Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. One of the longest running minor characters is "The Todd". This surgeon is well known for his high-fives and perverted commentary. However, what is the character's last name?

Answer: Quinlan

We find this out in the episode "Their Story". In a funny bit of conversation, a patient says "Dr. Quinlan?" When Todd doesn't respond, Turk says "That's you".

2. In "My Identity Crisis", we find out many of the minor characters' real names. Which of the following is NOT learned from this episode?

Answer: The Janitor's real name is Tom

There is a popular myth floating around that a clip from an episode states a character once said to the Janitor "Good one, Tom". It has been confirmed that the character in this clip is actually saying "Good one, you tell 'em". So, the Janitor's real name has never been revealed in the entire first 7 seasons, although they have promised to reveal his true name in season 8, now on ABC. Update: In the episode "My Finale", the janitor reveals his name as Glen Matthews.

However, after he states this, another character refers to him as "Tommy", so we never REALLY end up knowing his name.

3. Several episodes have focused on thoughts other than J.D.'s. Which of these characters has never had an episode focused on his/her thoughts?

Answer: Laverne

Todd, Ted, and Jordan all had their thoughts focused on in the episode "Their Story". Since the Laverne character passed away, that character will never have an episode focused on her.

4. J.D. has definitely grown up since having his first child. His son actually has a first name and two middle names. Which of the following is NOT one of his names?

Answer: John

J.D.'s son's name is Sam Perry Gilligan Dorian. Why? According to him, Sam after his dad, Perry because "I just like the way it sounds", and Gilligan because he lost that bet with Turk.

Answer: Shirley

If you hadn't noticed, the name is a very deliberate reference to the old TV show "Laverne and Shirley". In the show's usual weird fashion, only J.D. thinks Shirley looks like Laverne, everyone else is oblivious.

6. In "My Perspective", we find out that Lloyd, the drug using, speed metal loving, delivery driver, is related to one of the other characters. Who is the relation and how are they related?

Answer: He is Colonel Doctor's son

Lloyd, who is played by "Scrubs" producer Mike Schwartz, actually appears quite often throughout the series. We do not find out until later in the series that he is a recovering addict, loves speed metal, and is Colonel Doctor (Coleman Slawski)'s son.

7. Ted's band has made numerous appearances over the span of the show. His three bandmates come from various departments in the hospital. Which department is NOT represented?

Answer: Human resources

Sam Lloyd, who plays Ted, is really a part of a band called the Blanks. One day he brought his bandmates to the set and introduced them to Bill Lawrence, the show's creator. Bill enjoyed them so much he decided to integrate them into the show.

Answer: Jennifer Dylan

J.D. had wanted Perry's daughter to share his initials. When Perry didn't have anybody come to congratulate Jordan, Jordan decided to get back at him by letting J.D. pick out the name.

9. When we were first introduced to the character Dr. Mickhead, we find he is being investigated by the police. Why is he being investigated?

Answer: His wife was found dead

Although it is never conclusively revealed if he murdered his wife, he seemed anxious to hide evidence. He did get cleared of any suspicion and the subject dropped.

10. Elliot's ex-fiance Keith came into the show in the last few seasons as an intern under J.D. What unusual last name does he have?

Answer: Dudemeister

J.D. liked giving all his interns nicknames. Many of his interns received convoluted nicknames. However, because he didn't like Keith, he refused to give him a nickname even though he had the last name of Dudemeister, which practically begged for a nickname.
