Did anyone else see Scrubs this week? There was a funny reference to Tony Shalhoub:

J.D. (Zach Braff) bounds into the room, overflowing with enthusiasm. Elliot (Sarah Chalke) and Turk (Donald Faison) are considerably less enthused.

"Come on!" J.D. gushes. "I know it's tempting to just mail it in, but there's still a lot of people who rely on us every week, and I think we owe it to them to be as inspired as we were our first few years."

He's talking about their work as doctors, except that he's really talking about their work on the TV show. And there might even be a bit of good-natured bitterness in there as well.

"Now, I know we never do great come medical awards season," J.D. says, "except for Dr. Shalhoub. He wins everything."

(Tony Shalhoub is, of course, the three-time Emmy-winning star of "Monk.")

"But I still think we're as good as anybody else out there," J.D. continues.

pretty funny! I got the text via a goolge search from Deseret News: http://www.deseretnews.com/article/1,5143,705275410,00.html

It was great! You can see it here on YouTube (jump to 1:10)

Scrubs

Thanks for that! Very funny reference! I hope Tony wins again!

I caught that too...was wondering if there was a direct reference (can't imagine it's all that common a name )

Oh thank dog that there are other people out there who obsess over trivial references made about their interest.

This thread is a nice place to vent the excitement of getting a reference and the anxiety of not being in a position to tell someone you got a reference to your favorite show because you are just that hard-core.

On a side note it would be entertaining and sexy if Hugh Jackman guest stared on Scrubs to see if Dr. Cox really would go through with his dream of socking him in the face.
