Scrubs season 5

The fifth season of the American comedy television series Scrubs premiered on NBC on January 3, 2006 and concluded on May 16, 2006 and consists of 24 episodes.

For the first three weeks of this, the rerun episode was a cast favorite episode, with available audio commentary tracks on NBC's website to accompany the episodes. Guest stars in the fifth included Jason Bateman and Mandy Moore, as well the introduction of new recurring characters played by Elizabeth Banks and Travis Schuldt. This season was nominated for the Primetime Emmy Award for Outstanding Comedy Series.

The Turk dance
The ninth episode of the season, "My Half-Acre", famously features a scene where Turk, in an attempt to audition for the Janitor's band, proceeds to pull off an impromptu dance. In 2017, the dance would be referred to as the "Default Dance" in the popular video game Fortnite, called so as it is the default dance emote that is applied to the player character. Faison stated that the dance was his own creation and could have been copyrighted, however he did not see the need to, and thus, does not receive any royalties from Epic Games (the company that developed Fortnite) for its use. ==References==
