'It’s insane to me that such a gorgeous person can be so funny, but I guess we just all have to accept it,' New Girl creator and executive producer Liz Meriwether said.

'I've been a fan of her comedic skills since This Is 40, and I’m so excited to have her on the show. We had Megan in mind when we wrote this part – she’s the perfect person to come in and shake these guys up.'

The actress played Kelly Ripa's niece in two seasons of Hope & Faith early in her career, and appeared in one memorable episode of the first season of Two And A Half Men.

Lots of comebacks: Thursday's announcement on her return to TV wasn't Fox's only comeback either: she also posted her first picture to Instagram in 23 weeks

'Hi. I'm still here, I just continue to have an angsty relationship with social media,' she wrote under her Insta handle of The Native Tiger
