Former House doctor Olivia Wilde is bringing together some of the biggest names in fake medicine to pay tribute to the actual hospital workers on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic.
“The closest… I’ve ever come to being a doctor is putting on a costume,” the actress formerly known as Thirteen notes at the start of the epic mashup, before adding tongue-in-cheek, “And while it is close, it is not quite the same. I just want to say thank you to all the real healthcare heroes out there.”
Among the TV vets featured in the video are Wilde’s former House co-stars Lisa Edelstein, Omar Epps, Jennifer Morrison, Kal Pen and Peter Jacobson.
Wilde also recruited cast members from ER (Julianna Margulies and Maura Tierney), Scrubs (Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke and Donald Faison) and Grey’s Anatomy (alums Patrick Dempsey, Sandra Oh and Kate Walsh). Nurse Jackie‘s Edie Falco, The Good Doctor‘s Freddie Highmore and Doogie Howser himself, Neil Patrick Harris, also make cameos.
Check out the full video below:
Did Jennifer Garner play a TV doctor?
Pearl Harbor? 🤷🏼♀️
THIS IS MY EXACT QUESTION. It’s bugging me.
She did play a doctor in Dallas Buyers Club, but I’m not aware of her ever playing a doctor on television.
Not a TV doctor, but she did play a doctor in the movie Dallas Buyers Club.
Well, she must have pretended to be one on Alias surely?
This is why I’m in the comments…I’m trying to figure out what the heck Jennifer Garner is in this video for.
And as great and amazing as this is, all I can do is go “Where is Alan Alda and Mike Farrell?”
84 and 81 years old, respectively…hopefully staying away from EVERYBODY and EVERYTHING. 💕
LOL well yeah but these are being done at home on webcams or phones. Easily enough to do while staying home away from everyone.
They’re 84 and 81 years old and this was shot on webcams and phones. I think you may have inadvertently answered your own question.
Thumbs up! I’d really love to see them <3
Not too long ago, Alan Alda revealed he has Parkinson’s, so there is that to consider too.
You know what would be awesome?
Bringing all those people/shows together for an epic crossover once everything is safe and quarantines ended. Could even have it about the multiple hospitals coming together to fight a pandemic.
I kept waiting for a surprise show up of House himself right in the end saying “Stay home!”
Yeah, I watched it bc I assumed High Laurie would be in it. Kinda bummed he wasn’t.
That would have been epic!
Truly heartwarming video. Kudos to Olivia Wilde and everyone who took the time to appreciate the hard work of the doctors, nurses and the rest of the medicine workers.
Interesting that it’s all former TV doctors and nurses – nobody from a show that’s still running except for the three from Grey’s Anatomy, all of whom have been gone for several years.
Wait, I’m wrong – Freddie Highmore is the one exception.
What TV show was Jennifer Garner on as a medical professional? ❓
Was wondering the same thing…she was a nurse in Pearl Harbor and a doctor in Dallas Buyer’s Club, but not on a tv show as far as I know.
What most people don’t know all ventilations are not created equal. The ventilator needed to possibly maintain oxygenation/ventilation to a patient with ARDS is a very sophisticated machine ,it is maintained by educated and trained Respiratory Therapist. It takes a multi disciplinary team to manage these critically ill patients,Hang in there!
I can’t help but one what real doctor ken jeong is doing right now
He has a new podcast with Joel McHale called “The Darkest Timeline.”
That was great, but no Hugh Laurie??
Yeah, that picture is a bit misleading.
No one from Chicago Hope?! It would’ve been perfect if they’d have gotten a couple of St. Elsewhere folks.
Lower third needs to identify who they are and their most popular medical role, IMHO.
