21 Schmidt is known for parading his one-night stands around, but that changed in the second-half of the season. Which concubine of Schmidt's tries to keep it a secret but it ultimately turns into a full-fledged relationship?
Answer: Cece

Schmidt and Cece (played by Hannah Simone) first hook up in "Valentine's Day" - that's if you don't count hand-holding as "hooking up". They try to keep it a secret even though Schmidt is particularly proud of this conquest and ultimately their tryst is out in the open during the episode "Secrets". But at that time, it becomes a full-fledged relationship.

22 In episode nineteen, "The Right Thing", we finally got to meet Schmidt's mom Louise. Which former "Saturday Night Live" cast member played her?
Answer: Nora Dunn

Schmidt hinted around that his mother was a bit critical. We found out that she had a girlfriend named Susan, called her dog his "baby brother", and brought him a cream colored crochet sweater. He asked her if he could have the money he got as gifts at his Bar Mitzvah and she said that he could. He wanted to go in on an investment with Nick to own 10% of the bar. She said all he had to do was write out the Thank You notes that he'd never gotten around to all those years ago. Nora Dunn was a cast member of "SNL" from 1985-1990. Nasim Pedrad played Aly, Winston's cop partner, in this episode. She too has been a cast member of "SNL".

23 In the second season we met Jess' parents, Bob and Joan. Which famous actors played them?
Answer: Rob Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis

It was Thanksgiving and Jess said she had to have two dinners to make sure her parents did not encounter each other. Instead, she did a "parent trap", which she was apparently famous for, to try and get them back together. It worked, they did get back together, but it may have only been for a tiny amount of time, and they never let her know. At Cece and Shivrang's wedding, only Bob showed up. But, that may have been because Joan was still holding a grudge against Cece for scratching her car when Cece and Jess were much younger.
    Your options: [ Rob Reiner and Jamie Lee Curtis ] [ John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John ] [ Ron Howard and Demi Moore ] [ Burt Reynolds and Sally Field ]

25 Whether Nick wants to admit to it or not, he was dumped. What is the name of Nick's ex-girlfriend whom he is trying to get over from the first episode on?
Answer: Caroline

Begrudgingly admitting to it, Nick was dumped by Caroline (played by Mary Elizabeth Ellis) six months prior to the beginning of the show. He has a tendency of prank-calling her in the pilot episode. But throughout the season, Caroline is a major focal point of Nick's relationship troubles and it is more than implied that if he wants to move on in his life, he needs to move on from her.

26 In season three, Winston appropriated a cat named Furguson. From whom did he take the cat?
Answer: Daisy

Daisy, played by actress Brenda Song, became Winston's love interest in season two. He decided in the episode "Nerd", that he wanted her to be his girlfriend. When he went to her apartment to pick up Furguson, so he could babysit him, there was a man in Daisy's shower. She immediately agreed to be exclusive when Winston asked. When she came to get Furguson from the loft, Daisy admitted to Winston that she had slept with the guy in her shower after agreeing to be his girlfriend. Winston said he deserved better than that, as did Furguson. He kept the cat. Schmidt had been opposed to even having the cat in the loft, as he said all cats were obsessed with his nipples. I got the spelling of the cat's name directly from the episode synopsis, and once more have to say I know of no character named Kyle.
