We all know that before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meghan Markle was a working actress, most famous for her role as Rachel Zane on the USA show Suits. And like most actors and actresses, she auditioned and shot a bunch of pilots before landing her big break.

Now one of those shows that never aired might make its debut. During an appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Max Greenfield (Schmidt from New Girl) talked about a pilot he shot many, many years ago with Meghan Markle for Comedy Central. It was called The Boys and Girls Guide to Getting Down and also featured actor Adam Pally of Happy Endings and The Mindy Project fame. (For those of you less familiar, studios and networks shoot numerous pilots, or single episodes of a show, and then decide after watching them which ones to pick up for more filming.)

Greenfield says they filmed the show a decade,”or even more,” ago. “I got some sort of email recently saying this person has bought it and they are putting it out,” he explained. “I was like, ‘Great. Good for you.’ I would assume they would have their reasons as to why they’re putting it out.” He doesn’t know where the episode might air, though. The Hollywood Reporter describes the show as a “tongue-in-cheek look at twenty-something singles clubbing and partying in Los Angeles.”

Sadly, Greenfield and Markle didn’t stay in touch. “Meghan and I, we didn’t connect after that or during that,” he said. “Look, had I known, I maybe would’ve played my cards a little differently.”

This pilot is more proof the Markle Sparkle is real. Its power knows no bounds—or time periods, apparently. The Television Academy isn’t ready, but I definitely am. Clear your queues, people.
