Having Zach Braff voice Booster Gold’s robotic would’ve created arguably a number of the most meta episodes in TV historical past. That is one thing “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” considerably specialised in, contemplating the present starred Wentworth Miller and Dominic Purcell, each of whom had been on “Jail Break.” “Legends of Tomorrow” even had the Season 1 episode “Fail-Protected,” which sees the Legends embark on a jail break of their very own. The present may’ve had quite a lot of enjoyable with Braff and Donald Faison’s real-life friendship. Luckily, “Scrubs” followers by no means need to look too far to see what the duo is as much as.
For starters, the pair hosts their very own podcast, “Pretend Docs, Actual Buddies with Zach and Donald.” In it, they focus on all of the “Scrubs” episodes whereas offering behind-the-scenes anecdotes and infrequently bringing on another co-stars to listen to their ideas on a given storyline. Moreover, Braff and Faison had been the opposite actors in Jason Momoa’s 2024 Tremendous Bowl industrial for T-Cellular, the place they present up for a celebration and sing about how nice T-Cellular is.
Nonetheless, the truth that there was an thought to reunite the pair for a DC Comics TV present might seem to be a significant missed alternative, particularly seeing as Braff was right down to do greater than voice a robotic. When Faison’s Booster Gold casting got here up in an interview with Looper’s sister website /Movie, Braff acknowledged, “I am right here to announce that … I am right down to play Ted Kord [aka Blue Beetle].” A “Scrubs” superhero team-up would’ve made “DC’s Legends of Tomorrow” Season 8 price all of it by itself.
