Good Night, and Good Luck: Live Broadcast of Broadway Play Delivers CNN's 2nd-Biggest Night of 2025

'Twas a good night, indeed. CNN's live broadcast of the George Clooney-led Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck on Saturday night reached 7.34 million global viewers, including streaming audiences on Max and More from TVLine Ratings: Tony Awards Surge 38% to Biggest Audience Since 2019 Yes, George Clooney Has Seen The Pitt - Here's What the ER Vet Had to Say About Noah Wyle's New Medical Show Adolescence Rises to No. 2 on Netflix's All-Time Top 10, Passing Stranger Things 4 - And There It Will Stay The Stateside share of that audience tallied 5.64 million people, with an additional 1.7 million tuning in internationally. On CNN alone, Good Night, and Good Luck drew north of 2 million total viewers, fueling a No. 1 ranking across all of cable for the day, and leading the newser to its second-highest Prime (7 pm-11 pm) delivery of the year in total viewers — trailing only President Trump's address to Congress on March 4. Good Night, and Good Luck gave CNN its third-biggest event of 2025 on the Max platform, viewing peaked at 8:33 pm (during the closing monologue of the performance, suggesting sustained tune-in). Of note, 155,000 total people attended Good Night, and Good Luck performances throughout its nine-week Broadway run. Based on the 2005 film of the same name, Good Night, and Good Luck — which wrapped its Broadway run on Sunday — starred ER alum Clooney as legendary CBS journalist Edward R. Murrow. The true story takes place in the 1950s, as Murrow came under fire for criticizing Sen. Joseph McCarthy, who levied unsubstantiated charges of communism at various Americans during the Cold War. The 100-minute production ran without intermission, as it has since it opened at New York's Winter Garden Theatre on April 3. Clooney directed the 2005 film, in which he played Murrow's producer, Fred Friendly. In the Broadway show, Friendly is played by Glenn Fleshler (True Detective). Clooney and Grant Heslov wrote both the movie and the play. The play's cast also includes Clark Gregg (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.), Ilana Glazer (Broad City), Carter Hudson, Paul Gross, Christopher Denham, Fran Kraz, Mac Brandt, Will Dagger and Georgia Heers. The production is nominated for five Tony Awards, including Clooney for Best Performance by an Actor in a Leading Role in a Play.

Miami's Newest Restaurant Openings, June 2025

Having trouble keeping up with all the new establishments popping up? Here are some noteworthy restaurants opening around Miami this June. Located inside the Orcidea Hotel, Donatella offers classic Italian fare such as polipo al Insalata, carpaccio gambero rosso, rigatoni nduja, and black truffle cacio e pepe. Dishes are made with fresh ingredients and feature artisanal pastas. The Empanadas, founded in Key Biscayne, opened its sixth location in South Miami. Choose from 25 different empanadas ranging from standards like beef and chicken to sweet varieties filled with apple pie or Nutella and brownie. There are also vegan choices, so everyone can enjoy empanadas. Celebrity chef and humanitarian, José Andrés, opened Aguasal and Bar Centro at the Andaz Miami Beach Hotel. Aguasal, named for agua salada, the Spanish term for saltwater, is a restaurant celebrating coastal Mediterranean fare. Dishes include mussels saganaki with feta and chives; roasted cauliflower with tahini, sesame seeds, ground coriander, pomegranate, and puffed quinoa; and a whole snapper. Fans of chef Andrés will be familiar with Bar Centro, an indoor-outdoor bar with ocean views. Enjoy a key lime pie daiquiri and snack on Spanish tapas and sandwiches. Macchialina's Michael Pirolo, along with managing partners Jennifer Chaefsky and Jacqueline Pirolo, have opened Fluke, a combination cocktail lounge and seafood spot inside the former Macchialina space. As the name implies, martinis are the house drink, paired with seafood selections from a rotating menu of raw and fried items and crudos. There's also a great burger, rosemary-dusted, hand-cut fries, and a selection of natural, biodynamic wines. Stop in for the Lucky $7 Martini Happy Hour from 5 p.m. to 7 p.m., featuring a selection of martinis for seven bucks. Francesco, a Coral Gables favorite for Peruvian cuisine, has reopened after a seven-year hiatus. The restaurant, which attracted celebrities such as Gloria Estefan and Pitbull, recently reopened at a new location on Miracle Mile. Dishes include a cannelloni stuffed with chicken stew, a New York strip with gnocchi, and a catch of the day. If you're seeking romance, 'Wednesdate' nights offer live music, starting at 7 p.m. Located inside a former Lutheran church, Jay's may be one of Fort Lauderdale's most unique venues. With stained glass windows, arched windows, and vaulted ceilings, you might just exclaim, 'holy cow' (pun intended) when your steak arrives. Expect seafood towers, steaks, and sides – plus a prime rib trolley, where your meat gets wheeled to you and serviced tableside. Jay's trades its restaurant persona after hours for a late-night speakeasy. If that's not swanky enough, Jay's offers a membership club with exclusive benefits for $800 per quarter. Mai Sushi & Tapas Bar, a Japanese-Vietnamese sushi and tapas bar located in Coral Gables, offers a diverse selection of sushi, sashimi, and hot and cold tapas in a modern, funky setting. Find a large choice of rolls, including the Crunchy Coral Gables with tuna, white fish, salmon, avocado, fried garlic, eel sauce, spicy mayo, and tempura flakes. Also, take a look at the skewers and dumplings. Buenos Aires-based Niño Gordo has opened a branch in Wynwood, offering Asian fusion cuisine that melds Japanese, Korean, and Southeast Asian flavors with Argentine grilling techniques. Award-winning bar consultant Christine Wiseman heads the cocktail program. The flagship location has earned the #34 spot in Latin America's 50 Best list. St. Augustine's Odd Birds Cocktail Lounge and Kitchen pops up in Little Havana for an open-ended run inside Pocho's Express. The lounge offers cocktails made with Latin American spirits and fresh fruits. Inter Miami fans should check out the Don't Mess with Messi, made with Fernet Branca and pineberry sage syrup. Food is provided in-house by Colombian restaurant Sanpocho. Direct from Guadalajara, Sala de Despecho ('Heartbreak Room' in English) knows that bad dates are a universal experience. The restaurant invites you to eat tacos, drink mezcal, and sing your heart out — literally — with a version of drunken karaoke. If you're looking for a place guaranteed not to be filled with bridal shower parties on a Saturday night, this is the right place. New York City's Serafina expands its Florida outreach with a new location at Miami Worldcenter. The restaurant at Aventura Mall offers wood-fired pizzas, pastas, and standard Italian red sauce fare. Skinny Louie won the 2025 South Beach Wine & Food Festival's Burger Bash for its 100% Angus beef smash burgers. The concise menu offers those burgers in a few iterations (and an Impossible version), fries, and shakes. This simple strategy has proven effective, with Skinny Louie branching out into Coral Gables, and expanding to Danie Beach, Aventura, South Miami, West Palm Beach, and New York City soon. Japanese cuisine and American smokehouse barbecue marry at Ukiah. Chef Michael Lewis brings his Asheville restaurant to Fort Lauderdale, where diners can enjoy sushi, sashimi, dumplings, and more, with a river view. The star of the show is Lewis's smoked platters. Diners can choose from a smoked half chicken, Carolina pork shoulder, brisket, or pastrami short rib — each served with pickled vegetables, kimchi, and toasted rye bread — and large enough for sharing. This much-loved Italian restaurant closed last year, only to reopen recently across the street from its original location in the Farinelli space, which Strada owner Javier Uribe also owns. The new Strada in the Grove effectively merges both spots, offering classic Italian dishes with Farinelli's wood-fired pizzas. See More:
