In a recent appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Joshua Jackson discussed his role in the new talk show, “Dr Odyssey“. The show’s trailer garnered a staggering 77 million views in just 48 hours, a feat that even Jackson admits was completely unexpected.

Portraying a cruise ship doctor, Jackson joins the ranks of iconic TV cruise ship doctors like Doc from “The Love Boat”. However, “Dr Odyssey” takes a unique approach, incorporating some rather strange and hilarious moments. In one episode, Jackson’s character is faced with a man who ate too many shrimps and suffered an allergic reaction. Another episode sees him revealing that he was the first COVID patient zero. The show takes some liberties with its portrayal of medical incidents, including an operation to fix a broken penis.

With a Marvel-worthy view count for its trailer, “Dr Odyssey” is already making a splash. As the show continues to unfold, viewers can anticipate an endless array of disgusting yet entertaining medical scenarios. From broken penises to potentially infinite possibilities, “Dr Odyssey” is sure to keep the audience engaged and curious about what is to come.

Aside from his role on the show, Jackson also shared some humorous anecdotes about his brother, who is an actual doctor. Apparently, the sibling rivalry between the two takes an amusing twist as Jackson’s brother constantly gets asked medical questions based on his on-screen experiences. Needless to say, the real doctor is less than impressed with his brother’s fictional medical expertise.

Additionally, Jackson spoke highly of his co-star on “Dr Odyssey“, Don Johnson, who plays the captain on the show. Johnson, known for his extensive acting career, is said to be a joy to work with on set. Off-camera, Jackson described Johnson as a fascinating storyteller, always willing to share his incredible life experiences. Although Jackson didn’t confirm whether Johnson has ever broken his penis on a ship, he did mention that it wouldn’t be surprising given Johnson’s adventurous nature.

With all the excitement surrounding “Dr Odyssey“, it’s clear that Joshua Jackson has found himself in a hit show. Viewers can catch “Dr Odyssey” on ABC every Thursday night at 9:00. So, grab your popcorn and get ready for a wild and hilarious ride with Dr. Joshua Jackson.
