Scrubs Guest Stars - Season One

Not only has Scrubs become an official cult hit for NBC over the years, but this hit sitcom has become known for another fact: Actors love to be guest stars on Scrubs. For some reason, more odd and memorable guest star casting choices have come through Sacred Heart, the fictitious hospital Scrubs takes place at, than almost any other modern show on television. In season one alone, there are many guest stars, thirteen major ones to be exact, and some are very memorable. I'm going to go in order of appearance, and only talk about these memorable guest stars. For a complete, season one listing, check the end of this article.

The first season of Scrubs introduced us to a few recurring characters, the first of these memorable characters was a patient by the name of Jill Tracy, played by actress Nicole Sullivan. Jill Tracy was a flighty, somewhat nervous, patient that gets re-admitted a few times, and is known to suffer from depression, and a host of relationship problems. She gets re-admitted to Scared Heart Hospital a few times, but eventually dies in a later season. As for Nicole Sullivan, the actress that plays Jill Tracy on Scrubs, she is alive and kicking. Her strongest claim to fame, aside from the Scrubs guest spots, has been starring on the FOX sketch comedy show, MadTV for it first six years on the air. After that, she bounced around doing guest spots in shows like, The Drew Carey Show, Less Than Perfect, and Monk. Nicole Sullivan found a steady recurring role as the slightly ditsy, Holly Shumpert, on CBS' hit, The King of Queens.
