The New Girl Character Fans Wanted To Be A Permanent Addition

At least one person argued on the "New Girl" subreddit that Bearclaw (played by Josh Gad), the bizarre delivery driver Jess mistakenly goes on a date with in Season 2, should have become more of a mainstay on the sitcom.

Redditor ephemeral20 argued that "I'm binge watching NG and bearclaw seriously should have been introduced as a permanent character in the show, like Shelby but with way more screen time and appearances".

Bearclaw only makes three appearances on the show total, which is too bad. Not only is Bearclaw a good character, but Gad's demented performance fits perfectly into later episodes of "New Girl" and the increasing weirdness of the cast. By Season 4's "Walk of Shame," his demand that everyone "clap now" after he and Jess perform a musical about a gay wolf feels right at home.

Currently, you can watch episodes of "New Girl" featuring Gad as Bearclaw on Netflix.
