Just a tiny, tiny island and lots of rum. Perfect.

Thanks for answering all our questions!!

So... will we ever really know the Janitor's name? I mean if you're not sure s8 is gonna be the last one...

I thought Ash was lying when she said Bill Lawrence was here again.

In my defense, she did call you Billy so I thought she may have been delusional.

I second your Janitor question Val.

And I have one of my own:

With all the fun characters like Snoop Dogg intern and Colonel Doctor, do you pick the actors first and then make up their names or do you think of names and then try and find actors that fit?

XD I thought of one!

How was it working with Brendan Fraser? Those are some of my favorite episodes! Seriously, I had rivers running down my face when I first saw My Screwup.

Would you have ever brought him back (or have you *wish*) for flashbacks or something?

Wow!! Thanks for answering the questions, Bill!

[Feels bizarre saying that.

Some of season 07 and 06 focused a lot on the joke characters like Beardface and Colonel Doctor. When you say the show will become more like seasons 1 and 2 does that mean there will be less of a focus on these characters?

**chasing starlight** · 11-02-2008, 05:20 PM

Wow! Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to answer some questions here Bill!

It's kinda surreal that I'm able to say that to you.

And I'm very excited about the new season! January! Not too far away then!

That was my main question, when the new season would start.

I know huh? *more gloating*

January. Not to terrible

Sunday night. Hiding from work. Janitor's name ending shot two different ways (tough to live up to the hype, but Neil Flynn helped, and I think it's funny). The Colonel Doctors, etc., were named on set. They were already background performers, and they didn't mind when I named them. The Colonel really looks like the Colonel, Beardface is self-explanatory, but my favorite was originally just named "Black Haired Doctor" until he became Mickhead for a joke. The new interns are funny. They don't overwhelm the show - the regulars are still the stars, but it definitely feels fresh. I liked them all, but I think people will respond to Eliza Coupe, Sonal Shah, and Aziz. Also, one of the guys that starred in this weird show I did a while back called "Nobody's Watching" is my favorite new character "Jimmy the Overly Touchy Orderly". The character Todd is loosely based on both the actor who portrays him and a buddy of mine from college. I'd love to have Brendan Fraser back on the show, but we don't see each other as much anymore, so it's harder for me to beg. The webisodes (out in December) are about the interns, but feature the regulars. I'm not sure J.D. ever beats the Janitor (seriously, drawing a blank) though I loved the one where neither Turk nor J.D. believed in his twin brother ("Did somebody say keep rocking?!"). Thanks again for letting me indulge myself.

**Ellipsis** · 11-03-2008, 12:15 AM

Jimmy the Overly Touchy Orderly huh? Definitely sounds promising.

I liked Nobody's Watching, the show really had potential. Sucks that it didn't get picked up. So it's really done huh?

Party Mike · 11-03-2008, 12:18 AM

Very glad to hear that about the interns. That was one of my worries about this season. Pretty much all my doubts about it are gone now.
