In an interview with <a href="https://www.usmagazine.com/entertainment/news/sarah-chalke-reveals-roseanne-costars-she-wants-on-scrubs/” rel=”nofollow noopener” target=”_blank”>Us Weekly published on Thursday, November 5, Chalke opened up about starring in two iconic TV shows. She played Becky Conner on Roseanne in the ’90s and Elliot Reid in Scrubs in the 2000s.
“I was so incredibly lucky to have [that be] pretty much my first job,” she said of Scrubs. “I’d worked on small things, but that was going to work, and I would just watch all of these amazing comedians like Sandra Bernhard, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, John Goodman and Johnny Galecki.”
Additionally, Chalke described her time on the Roseanne set as an “embarrassment of riches of comedians to watch work every day.”
When asked which Roseanne stars she’d love to see on the Scrubs revival, Chalke shared, “So any of them. Obviously, to have Lecy [Goranson, who also played Becky] come would be super fun. And we’ve only worked together a handful of times because we were on the show at different times [playing the same character].”
