Well if you think you’re gonna have it bad this Thanksgiving, take some comfort in the mess that is Schmidt’s cornucopia of crazy when his long-absent father (Peter Gallagher) returns for the holiday. In this exclusive clip from Tuesday night’s New Girl episode, it’s clear that “Papa” isn’t in a good place—in fact, he’s in the bathroom—and even the passive-aggressive attentions of his son (Max Greenfield) aren’t enough to boost his mood. So cheers, gang. You may not have the worst Thanksgiving, after all!
