Just when things were starting to hit a groove for Zooey Deschanel and Jake Johnson's Jess and Nick, Taye Diggs will pay a visit to "New Girl" and test the strength of that new relationship.

Diggs, best known for his role as Dr. Sam Bennett on "Private Practice," will appear in the seventh episode of the third season, which premiered Tuesday. His character, Artie is a "smooth, confident ladies' man" with his eye on Jess.
