@HeroSmashXellos Bill Lawrence confirmed it on a bonus disc of the complete series but I like the idea that we don't know it exactly after watching the series. It could be that his name really is Glen Matthews and he told it JD because he asked him about his name after 8 years for the first time. But a few seconds later he is called "Tommy" and it's ok for him! So we will never know if he fooled JD again! I like that idea more!
@HeroSmashXellos That is not really correct. Bill Lawrence said something at a college speech but the show which he refered started in 2002, 1 year after scrubs. That means that the janitor had no name for one year? But yes, at a DVD he says it's his real name. After the "Glenn Methews"-scene a helper said to the janitor "Hey Tommy!"! And he accepted it. In my oppinion he IS Neil Flynn, the actor, because JD saw him in the Harrison Ford film. But I think that it is good to don´t know his name.
@EazyRun Nunja die Hamburger wurden soweit ich weiß auf einer Schiffsfahrt nach Amerika erfunden als deutsche Seemänner es satt hatten immer nur langweiliges Essen zu essen. Also packten sie sich ihr Fleisch zwischen einem Brötchen. Dies wurde schnell kult in Amerika also hat es zwar ein Deutscher erfunden aber in Deutschland kannte das kein Schwein.
The Meat in the Hamburger was the real Hamburger which isnt comparable to todays Hamburger. Also in a Hot Dog there is still a Frankfurter Sausage or some variation of the Frankfurter type used.
in the german synchro he is ole the swedish and doug asks him why it's called to sit behind swedish curtains. (i'm not sure if it's the right phrase. i'm from germany. correct me if it's wrong). the janitor gives him the same answer. we're realy often in scrubs episodes. why? why not the french or the danish?

Well actually, according to one theory at least, the word "hamburger", describing the one you can eat, does descend from "Hamburg", as the original receipt was brought to USA with early colonists from said German city.
@DocAxt according to one theory? Man, the word Hamburger actually means "of Hamburg" in German, same with Frankfurter and Nürnberger. Even people from Hamburg are called "Hamburger" in German.
The Bill Lawrence and the cast of Scrubs openly admitted that not even they knew what the janitor's name was after he left the show in the 9th season, because he was always only the Janitor. They said it in several interviews and director's commentaries. He didn't have a name. Tommy, Glen, and Josh were fake.
I saw it in a Show in german TV (I am german you know) and they said that his name is Tom! It was a small segment in a News Show where unnessecary facts are told (just if you wanted to know)
@AK1MBO his Name is Glenn Mathews. The Producer and the Actor of the janitor said this in a Interview. Both think that the Janitor didnt lie. Sorry for bad englisch ^^
@Lorrer09 In the Episode when he goes to the school of his son to explain his profession, he dresses up as doctor and writes his name on the board. I don't know if it's his right name, but he wrote "Jan Itor"
@Lorrer09 in one episode JD sees him in a movie, and turns out that he is an actor, i forgot the name, but after JD confronts him with it he says "you tell anyone i kill ya"
@fruitsygirl he asks why the city hamburg and the city frankfurt don't have anything to do with hamburgers and hotdogs (the sausages in the hotdogs are called frankfurters). so janitor asks, why the lake titicaca isn't filled with titts and shit (titti=childish expression for titten ("tits") and kacka=childish expression for kacke ("poo/shit") in german)
YES I DO :P thank you for sharing that with me. On a totally different random note, we were born in the same year, (if u were actually bron in 1988 lol) ;)
