‘Scrubs’ Just Made a Hilarious Dr. Cox Joke Without Him Even Being There

Dr. Cox was a major draw for fans when Scrubs returned, having been a character throughout all nine seasons of the original show—even the episodes from Med School. So, it was unexpected and a little disappointing when he quickly chose JD (Zach Braff) as his replacement and then the character of McGinley disappeared. The new cast members have done a good job keeping audiences focused on the present, though, until Dr. Cox received a hilarious mention in Episode 6, “My VIP.”
