Courteney Cox To Appear On "Scrubs"

Entertainment Weekly:

J.D., Elliot and Co. have a new friend! Sources confirm to me exclusively that Courteney Cox is joining the cast of Scrubs for a three-episode arc as Sacred Heart's new Chief of Medicine.

Remember back in May, when exec producer Bill Lawrence revealed to me that he was looking to stunt cast the role of Dr. Kelso's successor? Yeah, I know -- I'd say he kept his word, too.

Cox's boss lady character will "ruffle feathers," teases a Scrubs insider.

It would be pretty difficult to nail down Courtney Cox's "best work" because it's been downhill since The Boss pulled her onstage in his video.

Being on a show a lot of dip-sheep watched doesn't make you GOOD.

Anyway, I thought Scrubs was canceled. Let it die, the last season was called in by the writers.

Are they still on course to cancel the show after this season? Maybe this will give them an excuse to go one more year?

Who's idea was this . . . ? It's a good one!

She'll be great and they need some spicing up on that show - surprisingly enough, they are still on . . . who would of thought?!? I don't think she can carry a show on her own - but this would be a great show for her talent! She is a great comedic actress - let's face it, she was a huge part of making us laugh through the 90's - on "Friends" - no show has been able to replace it since. Good Luck to you, Courtney!

I agree.

She was my favorite character on "Friends", she is very funny...not 'carry her own show' funny, but I think she's a good fit for Scrubs (which is one of my all time favorite shows ever!)

If she works out...I hope they'll keep her for the duration of the show and not just the 3 episodes.

[OhComeOnNow]

What is the plot going to be - she will actually consume some food, say a sandwich, and be treated for bulimia for 3 episodes while comically "ruffling feathers"?

[KindAndThoughtful]

She is a great talent...and a very nice person.

Desperately seeking a script ...

New Chief of Medicine: "I am looking for Dr. Cox"
Dr. Cox: " You found him"
New Chief: "Well, you look like a Cox"
Dr. Cox: "You are the expert at Cox, no doubt."

Hmmmm.....re-write.....
