Best Super Bowl Ads Ever

Last summer, Donald and Zach reunited with former Scrubs costars Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes and Robert Maschio for E!'s Reunion Road Trip: Back In Scrubs. In the special, the actors reflected on their show and paid tribute to the essential workers working amid the coronavirus pandemic.

 

"Scrubs was, obviously, a sitcom with a lot of comedy, but it had a lot of serious moments," Zach shared during the reunion. "You know, you can't make a show about losing life and hospitals without it getting into drama and real-life situations."

He also credited the writing team for creating a show that can "make you laugh, have some bit of surreal fantasy and then, very often, be moving."
