    I Have Taken The Time To Compare The "New Girl" Stars When We First Met Them To Now, And I'm Here To Report That All Of Jess's Love Interests Are Still Hot — Including And Especially Nick Miller

    I need a spinoff or weekly reunion selfies — SOMETHING.

    It's bittersweet to break it to you kids, but it's been exactly 10 years since the premiere of the beloved sitcom New Girl.

    Yup, the first episode of the hit Fox show debuted on Sept. 20, 2011 — which is when we first saw the lovable and wholesome loft dynamic between the quirky Jess and besties Nick, Schmidt, and Winston blossom.

    In honor of this jubilant occasion and cause for celebration, here's a list of all of the show's stars then vs. now. Ready? OK. 1, 2, 3, 4, JFK!

    Zooey now — still rocking her culture-shifting bangs.

    2. Jake Johnson as Nick Miller

    Jake now — looking hot as ever with his full beard.

    3. Max Greenfield as (Winston) Schmidt
