Zach Braff Reveals Why Scrubs Cast Started to Repeat Jokes by Final Season

Still, Zach Braff stated he’d like to be a doctor again, and, at the same time, he admitted that the cast of Scrubs was ‘kind of fried’ during the ninth and last seasoon. 
 
In a recent episode of the Inside of You with Michael Rosenbaum podcast, the actor-producer-director reflected on shooting the Emmy-winning show, which aired from 2001 to 2010. He also got more specific about the tiredness that the cast felt by the end. 
 
“I miss laughing every day,” said Braff who portrayed intern John “J. D. ” Dorian on the medical sitcom “Scrubs. ”  “Belly laughing every day was the job,” added the actor who noted that the cast was over it by the time nine years were over. “We were starting to repeat jokes. Everyone’s pretty fried. ” 
 
The actor who hails from the Garden State said that the long shooting hours contributed to this greatly. “We would work what they consider obscene hours today,” he said. “We didn’t really have much of a life outside of it. So we were just kind of fried. ” 
 
But, almost fifteen years after the shooting of the series has ended, Braff now agrees to go back to Sacred Heart Hospital along with Faison, Chalke, Reyes, McGinley, and Miller. 
 
“But now looking back, and there’s talk of reboots, and that’s a conversation, ‘Oh my gosh. Being able to laugh — belly laugh — with these people again, would be a lot of fun,’ I think,” he said. 
 
However, the filmmaker of A Good Person pointed out that although Scrubs ‘changed my whole life’, there would still have to be some parameters set if the original cast came back for the reboot. 
 
When we signed up to do our show, they can put you under a pretty insane contract of, like, seven years and stuff, which was… which I wouldn’t do [again],” Braff said. “But some sort of a limited thing again? You are more or less asking ‘Wanna go and grab some of your closest friends, have the time of your life laughing and being fully fucking paid for it?’ Say what now?” 
 
The actor took time to say that he had the most insane life turnaround, as the show taught his character the ways of medicine, friendship and life.
