FRIDAY FUN: Featuring the Crazy Cast from 'Scrubs!'

This is definitely the funniest comedy that you're not watching. Scrubs blends plenty of slapstick humor with a heavy dose of heart and wonderful characters. I recently discovered some great behind-the-scenes stuff on this fun show.

Ever wonder what it was like to film the show in front of a live audience last season for the first time? Star Sarah Chalke (Elliot) describes her experience and how it led to a cool summer job.

The web site IGNFilmForce.com has a ton of cool Scrubs behind-the-scenes features including blog entries. In the most recent entry, you can watch Executive Producer Randall Winston answer fan questions from the mailbag and watch as Costume Designer Carey Bennett explains the difference between medical scrubs and the ones used on the show, including how you can get your own pair. There's also an interview with John C. McGinley (Dr. Cox):

An Interview with John C. McGinley

March 10, 2006 - John C. McGinley is one of those actors that you've seen in dozens of films, is instantly recognizable, and whose performance in any project is always solid as a rock.

Like the legendary character actors of the 60's and 70's - people like Gene Hackman, Robert Duvall, Roy Scheider, Ned Beatty - no matter how big or small the role, drama or comedy, McGinley brings a palpable intensity to any scene he's in.

As Dr. Perry Cox in Scrubs, he's brought to life one of the most loveably caustic characters to hit a television sitcom since the days of Ed Asner's Lou Grant.

He's also a tireless fundraiser for the National Down Syndrome Society, particularly in conjunction with their annual Buddy Walk.

Shortly before the start of the current fifth season of Scrubs, I had a chance to chat in-depth with Johnny C. (as he's known to his friends - though I'm sure he'll smack me upside the head for being presumptuous when I see him in L.A. next week) about his career, his philosophy, being a father, and much more.
