Exclusive Interview With 'Childrens Hospital's' Rob Huebel

Rob Huebel is a man of many talents. Well, actually, I don't know if he could juggle chainsaws (I bet he could though), but the talents he does posses are being incredibly funny and popping in on just about every show you and your friends like. Right now he's starring in the absurdly hilarious Childrens Hospital so we chatted with the funny man about writing for the show, making out with classic television stars, and dogs chasing squirrels. Hard hitting stuff, indeed.


I think the trick to that show is to really treat it like it’s a real, serious medical drama. Hopefully we don’t ever look like we’re being silly, or goofy, or doing wacky shit. What we really want to do is take really absurd things really seriously. Hopefully that’s what makes it funny. I think that’s the trick with things like that. You don’t have to do anything different than a real show. Even though you’re saying crazy, crazy shit… like the most ridiculous things, you just have to deliver it really dramatically and really seriously.
. You’re probably too young for that. She’s an older lady. I had to have a very graphic make out with her with my shirt off. And you know, our tongues were intertwined. That was interesting just because of our age difference. I’m walking my dog. My dog’s chasing a squirrel, here. There’s always a lot of crazy stuff. This season I get my foreskin reattached. That’s pretty crazy. There are a lot of porn stars on set this season. We shot an episode called “The Night Shift,” where we sort of reveal what happens at the hospital during the night. They completely change us over. It becomes this really dark place, and there are biker gangs in the emergency room. It’s like a really scary place at night. And there are a lot of porn stars there shooting. Henry Winkler’s character rented out the hospital to some porn crew so they could shoot a porno at Childrens Hospital at night.


I wrote an episode this season, so I know a little about how it goes. The very first time you read this stuff, you shit your pants laughing. You love it, you can’t wait to do it. By the time you do it, you’ve reworked the script and reworked the script, and there’ve been a lot of meetings about it. When you’re actually in production, it’s like anything else. You have a certain amount of time in that you have to have this thing done. We try to shoot an episode in, basically, two days.

Top 5 Scrubs Episodes « News from the Boston Becks

Was airing sequentially on Comedy Central in the late morning.  Even before we started checking out the DVD’s (and later, buying them), we were able to watch the whole show, from start to finish.  During our time in Quincy and our first two years in Arlington, during all the time that I was toiling at Borders, it was one of the few things that Veronica and I could do together. did so well was using music.  It wasn’t just a commercial for hit pop songs.  It could find older songs as well and it figured out to how to use them as well as any show I have ever watched.

In comic books, the fourth issue was always a big deal.  It dates back to a few big things in the early 60′s – the re-appearance of The Sub-Mariner in Fantastic Four really does it.  The episode deals with three patients, with each of the three young doctors (J.D., Turk, Elliot) all dealing with one and the knowledge that 1 out of 3 patients in hospitals die.  But then we get to the end and we see how well the show has set us up – that it can be serious as well as having its flights of fancy and that its songs can make us cry as well as laugh.

#2  -  Season 3, Episode 13  (My Porcelain God)

Scrubs .  As a result, over the years, nearly every major actor from Spin City made an appearance on the show at some point and those episodes were almost always great.  The two parts with Michael J. Fox were especially enjoyable.  The ending to this one was another reminder that while Scrubs was a great showcase for independent music in the early part of last decade, they also could showcase other music.  Here, we have “A Murder of One”, the last track from August and Everything After , able supporting the brilliant performances by Ian McKellen and Michael Caine and I realized he could be pretty good.  He’s very good in the two-part episode in the first season where he appears.  I won’t mention what happens in this one.  If you’ve seen it, you know what happens.  And if you haven’t, well, it does such a good job with it, you really should watch it.

It also does a phenomenal job with the song “Winter” by Joshua Radin.  It is a reminder that many of the songs I listen to from the last 10 years I heard first on Scrubs .  This episode is a love poem to the film, complete with cranking up the colors, bizarre references that you won’t realize the first time (J.D. begins the episode by cranking up the Toto) and an absolute pitch-perfect ending.  There are many ways to sing “Over the Rainbow” and most of them are great, but my favorite is IZ’s version.  Ted and his Worthless Peons end this episode singing it in exactly that style, a beautiful version of a beautiful song and a perfect long crane shot to end the 100th episode.
