‘Scrubs' reboot with original stars airing on ABC this year
A reboot of the NBC-turned-ABC sitcom has gotten a straight-to-series order at the latter, where it will air for the 2025 to 2026 season, Variety reports.
In addition to Zach Braff, whose planned return as J.D. was reported in late May, original stars Donald Faison and Sarah Chalke will also be back. They starred in the original Emmy winner as Turk and Elliot, respectively.
'After years apart, best friends J.D. and Turk reunite at Sacred Heart hospital, where they face modern medical challenges alongside fresh faces while keeping their legendary friendship alive,' reads the logline on the untitled series' IMDb page.
'Scrubs' creator Bill Lawrence also created the reboot, which he will co-executive produce.
''Scrubs' means so very much to me,' Lawrence told Variety. 'So excited for the chance to get the band back together.'
Variety reported in December that the new iteration was in early development at Disney-owned ABC.
'Scrubs' debuted in 2001 on NBC, where it aired for seven seasons before moving to ABC for its final two.

Disney Stock (DIS) Slips Despite New Zootopia 2 Trailer
Disney (DIS) stock slipped on Thursday despite the release of a new trailer for the entertainment company's upcoming film, Zootopia 2. This latest trailer shows off main characters Judy Hopps and Nick Wilde as they continue their adventures after the end of the first film. Disney also riled up fans of the original movie with a scene that shows Nick Wilde wearing a 'Foxy Dad' shirt, leaving some wondering about the relationship between the two main characters. Elevate Your Investing Strategy: Take advantage of TipRanks Premium at 50% off! Unlock powerful investing tools, advanced data, and expert analyst insights to help you invest with confidence. Disney has high hopes for Zootopia 2, and that makes sense considering the success of the first film. The original Zootopia pulled in $341.3 million in the U.S. and Canada and $682.5 million internationally on a budget of $150 million. This makes it the company's 10th-highest-grossing animated film. Zootopia 2 will be released in theaters on November 26, 2025, meaning its box office performance will be added to other Disney films that came out this year. This could make 2025 a win for Disney, as currently its box office releases are mixed, with some films well above budgets and others not performing as well. Disney Stock Movement Today Disney stock was down 0.4% on Thursday, but remained up 7.36% year-to-date. The shares have also rallied 28.47% over the past 12 months. With a Nov. 26 release date, it will be some time before investors see the full effect that Zootopia 2 may have on DIS shares. Is Disney Stock a Buy, Sell, or Hold? Turning to Wall Street, the analysts' consensus rating for Disney is Strong Buy, based on 17 Buy and three Hold ratings over the past three months. With that comes an average DIS stock price target of $134.67, representing a potential 13.15% upside for the shares.

Fox News' host Greg Gutfeld to appear on Jimmy Fallon next week
Fox News late night host Greg Gutfeld will be a guest on Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show" next week, marking the libertarian-leaning on-air persona's first appearance on a traditional network late-night talk show. His debut guest appearance is scheduled for the Thursday, August 7 episode, NBC spokesperson Eve Kenny confirmed. Gutfeld is the host of Fox News' late-night "Gutfeld!" which debuted in April 2021 and has found success, averaging 3.29 million viewers, according to Late Nighter. The comedian and political commentator has long criticized late-night hosts like Seth Meyers and Jimmy Kimmel. But he expressed a soft spot for Fallon during a Thursday, July 31 episode of the Fox News conservative cable hit "The Five." "I'm psyched about it because Fallon comes across as a great guy, nice guy," Gutfeld told his co-hosts. "Also me going on his show shows him that he's not worried about upsetting his peers." He then recalled President Donald Trump's guest appearance on the "Tonight Show" ahead of the 2016 election, in which Fallon was scrutinized for "humanizing Trump" after tousling his hair for a comedic bit. "But it didn't come from anybody but the people on the left who wanted to teach all entertainers a lesson that if you dare show that Trump is a human, then you're toast," he added. "And so it's kind of nice that he's taken this risk." Fallon is among Trump's late-night foes Though its unclear what Fallon and Gutfeld will discuss during the episode, the talk show crossover comes after Trump's public squabble with several late night hosts following CBS' cancellation of the "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert." Trump celebrated the cancelation on Truth Social July 18 writing "I absolutely love that Colbert' got fired. His talent was even less than his ratings." Colbert addressed the post in his July 21 episode monologue saying: "How dare you, sir? Would an untalented man be able to compose the following satirical witticism? Go (expletive) yourself." The president later made a jab at Kimmel, insinuating that his show would be the next to end before taking aim at Fallon. "The word is, and it's a strong word at that, Jimmy Kimmel is NEXT to go in the untalented Late Night Sweepstakes and, shortly thereafter, (Jimmy) Fallon will be gone," Trump wrote on a July 22 Truth Social post. Fallon participated in the beef by zeroing in on Trump's former relationship with deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein following reports that Attorney General Pam Bondi had reportedly told the president that he was named multiple times in the government's files. "Well, guys, the big story continues to be President Trump's handling of the Epstein files, and now newly uncovered footage shows that Jeffrey Epstein attended Trump's second wedding in 1993," Fallon said. "You had the bride, the groom, the groomer." Contributing: Anna Kaufman, USA TODAY This article originally appeared on USA TODAY: Fox News' host Greg Gutfeld to appear on Jimmy Fallon next week
