**SCAD TVfest Honors Television’s Brightest Stars in Atlanta**
ATLANTA — The Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD) held its annual TVfest this week in Atlanta, celebrating “an exceptional group of artists and storytellers whose work reflects television’s enduring power and cultural impact.”
Among the honorees were some of the industry’s most dynamic talents:
– **Quinta Brunson**, creator and star of *Abbott Elementary*, received the Variety Creative Showrunner Award.
– *Tell Me Lies* star **Jackson White** was honored with the Rising Star Award.
– The beloved *Scrubs* cast — **Zach Braff**, **Donald Faison**, and **Sarah Chalke** — took home the Cast Award.
### Rising Star Jackson White Talks *Tell Me Lies*
On The Red Carpet spoke with Jackson White, who portrays Stephen, the toxic love interest of Lucy (played by Grace van Patten) in Hulu’s *Tell Me Lies*. White described playing Stephen as “a good exercise in stoicism.”
Receiving the Rising Star Award at SCAD TVfest, White shared his gratitude:
“It’s great. What an honor. So cool. It’s nice to be recognized in any capacity for all of the pain and the grinding.”
Looking ahead to the highly anticipated Season 3 finale, White teased, “I can’t say it’s a great ending, but it’s going to spark a lot of conversation.” The finale is set to premiere on Hulu on February 17.
### *Scrubs* Cast Reunites Ahead of Revival on ABC
Also at the fest, we caught up with the *Scrubs* cast as they gear up for the show’s ABC revival. The original series aired from 2001 to 2010, and the new version will premiere on February 25.
Sarah Chalke reflected on the enduring friendships among the cast:
“I’ve known these guys 25 years.”
Braff and Faison’s on-screen bromance is just as strong off-screen:
“Yeah, it’s mostly thanks to his wife,” Braff joked. “She’s sort of the mediator because we get in bromance disagreements, and he will go off and pout. Then his wife, on the text chain, will be like, ‘Y’all need to work this out.’”
Faison chimed in with a laugh:
“That is 100% true, yes. And I do pout, yes. Yeah, so I really have to give credit to CaCee Cobb, Donald’s wife, because she’s the glue.”
For those new to *Scrubs*, no worries — the revival promises to be accessible to all viewers:
“I promise you, we did the research, and we’re giving you what you want. And if you’re new to the show, you don’t have to watch the old show to enjoy this version of it. It’s for everybody,” said Faison.
