Its official, Scrubs is going to ABC next season
SOURCE HERE
"Scrubs'" fate is no longer up in the air, reports John C. McGinley. "I've been told to show up at work on March 24, and the 18 episodes we're going to do starting that day will be on ABC next fall," says the actor known as the acerbic Dr. Cox on the show. "Scrubs" lead Zach Braff had expressed he definitely wanted out after what should have been the final season, but McGinley says the whole cast is aboard for one more go.
"Scrubs" Future No Longer in Question Says John C. McGinley
To recap, the "Scrubs" troupe was only able to finish 12 episodes of the 18 NBC had ordered for its final season before the writers' strike, and the network reportedly wouldn't commit to the last six episodes. "Scrubs" creator Bill Lawrence had declared he'd finish the show on DVD if necessary, but then ABC piped in with the invite to jump ship. Now the last six episodes in the can for NBC begin airing April 10.
"When they're done, there's no wrap-up, cliffhanger or anything," notes McGinley. "It's a show that will all of a sudden stop in the middle of its season on NBC, which is kind of a drag, but if we're switching to ABC, I don't really care. Steve McPherson, the guy who runs ABC, greenlit the thing when he was over at Touchstone, so it was his baby to begin with. I couldn't be more excited."
McGinley, who's over the moon about the new baby girl he just had Feb. 2 with wife Nichole Kessler, says, "I haven't talked to my cast mates because I've been a little busy over here, but I'm sure everybody's pretty thrilled. The fanatical fan base we have is the only reason we're still on. It's unbelievable. It's the show you can't kill, and I'm happy for it. I'd love to do it forever."

Scrubs to move to ABC?
I read this article today, sems ABC wants to put Scrubs on their channel. I'm not sure if this means another season or what, as I thought season 7 was the final one. 18 more episodes is fine by me, as I 'm sad to see the show end, but I thought they had a tough enough time getting everyone back for season 7. Hopefully more info will come our way soon.

McGinley's game wins unprecedented award.
SOURCE
Writers rewarded for work on video game
Dead Head Fred writers Dave Ellis and Adam Cogan have been presented with the first ever Writers Guild Award for video game writing.
Dead Head Fred is a PSP game about Fred, a private investigator, who is looking into the affairs of businessman Ulysses S. Pitt. Pitt claims to be the saviour of the people, but is actually rotten to the core. He cottons to Fred, though, and Fred ends up dead.
And beheaded.
A scientist in Pitt’s employ preserves Fred’s eyes and brain and reanimates his corpse in the hope that Fred can turn the tables on the bad apple.
Fred’s new head is nothing more than his brain and eyes floating in a jar, but he collects other heads - including a corpse head that can spew fluids that it’s sucked up and a stone head that can break through walls - and Fred is able to swap one head for another depending on the situation he finds himself in.
Rated mature, Dead Head Fred is hindered by long loading times, uninspired level design, and terrible gameplay mechanics, but there are two elements of the game that are great: writing and voice work.
The main character, Fred, is voiced by John C. McGinley and the main antagonist, Ulysses S. Pitt, is performed by Jon Polito. They make the game.
Therefore, the writers of the game deserve recognition, because without their witty dialogue, there would have been nothing clever for McGinley and Polito to say.
Congrats to Ellis and Cogan. And to all the other writers who were nominated, who also deserve the recognition for their hard work.

John in child support issue.

Trouble for McGinley
Visit our sponsors to learn how to Download Scrubs episodes here
TMZ.com reports that trouble has erupted for John C. McGinley, the charismatic actor from Scrubs.
News has it that Lauren Lambert, McGinley’s ex-wife has filed a legal suite against him for withholding child support payments in wake of the ongoing writers’ strike.
McGinley, who divorced his wife in 2001, is supposed to pay $9,000, a month for the care of Max, the couple’s 10-year old son, who unfortunately suffers from Down’s Syndrome.
Citing the reason of the show being out of production, the famous Dr. Perry Cox of Scrubs stopped the payment early this month. On the other hand, Lambert is furious over his decision, calling him unfair for ‘possessing a big house in Malibu’ and reinstates her intention to get her fair share of the claim.
Meanwhile, Lynn Soodik, the actor’s lawyer, reportedly came to his rescue. According to Soodik, the court order allows him to reduce the support amount when the show is not being shot.

John C as golf pitchman
I'm sure this is old but its the first I have heard about it. Original source HERE
Shooting Star: John C. McGinley
How that guy from Scrubs pissed off Arnold Palmer
By ERIC WEINBERG
Hey, look! It's...that guy! The smug Dr. Cox on Scrubs, the unctuous broker in Wall Street, Michael Bolton's biggest fan in Office Space. Now John C. McGinley, a veteran of more than 50 films, has a new role on his resume--Champions Tour pitchman in television sports for the senior circuit's 25th anniversary.
How did you get the Champions Tour gig?
They wanted someone intense. I do a lot of monologues on Scrubs so they felt I could handle it.
You grew up in New Jersey and you were a ball spotter at the 1980 U.S. Open at Baltusrol.
Yeah, and I learned not to ask dumb questions. On the first hole, Arnold Palmer pulled his drive into a bunker and had a nasty fried-egg lie. When he got there, I asked, "What ball are you playing, Arnie?" He just glared at me and said, "A 'Palmer,' jackass!"
What celebs do you play with?
Wayne Gretzky, John Cusack. One night in Miami years ago John, myself and some girl were grossly overserved. We snuck onto a course and went crazy in golf carts. We slammed on the brakes on the lip of a 15-foot-deep pot bunker, and the girl got launched across the green.
So you consider golf an extreme sport?
Not at all. To me, the game is all about male bonding. My brother Mark was on the 66th floor of the second tower at the World Trade Center. He got out. The greatest quality time I've had with my dad and brothers has been on the golf course. We make a perfect foursome.

Writers Strike gves John more time to prepare for his second child.
The writers' strike has shut down production of TV's Scrubs – which is not entirely a bad thing for star John C. McGinley's wife, Nichole Kessler, who is pregnant with a girl.
"I'm, like, telling the cravings to kick in now because hubby's around and he can go and get it," Kessler joked at Wednesday's premiere of John Cusack's new film Grace is Gone.
So far, she says, McGinley hasn't had to run out in the middle of the night to pick up a carton of ice cream, as the cravings haven't started yet. Not that the actor hasn't been busy at home.
"In my first trimester, I was very morning sick and so John did all of the shopping," she says. "He's the best husband in the world."
And as of this week, there's even more free time. "I can do everything now because we stopped work yesterday," says McGinley.
This is McGinley's second child; he has a 10-year-old son, Max, from a previous marriage. But it is a first for Kessler, who has been studying up both via book and email with the aid of perennial baby classic What to Expect When Expecting.
"Yes, of course, I get the emails everyday!", she said. "They also have an email program 'What to Expect When You're Expecting.' It sends you an email, and then I also read the book, of course."
Added the father-to-be, " Nicole forwards me the 'What to Expect' whenever it's kind of titillating or interesting. You know, they tell me about how much fluid is in there."

Scrubs off the air for the WGA strike
I'm not sure when Scrubs will reappear on the schedule with new episodes. The Writer's Guild of America is currently on strike, so when the remainder of the taped shows airs there will be a gap of new Scrubs episodes.
I heard that the creator of the show will not write a cheap wrap-up episode to the season to use as an impromptu series finale because he feels that would be cheating the fans. I agree, wait until the strike is over and then film the rest of the episodes.
As you may well know this strike is affecting not only all scripted television show,s but motion pictures as well.
I hope it will be over soon enough and the writers get what they are asking for.
