Summary

What can’t Zach Braff do? Seriously—he directs his own T-Mobile commercials, and today he joins Dana and David for a hilarious convo. They dive into Zach’s love of The Church Lady, what it was like having dinner with Spade and Howard Stern, and David drops an all-time story: which one of Zach’s close friends did he once have a threesome with??? Plus, Zach reflects on his journey—from making a pilot with Gwyneth Paltrow at just 14, to starring alongside Natalie Portman in Garden State, to what hosting SNL is really like. They also get into how Scrubs found new life without feeling like nostalgia bait, and why Zach and Donald Faison remain one of the great on-screen duos.
