John is going back to ABC in another sitcom "Smothered"

Here's some great an unexpected news. Not only will John be on HBO this fall in a new show, he just landed ANOTHER new show with Adam Arkin called "Smothered" on ABC.
Here are the details:

*Note that the story says Alan Arkin, but it is indeed ADAM Arkin, verified by other sources

SOURCE:

I'm a firm believer that "Scrubs" was one of the most perfect sitcoms that have graced our airwaves.

Not only was it hilarious and consistently inventive (it was one of the first to use the single-camera format that has now become the standard), it stayed true to sitcom conventions of wrapping your story up in one episode but still left little threads danglin' for an ongoing arc.

Now its best actor is returning to the land of weekly laughs - Dr. Cox himself, John C. McGinley, has landed a role alongside Alan Arkin in the ABC series "Smothered," about a young couple who feel - you guessed it - smothered by their parents.

McGinley and Julie White ("Law & Order: Special Victims Unit") will play one set of parents while Arkin and Marcia Gay Harden ("Mystic River") will play the other set. Kyle Howard ("My Boys") plays one half of the couple, while the girl has yet to be cast. Andrew Reich and Ted Cohen, longtime writers and producers on "Friends," created and will produce.

Adam Arkin is no slouch in the acting department either, having appeared in a recurrig role on "The West Wing" and giving a quietly hilarious role in the Coen Brothers film "A Serious Man."

With him, McGinley, and Harden, that's an impressive line-up for a multi-camera sitcom, usually the launching pad for up-and-comers and the resting place for come-and-goners. I'll be eager to see if there's more to it than an admittedly generic premise.

John on Twitter

http://twitter.com/#!/RealJohnnymcG

From what I can gather, this is really John's Twitter account. Updated infrequently and it hasn't been verified yet by twitter as authentic, so I'm still a bit skeptical.

If it is in fact him, I think it's great he's made the leap to social networking, especially since he's starting work on a new high profile show that would allow him to share behind the scenes tidbits with all his fans.

John's contact info

I found this info years ago on imdbpro.com, I'm not sure how valid it is, but people always email me asking how to contact John. Hopefully this will give that answer for the next few months on the homepage here:

I can validate any of this though, he may have moved to a different agency.

John is headed to HBO!

John C McGinley has been cast in a recurring role in the new HBO drama "Luck". I'm so glad to see him returning to television and doing it with such great talents as Hoffman and Mann.

From tvline.com:

Scrubs fans are in luck: John C. McGinley is headed back to the tube.

The erstwhile Dr. Cox has landed a recurring role in Luck, HBO’s upcoming horse racing drama from David Milch and Michael Mann and starring Dustin Hoffman. The highly anticipated series promises to take viewers inside the provocative world of horse racing, with a specific spotlight cast on the owners, gamblers, jockeys and diverse gaming industry players.

McGinley will play a genial swindler working in cahoots with his daughter.

Luck is slated to premiere in late 2011 or early 2012.
