Sarah Chalke to star in ABC pilot

Los Angeles: ‘Scrubs’ star Sarah Chalke is returning to ABC with another comedy project.Chalke has joined the cast of ‘Freshmen,’ which centers on the friendship of three freshmen members of Congress -- two men and a woman -- who live together in D.C. Chalke will play the woman, Jane, a beautiful, smart and funny freshman Congresswoman who was the VP at a multi-billion dollar company when she was just 28, and who won her district with the largest margin of any candidate since 1977. However, when it comes to men, Jane is a disaster waiting to happen. Greg Malins (‘How I Met Your Mother’) wrote the script and is executive-producing with Arianna Huffington. Chalke, who played Dr. Elliot Reid on ‘Scrubs’ for eight years, reprised the character in several episodes of the show this season. Bureau Report
