Bwog Exclusive: The Todd from “Scrubs” Interview Spectacular!
Bwog correspondent and masthead editor Justin Vlasits spoke to Robert Maschio, CC ’88 and The Todd on Scrubs, about “The Todd Song”, the Writers’ Guild strike, his days at Columbia and In Rainbows.
Let’s start with the big news of the day. You’re debuting “The Todd Song” on your website and it seems to be the definitive statement on your character. (See below – Ed.)
This character that I’ve created is a total parody, the whole thing is a big gag. I came up with this larger than life character who thinks he’s God’s gift to women and the life of the party wherever he goes and he really just has no understanding of how people see him. That’s the funniest character for me to be, so I just keep trying to push that as far as I can and this song is the latest example of that. Sometimes when I listen to rap I listen to Will Smith sing about Will Smith or Queen Latifah or Diddy, they write songs about themselves. It’s so egocentric to me that I think that the Todd should have a song and it’s basically the Todd’s song about his penis, more or less. I think that your audience would really get that I, Robert, am just perpetuating this gag and that’s what “The Todd Song” is.
