Damon Wayans Jr. was an original member of the gang on the pilot episode of “New Girl” (Fox, 9 p.m.). With Wayans still involved in “Happy Endings,” he couldn’t stay, though, and his slot was largely thought to have been taken by Lamorne Morris, a new African-American in the cast.
At least Morris had a different name in the cast, allowing Wayans’ character, Coach, back in the fold for now, now that “Happy Endings” has ended. He will apparently stick around for a while too, at least until another sitcom comes along
