “I said it wasn’t my favorite experience although the show itself is fantastic and the team that made it are talented and that Zooey Deschanel is an absolute gem of a human and said I got to play with my friend, Rob Reiner, as exes and that was sweet and lovely,” Curtis added.She asked readers to “not waste clicks and comments and just move on to WAY more important things. That will be all.”
