Sarah Chalke: TV Guide News

It's Official: Chalke Returning to Mother! Is Brit Next? | Ausiello Report | 4/21/2008
Hear that? It's the sound of fresh ink drying on Sarah Chalke's brand spankin' new How I Met Your Mother contract!Sources confirm to me exclusively that Chalke has formally signed on to reprise her role as Ted's possible future wife in at least one additional episode. (I first reported on the Chalke-Mother negotiations back on April 10.) The Emmy-worthy Scrubs cutup is due back on the Mother set this week to begin work on this season's third-to-last episode. Meanwhile, talks are continuing for... read more
Exclusive: Sarah Chalke Preps Mother of a Comeback | Ausiello Report | 4/10/2008
OMFG, she is so the mother! I think. I'm hearing from multiple sources that Sarah Chalke is in advanced talks to reprise her role as Ted's possible future wife on How I Met Your Mother.In fact, just moments ago, Chalke's Mother crush himself, Josh Radnor — here to shoot a guest appearance for next week's Ausiello Report vodcast — confirmed that we'd probably be seeing Stella for a "few more episodes" this season. He was quick to add, however, that he has no clue whether or not she's... read more
A Tale of Two Britneys: Mother, South Park | Roush Dispatch | 3/25/2008
Which Britney Spears do you prefer: the tragic cartoon version that appeared, head half-blown-off, on last week’s brutal South Park satire; or the silly cartoon version that appeared, mercifully briefly, on Monday night’s How I Met Your Mother? Could the appropriate answer be: Neither? Every time I see or hear about her, in unflattering paparazzi shots or the endless litany of late-night stand-up insults, I can’t help but wonder at a culture so fascinated by someone so... read more
Cheers: Chalke One Up for HIMYM! | Cheers & Jeers | 3/25/2008
Cheers to How I Met Your Mother for booking a brilliant guest star: Sarah Chalke. Oh, Britney Spears was on, too, and she was fine in her relatively minor role as a ditzy receptionist. But as Stella, a dermatologist who removed the butterfly "tramp stamp" from Ted's back, Chalke — reportedly a last-minute replacement for Alicia Silverstone — displayed real chemistry with Josh Radnor. (Not surprisingly, the Scrubs doc looked totally comfortable in her white coat.) CBS' on-the-bubble... read more
Mother Boss: "We Can't Wait for You to Meet Britney!" | Today's News: Our Take | 3/12/2008
And now, a word (or 42) from How I Met Your Mother cocreator Craig Thomas on the week's biggest TV headline, Britney Spears' upcoming visit to the CBS sitcom. "We're thrilled to have Britney Spears on the show," Thomas raves. "Britney is an exciting new talent and we can't wait for the world to meet her. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go check out this 'Internet' thing everyone's talking about."Before Thomas stole away to the nearest Atari 800 and dial-up modem, however, he also weighed in... read more
HIMYM/Britney Fallout: Silverstone Out, Chalke In! | Ausiello Report | 3/11/2008
Britney Spears' havoc-wreaking cameo on How I Met Your Mother has already claimed its first victim. A Mother insider confirms that Alicia Silverstone — who was slated to appear in a multi-episode arc as Ted's dermatologist/lover — has dropped out and will be replaced by Scrubs' Sarah Chalke. Pink Is the New Blog reports that Silverstone bowed out because her reps (understandably) feared she would be overshadowed by Spears, who, per my sources, will play an assistant to the... read more
Episode Recap: "My Number One Doctor" | Scrubs | 12/7/2007
...And this is the Scrubs we've seen a little too much of, of late...good enough to watch, but only intermittently or fitfully funny, and perhaps not quite seemlessly mixing the frequent tragedy of medical life with the various sorts of comedy offered up.A recap can be pretty quick on this episode, since the A, B, and C plotlines are pretty thin in outline: Elliot faces an ethical dilemma when she learns that one of her private-practice patients, dying of ALS, has landed in the hospital in a... read more
Episode Recap: "My Growing Pains" | Scrubs | 11/30/2007
Now, this was the Scrubs we've come to expect...sharp, goofy (but grounded), humane. Very funny, even when (painlessly) lecturing.J.D. hangs out at the nurses' station with Turk...and with his infant son. Turk invites J.D. to play basketball, which J.D. declines, pointing out that his son is strapped to his chest...Turk suggests that he simply won't pass the ball to J.D., and J.D. notes that that would be just like a typical game for them. J.D. also has a brief fantasy about being able to... read more
Episode Recap: "My Identity Crisis" | Scrubs | 11/16/2007
Well, like a baseball (or beisbol) team, sometimes a great series needs a "rebuilding" season. "My Identity Crisis" still wasn't up to the heights of most previous years of Scrubs, but it was the funniest episode of the season so far and it will do.We begin with a dream sequence; Carla (Judy Reyes) is making out with her husband, Turk (Donald Faison) in a hospital bed at Sacred Heart. Turk pulls out a restraint and binds her wrist to the bedframe, but the prospect of kinky fun is dampened by... read more
Episode Recap: "My Inconvenient Truth" | Scrubs | 11/9/2007
Well, despite J.D. (Zach Braff) finally being told by nearly everyone he knows that he needs to grow up, and Cox's useful, if revenge-driven, demand that Elliot recognize that she is starving herself dangerously, this was the frothiest episode of the season so far. And yet, while pleasant, it also managed to be the least funny, even given that it was paced like the most like typical Scrubs episodes of past seasons.As part of NBC's "Green Week" stunt, the episode begins with a discussion between... read more
Episode Recap: "My Hard Labor" | Scrubs | 11/2/2007
Another pretty solid episode — still not Scrubs at its comic best, and still at least as much about the serious subtexts of the series as about the blackouts and fantasy sequences.Kim (Elizabeth Banks) is about to give birth, and J.D. (Zach Braff) is ready for everything... except for openly admitting to Kim that he doesn't love her. Meanwhile, Cox (John C. McGinley) looks for someone competent to give his infant daughter a shot, unwilling to give it to her himself for fear that she'll... read more
Episode Recap: "My Own Worst Enemy" | Scrubs | 10/26/2007
At last, the best sitcom on television is back... alas, for its final, short season.Synopsis: Picking up with the season finale's emotional cliff-hanger, J.D. (Zach Braff] and Elliot (Sarah Chalke) are about to kiss. J.D. speculates that they are both afraid to commit (even to this), but after seeing Elliot close her eyes, he readies himself, only to discover that Elliot is about to call them both to their senses, or at least to get them both to wonder why they keep pulling themselves and each... read more
