Scrubs is a true favorite for many viewers of the 2000s. The series was the perfect mix of comedy, drama, and charming characters. For the actor of J.D., Zach Braff, the series is still important to this day. In a recent podcast, he speaks about his former colleagues.
Scrubs is still a big favorite among comedy fans. In Germany, the series aired for years on ProSieben. The series tells the stories of Sacred Heart Hospital and the quirky tales of the sympathetic characters. Between 2001 and 2010, 9 seasons aired (the 9th season is often ignored by fans).
The chemistry among the many characters was not just visible on screen, but also behind the scenes. In a recent interview podcast, Zach Braff talked about his former colleagues. He also discussed a possible revival and whether he would participate.
Zach Braff regularly appears with his best friend Donald Faison, who plays Turk. For a TV spot, even featuring Aquaman

He misses his old colleagues
What does Zach Braff say about his old colleagues? In the show Inside of You (via YouTube), Zach Braff talked about Scrubs. He is asked by the host of the show, Michael Rosenbaum, if he misses Scrubs. Braff confirms this and specifies that he misses some aspects of the show. Above all, the time spent with his colleagues.
I miss seeing the people often. I miss laughing every day. Laughing from the belly every day was the job.
Braff still keeps in touch with many of his colleagues. Since 2020, he has been hosting the podcast Fake Doctors, Real Friends with Zach and Donald (via Spotify). There, the two still discuss specific Scrubs episodes and invite guests accordingly.
There are episodes featuring Sarah Chalke, who plays Elliot, as well as John C. McGinley, who plays Dr. Cox, and many more. Generally, Zach often expresses very positive thoughts about his old colleagues. In another podcast, he also talked about the janitor.
In the interview with Rosenbaum, he also talks about a possible revival or reboot. Generally, he would really like that, but only on the condition that it remains a one-time thing. Laughing so much with his best friends while getting paid sounds fantastic
to Braff.
What is Zach Braff actually doing today? He is still working as an actor but also as a director. His last film was French Girl – A Table for Three. He also appeared in an episode of Obi-Wan Kenobi. He has directed several episodes of series by Bill Lawrence, the creator of Scrubs, including Ted Lasso or Shrinking.
Zach Braff is also a film director. He directed his wife, Florence Pugh, and Morgan Freeman in the 2023 film A Good Person. There was a special chemistry between J.D. and Elliot: Elliot and J.D. were never actually meant to get together, to prevent the series from becoming like Friends.
