What Was It Like For John C. McGinley And Christa Miller To Reunite On 'Scrubs?' He Has Big Feelings

Cinema Blend

Last week, "Scrubs" premiered on the 2026 TV schedule after over a decade and a half away, and John C. McGinley is among the many familiar faces who’s back, albeit on a recurring basis. As if seeing McGinley act opposite Zach Braff, Donald Faison, Sarah Clarke and Judy Reyes wasn’t great enough, it was also announced last week that Christa Miller will return later this season, giving us more of Dr. Cox and his ex-wife/current partner Jordan together. Ahead of that reunion, CinemaBlend learned from McGinley about the big feelings he has about working with Miller again on "Scrubs"  Our own Riley Utley had the chance to speak to with the actor about his new series "Rooster," which was co-created by Bill Lawrence, the same man who gave us "Scrubs," as well as Christa Miller’s husband. Miller is also a series regular on another one of Lawrence’s shows, the Apple TV subscription-exclusive Shrinking, which is in the middle of its third season.

00:00In this show, I love that you, Alan, and Phil all came from different Bill Lawrence shows,

00:05and I love all these shows. I love Shrinking as well. I was curious if you could bring another

00:09member of the Scrubs cast or the Shrinking cast or anyone into Rooster, who would you want to bring?

00:15Well, it's hard not to say Krista, because I love her so much, and she's so great. And we

00:21just spent a couple of weeks together up in Vancouver, and she's one of my best friends

00:26on the planet. And I don't know how you'd do it, because Cox and Jordan are so attached at the

00:33hip,

00:34but it would be Krista, because she's the greatest. She is. I adore her. And I was going to ask

00:41really

00:41quickly about Scrubs. What was it like getting to reunite with her as Jordan and Cox? Like riding

00:45a bike, like falling out of bed, whatever the saying is. She is the Jane Russell of her generation.

00:55She is, she can do rapid fire screwball the way it was supposed to be. Her facility for really

01:08complicated text is astonishing. She's having an awesome season in Shrinking, and she absolutely

01:17crushes the last couple episodes of Scrubs. So I guess my answer would be Krista.
