‘Superstore’ Star Ben Feldman Looks Back on Jonah & Amy’s Pilot Meet-Cute 10 Years Later

Superstore opened its doors to Cloud 9 customers and TV viewers 10 years ago on November 30, 2015, kicking off a six-season run through spring 2021.

TV Insider caught up with star Ben Feldman, who shares, “I’ve got a lot of memories” from playing the loveable newbie Jonah when the pilot was filming and aired, introducing him and viewers to the crew running Cloud 9, among whom included floor supervisor Amy (America Ferrera), by-the-book assistant manager Dina (Lauren Ash), associate Garrett (Colton Dunn), store manager Glenn (Mark McKinney), fellow new recruit Mateo (Nico Santos), and Cheyenne (Nichole Sakura), among others.

In the premiere episode, Jonah attempts to make a good impression on his first day, but starts things off on the wrong foot with Amy, whom he offends when he mistakes her for a customer, and makes a comment about working there as being a negative thing. Needless to say, despite his blunder, Jonah’s immediate romantic interest in Amy is apparent, sparking one of comedy TV’s most memorable ships in recent years.
