After six seasons of watching New Girl, we thought we knew Schmidt.
We’ve seen him through his ‘douchebag jar’ days, his very particular habits, dating, hitting career goals and marriage… all without ever knowing what his first name is.

Drum roll please…

Of course, this is particularly significant because one of the other main characters in the loft gang is called Winston. And the other Winston was not stoked that Schmidt had decided to start using his full name to launch his new brand.
