Anyone who’s ever been a kid — which amounts to most of us, save for any robots skimming through — knows that social trolls have been around for way longer than the Internet, and that they’re the worst. Sarah Chalke experienced her first slice of fame-based bullying after becoming the second actress to portray Becky Conner on Roseanne, though the experience seemingly ended in a more positive fashion than what we’re used to seeing online.
Chalke is returning to the 2026 TV schedule for ABC’s Scrubs revival, which aims to follow up on the unpopular series finale of yesteryear, and appeared on Jesse Tyler Ferguson’s podcast Dinner’s On Me to hype it up. But outside of the hospital hijinks, the actress also reflected on her outside-the-norm rise to fame, including the fortunate experience of joining TV’s biggest comedy, albeit in its sixth season, and as a replacement for an actress that TV audiences were already very familiar with. (It’s in the Mount Rushmore of character-swaps alongside Bewitched’s Darren and Fresh Prince’s Aunt Viv.)
