Why the clues pointed to Schmidt

The Show clue was New Girl, which premiered on FOX and ran from 2011 to 2018. 6 characters in the game come from that show, so a green Show cell cut the field to them in one guess.

The Debut clue was 2011, the year of Schmidt's first episode, "Pilot" (Season 1, Episode 1). Any guess who debuted within three years turned the cell amber, a window that holds 53 characters, and the arrow pointed toward 2011 from either side.

The Network clue was FOX, shared by 40 characters, and the Role clue was Main: credited as main cast for at least one season, true of 209 characters. Put together with the Gender clue (Male), the five colors left very few names, and he was the one that fit every cell.

Schmidt is the roommate whose ego is so big the loft keeps a jar for his obnoxious comments. Played by Max Greenfield in an Emmy-nominated performance, he is New Girl's most quotable character and, by the end, one of its most tender.
