According to Entertainment Weekly's Dan Snierson, Nick Kroll, Bill Burr and Ellen Abertini Dow will be guest-starring in an upcoming episode of New Girl as three of Nick's relatives. They will be appearing in the same episode that Margo Martindale will be guest-starring in as Nick's mom, Bonnie. Here's an excerpt from the article:
EW has learned that comedian Nick Kroll (The League) will guest star as Nick’s dim-yet-passionate younger brother, an air conditioner repairman named Jamie. Meanwhile, fellow stand-up Bill Burr (Breaking Bad) will play Bobby, Nick’s loudmouthed cousin and a TSA agent at Boston’s Logan Airport who is always fighting with Jamie.
In the episode, which airs next month on Fox, Nick (Jake Johnson) and his roommates travel to Chicago, where he grew up, and his friends soon learn that Nick is somehow the most mature member of his family.
This isn’t our first time meeting another Miller: Dennis Farina recently played Nick’s dad.
UPDATE: Ellen Abertini Dow (The Wedding Singer) has been cast as Nick’s partially deaf aunt who is convinced that the other family members are plotting against her.

My thoughts: As I said in my post on Margo Martindale being cast as Nick's mother (New Girl: Margo Martindale to play Nick's mom ), I'm not exactly thrilled about her playing his mom. I'm definitely very excited to meet other members of Nick's family though, especially after reading this news. The descriptions of Nick's family members sound hilarious. In terms of this casting news, I'm only familiar with Nick Kroll and his work on The League. Nick is very funny on The League, so I'm sure he'll do a great job on New Girl. I can't wait to see this episode.
