The Janitors Name

[VsNSwaggzZ]

Guys u relise JOSH is Janitor Of Sacred Heat

[MisterPEENG]

J.O.S.H.

Means Janitor of Sacred Heart

[pacioco898]

His name is John Dorian Sr. cause in one episode he said to JD that he was his real father... and janitor tells always the truth :P

[ashystyle]

Neil Flynn

[315064677]

His name is Glen Matthews, the producer of Scrubs said it in a video message.

[gl84val]

@315064677 True, Glen Matthews is his name. Check out Scrubs Wiki :

scrubs.wikia.com/wiki/Janitor

[snuke1000]

Im am so close it's tommy josh ??????

[linus0111]

@snuke1000 Glen matthews 

[ShinigamiMischief15]

lots of people say that his name is glenn mathews but remember theres a guy that walks past saying "hey Tony" when the janitor tells JD his name theres also this josh thing so well atleast in my case i have no idea...

[awpkiller5811]

his name is Jan Itor

[sandermand4ever]

The janitors name is Glenn Matthews !

[Terri2o1o]

His name is Glen Matthews, Bill Lawrence even said it. He said he was named after the janitor of Clone High, and his name is Glen.

[40Pacino]

I love using Janitor's quotes in my day to day life, like his "Backstabber, poacher, Josh" comment

[NuttDog117]

Hey Johnny!



[K1ngNoctisXIII]

Janitor is making everyone crazy ...Glen,Josh,Tommy but nobodoy is 100% sure XD

[GotenksJJ2]

Hi name is Glen Matthews i think!

[Floordford]

I think the janitor is The Stig on Top Gear.

[BethsDreamland]

@Floordford The Stig already revealed his identity, didn't he? He's published a book and everything... I think they fired him for it... XD

[Floordford]

@BethsDreamland You saw a "man".

[BethsDreamland]

@Floordford Yes, yes I did. ^_^;

[insert the fact that I'm dumb and totally missing your point]

[Floordford]

@BethsDreamland im kind of a Scrubs nerd. There was an episode called My Old Man where JD saw the Janitors father. Then in a later episode JD referenced that man as the Janitors father and the Janitor said "No, you saw a man." Basically saying that he tricked JD into thinking that who he saw was his father. Therefore, you saw a man go to court and make a book. It wasnt the Stig though. I hope you followed.

[BethsDreamland]

@Floordford XD I see. My bad. Not watched it in a while so I wouldn't have got it. >_< Indeed - it could all have been a trick to get more publicity. ^_^

[CptSlamtastic]

I'd just say the Janitors real name is Neil Flynn, he plays himself. His role as an actor in The Fugitive is mentioned in one of the episodes.

[motorandi4]

in a scene Carla call im Lertch

[EmzyLeary]

omg i know what his name is, its janitor!

[TheBanjoLord]

he looks like an Edward to me....

[wyokid999]

HEY! My name is Josh!

[theqweschunmark]

actually, in the commentary of the season 8's DVD, Bill Lawrence states that The Janitors name is indeed Glen Matthews.

[swirltail]

Actrully, I believe his name is "Tom" 

[camobeast100]

He has the same name as the janitor from Clone High (who's name is Glenn).

[BeterGaJe]

Glenn Matthews is the name.

[DirtyDean0]

@BeterGaJe but then a nurse walks past him and says "whats up tony"

[asaaqas]

i know its just a show but why didnt anyone just break into his personel records and find his real name

[0Dac]

@asaaqas Because he changed those records, he has ''keys for everything''.

[WhizBangTrio]

@0Dac its actually just one key to everything.. haha when kelso quit and the janitor got fired the new chief of medicine took his all purpose key and your right he did change the file

[DirtyDean0]

@asaaqas the janitor refers to his own personel files, and it says that his name is something like "fishface figglebottom" and he lives on the adams family street

[mrjoshua1983]

GLENN MATTHEWS!!!

[Stain319]

hahahaaaaa, his name's a mystery!! >:D

[kataraokasan]

His name is Jan Itor Pronounced Yan E-tor. It's German I Think...So..tecnecly yes His name is janitor

[MrGHustlah]

@kataraokasan Believe me there is no one in the world named that mainly becuase Jan is a dutch name and Itor is Russian.

[Superjocke92]

@MrGHustlah Really? Jan is swedish to.

[narutofan625boysback]

@kataraokasan Jan Itor is only when he pretends to be a doctor, no one knows the janitors real name

[Kanzuko]

Tony

[zadiiten]

His name is The Janitor :@

[MissBekaBoo1]

His name is Tom!!!!!!

[minimandude]

haha i love how they still leave u in a mystery about the Janitor's name

[ChromatiCHD]

I think he's been telling us his name all along. Jan Itor

[jackwuzhear]

@ChromatiCHD

Actually, he's Yon Etor

[meganconfession]

@jackwuzhear its actually JAN

[MultiMusicMeister]

Possible names so far: Josh, Glenn Matthews, Toby.

[MrRyguy7]

@MultiMusicMeister it's Tommy not Toby

[Jallorn]

@MultiMusicMeister Michael once.

[partygirl209]

he'll always be the Janitior to me!!

[biggyshack]

"JOSH!"

lol lol

uber epic

why did this show ever got cancelled i will never know

[CelesteStorywriter]

@biggyshack Well, the spinoff season got canceled (thank God), but the original show ended with a finale and everything.

[GaaraAbarai]

Its an on going joke in the series who cares! And if his name really was the same as the actor why would the creator tease about his real name in the final episode?

[7gamex]

@GaaraAbarai

Because it is fun to tease.

[admiralkabelsatan]

@GaaraAbarai i know you posted this like 6 months ago, but the reason off all the fuzz of the janitors name is that the creator said that the show ends, when the janitors name is reveled, and thus the fuzz over the janitors name:) not meaning to sound like douche or anything, just in case you didn't know:)

[IrishBagel07]

@GaaraAbarai because he can

[BloggerPhilly]

i think hes playing himself, as he owns up to being in the fugitive, which he actually was. If thats not it then he has no name, which the show has done for dramatic effect and theres no point guessing his name is josh or ben or whatever because he is achelly a fictional character so if the show dont give him a name, he doesnt have one.

[ghostprojectvlogs]

@BloggerPhilly Correct, my presumption exactly. You and I are the only two apparently who get the subtext of the subject material at hand in this scene and the many others in the 'Scrubs' series.

[jshspeight]

What's wrong with the name Josh?

[TMacvsLeBron]

jan itor all the way, the best of his many names

[ghostprojectvlogs]

Actually, remember that episode when JD discovers that the Janitor was in 'The Fugitive' as a cop on a train? Then later, the Janitor owns up to it and says that really was him? That would mean that all you have to do is look up the actor who played in 'The Fugitive', and that would be the Janitor's name since it is the character of the janitor who is playing in that movie. Neil Flynn. At least that makes sence to me...

[BloggerPhilly]

@ghostprojectvlogs his actual real name is Neil Flynn, because it was him in the fugitive.

[IronChefWannabe]

@ghostprojectvlogs

no, because looking up the name of the actor would just give you some made up name he uses for acting, not his real name.

Like if you looked up a name of the guy who was the lead in Mission Impossible and found Tom Cruise and think that's really his name you'd be wrong. Its really Thomas Mapother IV

[ghostprojectvlogs]

@IronChefWannabe Your example using Tom Cruise would be correct. But since it was the Janitor saying that it was him, as the Janitor, in the movie The Fugitive, then if the Janitor was a real person then the Janitors real name would be on the credits of that movie. It's called a character-witness-situation. Think about it outside the box, I'm sure you'll get it.

[NegahNegah77]

janitors name is the actors real name Neil Flynn.

I can prove it but my english isn't good enough.

ask me and i'll try it to explain-I do not want to disgrace myself here :D

[MrVicinator]

JOSH

Janitor Of Sacreat Heart

[JustThink00]

His name is obviously Jan Tom Tim Josh Glen Matthews Itor Jinglehimer Smith the third.

[Troop3r666]

twice removed

[yotamSchwartz]

@JustThink00 I'm afraid you've forget Junior

[gplr1882]

Glen Matheus is his name :)

[IIzRandom]

Glenn Matthews*

[gravy4everyone]

when he glen mathews the guy says hey tommy so no one can really find his true name.

J anitor

[soso104]

@gravy4everyone

[IIzRandom]

Glenn Matthews*

[londerner5050]

its glenn matthews i think

[IIzRandom]

correct :D

[SuperMike126]

@ all the watchers of season 8´s final:

youre ALL SO SMART.

[JungleVipRS]

He's not called Josh, Glenn or Tom.

He's called Jan Itor. xD

[SuperMike126]

you don´t listen carefully. WTF is "glenn OR tom?"

he said: "...zebra poacher, JOSH and i accepted it, because to each of them there´s a degree of truth" it is a clue for people, which finally understodd Bills sense of humor

[LowNKum]

once it was Dr. Jan Itor

[JungleVipRS]

I know... that's the joke...

[Ghostface2point0]

OH MY GOD JANITORS NAME IS ZEBRA POACHER!!! how could i hav missed that?!?!?!?!

[RAch711baby]

his name is josh!!

[hopently]

lol, in the last episode of the 8th season, the janitor said to JD that his name is Glenn Matthews, but in the next moment, a guy walkst next to the janitor calling him Tommy

I think the Jenitor is called josh...

J anitor

o f

s acred

h eart

[SuperMike126]

oh my shit... youé fulkin geenius. (for real. i´d never expected that "josh could be a shortcut)

[magictacomangapirate]

*jaw drops*

[pcnerd111]

@hopently he didn´t say tommy lol

[dieterturner]

@hopently well, but i think his name is glenn, because it is the end of the season and almost the end of scrubs with J.D.. so i think he telled the trueth to J.D and lies to the guy because the guy was a young new doctor in sacred heart. but i'm not sure^^

[chowdownonrayman]

@hopently yh and then the time the janitor made a joke and someone said quietly ''Nice one Tom''

[qwerty17inv]

@chowdownonrayman Which episode was this?

[hopently]

@hopently yeah, this is a reply to myself...

First: The show didn´t got cancelled.

Scnd: The Janitor got also named Jan Itor, Lurge(the huge Guy of the Adams Family) and Tom :D

[MultiMusicMeister]

@hopently he called him Toby not Tommy I think.

[lonelyblackcat13]

@hopently the guy walks next to the janitor calls him Tony not Tommy

[TheRidiSphere]

@hopently I thought he said Donnie!

[inhumandestroyer]

@hopently nah he's called tommy or tom cos in an episode in like the 5th season or something Dr.Cox calls him over from a group of his mates where one of them says "Nice one Tom" you have to listen hard to hear it, you could probably find it somewhere on youtube. Plus it's ironic cause i stuck with that idea and then in the last epsiode he is called tommy soooo there we go :) plus that josh thing is just ironic lol

[0p3nureyez]

@inhumandestroyer If you remember in one episode, JD found out he was in that movie with Harrison Ford as the cop, and the actors name was Niel Flynn, so itd make sense that the Janitors name is Niel Flynn

[inhumandestroyer]

@0p3nureyez Yeah but that's his actual name lol in real life but that's the thing, Scrubs has left us with the ongoing mystery of the janitor's name, will we ever know for sure haha well no but i'm still going with Tom :)

[jaydotion]

@hopently no if u read the interview it say his name is glen matthews

[Goomba753]

@hopently lol. no.

[DoctaDeath]

@hopently Glenn Matthews is his name, so sayth the creator! take all comments up with him...

[xXXHariboXX]

His real name is Glen Matthews. He says it in the season 8 finale and the producer said that that is he real name.

[UpliftedGames]

you will never know his name..face it lol

[sofie482]

his real name is tom. not josh

[stahlfogel]

no his name is glenn mathews. see my finale (last of season 8) and in the scene you mean he doesn´t say ´nice one, tom` he says: `nice one tell´em`

[Benjodstand77]

I dont really want to know,to me he will always simply be "the janitor"

[gravy4everyone]

we will never know his true name

[allaboutsocr]

@superultra

its not tony, its tommy

[DarkestCharizard]

@allaboutsocr It's Glenn Matthews, he's named after the janitor in clone high.

[ubertaters]

its not Glen Mathews , he lied to J.D.

[DarkestCharizard]

@ubertaters but the creator bill lawrence said his name was the same name as the janitor in clone high as he was the creator in that too so glenn matthews is the name of the janitor in clone high

[allaboutsocr]

@darkest, dont be retarded there are 2 videos revealing his name is tom, or tommy.

[isal9513]

[biatches1990]

@RobDaChoc how do you know that isn't a coincidence?

[SuperUltraEpic9000]

A lot of people say that it's Glenn, but isn't it Tony? I know the Janitor said that it was Glenn, but right after JD walks away another doctor walks by and says "hey Tony" and the Janitor responds to that. Besides, the Janitor constantly lies and messes with JD's head anyway.

[Snegenad1]

There is a lot of speculation about his name. But in My Finaly, for the first time JD asks what his name is.

Aaaand its Glenn Matthews!

[AfterMath4281]

Yes, but if you remember correctly a guy walks past him right after that and calls him Tom.

[orsenn]

No, it's Glenn Maffouuff..

[ExcessiveHorse]

Thats not his name because a few seconds later another man calls him by another name suggesting he made both the names up...

[MrBierfrosch]

noone knows his real name, Neil Flynn was choosing the name of the janitor, but Bill Laurence put the name Tomy on the end just to confuse everybody and kepp it mystirious. Bill pretends that he even dont know the real name, its just all made for promotion :p

[codingBlah]

JOSH just stands for Janitor of Sacred Heart.

:D

[snowleopard01]

Wow. :D

[inhumandestroyer]

its tony !!!

[Henio0]

Janitors? So, there are more than one, huh?

[poopman22321]

@Henio0 yeah. actually.

[Henio0]

What I meant was that the title is incorrect. It should be "Janitor's". But whatever.

[scatman57]

His name is Niel Flynn, since he admitted to J.D. that he played the cop in The Fugitive.

[GermanDarknes]

thats exactly what i said! finally someone with the same theory :D

[inhumandestroyer]

LOOL nah man its tony dude if you didndt hear afte rhe walked away some guy walks up to him and goes hey tony GET IT RIGHT MAAAAANN !!!

[Reqrezentin]

Janitor

Of

Sacred

Heart

JOSH

[ltkirby1989]

ooo!! NICE! +1 :)

[GermanDarknes]

The janitors name is NEIL FLYNN, just like the actors name! Why? Because the janitor plays a cop in "The Fugitive". And in the credits of the movie the name of the cop actor is ->NEIL FLYNN

[Rand0mLogic]

your an idiot

[GermanDarknes]

Why? thats the only logical thing for me, if jd would look in the credits of the movie, he would find the name

[halalrooles]

@Rand0mLogic

no

YOU'RE

and idiot

you see,

the apostrophe makes it you are

your suggests ownership

- for instance, your dog, your cat.

so Rand0mLogic,

You're the idiot

[Rand0mLogic]

Why yes I did ^^ but i was tired and it was a typo not a lack of understanding of the english language. You said and instead of an just then xD so stop trying to lecture me on grammar. You have to agree though, what GermanDarknes said was stupid and made no sense.

[musicislifeohyeah]

tom i never new that so kool

[islander1415]

My god, his name is Tom. Watch the last episode of Season 8. Zach Braff asks for the Janitor's name, to which the Janitor replies, "Glen Matthews." Immediately after Braff leaves, an orderly walks by and says [to the Janitor], "hey Tommy."

[eviexolove]

which just shows how often he lies about his name

[moe11894]

you dont know who he is lying to though were not supossed to know his name thats the point of his character he is unpredictable, dont get me wrong i would like to know his name but then his character would not be as funny if we knew who he actually was

[cobra312004]

That is not his name. It's just showing, once again, that the Janitor lies to everyone. There are also those in the hospital who think his name is Efrem, Klaus and Nigel. But that doesn't make any of those his real name either.

[buakaew88]

Which means, he tells everyone else his name is something else. it's not Tom nor glenn. they made it look like OMG we're gonna know his name, but by the Hey Tom it shows we still don't know. this was what they meant to do with it anyway. but ppl like you actually think it's Tom

[travisharder]

According to an interview before the finale aired, Bill Laurence said it was the same name as the janitor in Clone High, which was Glenn.

[edgelessmoocow]

This doesnt mean his name is tom, he could have lied to the orderly, or to jd or to both. Most likely he lied to both.

[DarkAndrew12345]

Josh = Janitor Of Sacred Heart

[DarkAndrew12345]

Crap, never noticed someone else already said that -_- ignore me

[themaxiscome]

his name be glen neil or tom but it will always be the janitor at heart i dont think they should have gave him a name just simple thejanitor

[mnsportsman3rd]

The Janitors Name Is Glen Matthews It Was On The Last Show Of Season 8

[Trissundessful]

Or maybe his name is Neil Flynn?

[MriLoVeMiLeYcYrUs]

Guys Guys i know his name is ellen ! in episode 6 i dont know but there was a email from him from the janitors and the email from the janitor was ellen you dont see the full but the beginning was ellen

[sargeantscigar]

Wow. Hes been called:

Josh

Tom

Glen

Tony

And Neil.

I think its best to stick with Janitor.

[2gmterminater]

his name is glenn mathews it is wut he tells jd before he leaves sacred heart at the end of season 8

[XxSternchenxX8]

wait a minute he leaves?? omg whyyyy?

[KidStig]

it was the series finale he move on and leaves sacred heart totally didn't mean to see it when I did

[lankylook]

EVERYONE HIS NAME IS THE JANITOR

[framk20]

ITS TONY

TONY

TONY

TONY

TONY

TOny

[wotcher2]

I think Josh may be his middle name. He's commenting on a matter of principle. This is one of the few times the janitor is ever honest in at all.

[Cruelendeavours]

JOSH:

Janitor Of Sacred Heart

[ChaseUbito]

I SO GET IT. That's quick thinkin'. I would have never got that.

[gabas0014]

come on you guys......

its just a joke about a joke about a joke......and i could go on for ever.....

we will never find out his real name.........on the las episode he admited to JD that his real name is Glenn Matthews...... after JD went off a rondom person was walking threw the Janitor and said: Hey Tom......soo it means that he was lying ......and who knows............

he manly was just the janitor......

and we will never find out his real name....

[Cruelendeavours]

Logically, his name is Neil Flynn..

Hear me out.

In an episode he was said to have been an actor in 'The Fugitive'

If this is true we can see when the credits roll and it says that his character is Neil Flynn.

Therefore the Janitor's name is Neil Flynn.

Case closed.

[Soyneil]

wrong wrong wrong

neil flynn is the actors name

[Cruelendeavours]

You completely misinterpreted what I said.

If, in the world of Scrubs, the movie 'The Fugitive' exists. That means that the Janitor used to be an actor. As an actor his name in the credits in 'The Fugitive' is Neil Flynn. Ergo, the Janitors name in Scrubs is Neil Flynn. But I doubt you'll understand.

[Soyneil]

why wouldnt i understand?

i do understand what youre saying

still i dont think thats a proof

[takingstraylight]

could've been a stage name

like tom cruise

[IIR4ng3I]

His REAL name is Neil Flynn duhh..

His name on Scrubs? no-one knows becuz they never gave him a name

Theres a Case closed

[Cruelendeavours]

Wow, I'm so sick of twits like you misinterpreting the whole Janitor name thing. Enjoy the rest of your life and the infinite supply of ignorance that comes with it.

[cheerbear09890]

his real name is tommy

they say it in the 8th season

[toyo2691]

His name isnt' "JAN ITOR"... -.-

Think about it...

If you join JAN and ITOR you get JANITOR...

He has never reveled his true name..

[Yaomingish]

i think they didnt make a name for the janior the whole joke is saying that janitors dont have names and people dont care whats the names of janitors....so they r basically making fun of janitors......

[rsmovielord]

his name isnt Josh...

josh means Janitor Of Sacred Heart...

its also not jan itor, he said that to tease

it could be tom, but the scene were janitor dissed cox the other guy said nice, and another guy said u tell him, but in my finale the orderly calls janitor tommy after janitor lies his name is glenn matthews, but thats probably a lie too
