The Good Word

Wow. I am presently blown away by Kate Micucci, this week’s guest star on Scrubs.

Playing Stephanie Gooch, Ted’s ukulele-weilding love-interest (a peripheral, though hopefully recurring, character), Kate not only stole every scene she was in, but even overcame a great Dr. Cox-centered storyline and claimed for herself the title of the episode, “My Lawyer’s In Love.”

Whether you’ve already seen the show or not, you need to check out this extended version of Ted and Stephanie’s duet as captured in the Scrubs Interns webseries (PG-13):

Immediately after watching the episode, I headed to YouTube to hear this song again. YouTube then led me to the rest of Kate’s video repertoire, including her work with Riki Lindhome in the acoustic-comedy duo Garfunkel and Oates, and the the enthrallingly cute solo piece, “Dear Deer”:

YouTube in turn led me to Kate’s personal site, where I found her 5-song EP “Songs” for sale and immediately snatched it up. Though it only amounts to a little less than 12 minutes of music, every second of it is enjoyable.

Irrepressibly  cute, incredibly witty, and seemingly a reasonable person too, Kate deserves 15 minutes of your time today.

Check out the videos above and head over to Garfunkel and Oates’ MySpace page (and I NEVER endorse MySpace) and check out the “Worst Songs Ever Medley” and “Present Face.”

I’m looking forward to seeing her again on Scrubs, and to the Southwestern US tour (with a stop in Colorado Springs) she owes me for writing this post.

Let me know what you think of her, or better yet let Kate know.

P.S. Since Kate isn’t on Playlist.com, if you’d like to hear this post’s title-song, head to Kate’s MySpace page.
