George Clooney shares his true feelings about Noah Wyle's show ‘The Pitt' amidst ‘ER' lawsuit
George Clooney is on the hype train for 'The Pitt.' The 64-year-old actor appeared on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' on Monday and praised his former 'ER' co-star Noah Wyle's popular new medical series, which is at the center of a lawsuit involving 'ER' creator Michael Crichton's estate. 9 George Clooney on 'Late Night with Seth Meyers' on June 2. Lloyd Bishop/NBC via Getty Images Advertisement 'Have you guys seen that show?' Clooney, 64, asked the audience. 'It's so good.' 'I have to say, we've been really dear friends since we did the ['ER'] pilot,' Clooney said about Wyle, 54. 'He is just the most honorable, talented young man.' 9 Noah Wyle in 'The Pitt.' HBO Advertisement Clooney continued, 'I get to say [that] because I'm an old man and I cannot be happier for his success on the show. The show is just a beautiful show, and he does just a great job with it.' Clooney and Wyle worked together on the first five seasons of 'ER.' Clooney departed the series in 1999, while Wyle remained a series regular until 2005. 9 Julianna Margulies, Eriq La Salle, George Clooney, Anthony Edwards, Sherry Stringfield and Noah Wyle in 'ER.'

A rep for Sherri — whose husband died in 2008 — told Rolling Stone that she was involved in making an 'ER' reboot before Warner Bros. allegedly 'abruptly broke off negotiations and announced 'The Pitt' — a carbon copy of the 'ER' reboot that was pitched to her.' 9 Anthony Edwards, Gloria Reuben, George Clooney, Noah Wyle, Sherry Stringfield, Laura Innes, Julianna Margulies, Eriq La Salle in 'ER' Season 3. ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection 9 Ayesha Harris, Noah Wyle, Ken Kirby in 'The Pitt.'

'But on the 30th anniversary of 'ER,' I've never felt less celebratory of that achievement than I do this year.' Advertisement 9 Noah Wyle at Max's 'The Pitt' FYC event at Warner Bros.

'High Potential' season 2: Everything we know so far
"High Potential" is officially coming back for season 2, and the next chapter in Morgan Gillory's unconventional crime-solving journey is already in the works. Production on the new season began in May 2025, and ABC has confirmed that the show is set to return this fall as part of its primetime lineup. The police procedural centers on Morgan (played by Kaitlin Olson), a single mother of three whose job cleaning the LAPD offices takes a sharp turn after her remarkable intellect earns her a spot consulting with the Major Crimes division. "High Potential's" mix of procedural drama and comedic quirkiness helped it break through and make it one of ABC's best freshman series in years. It averaged 11.5 million viewers across the network and streaming platforms like Hulu. Now, with season 2 on the horizon, fans can expect the story to pick up right where things left off. Here's everything we know about "High Potential" season 2 so far. "High Potential" season 2 doesn't have a specific release date yet. However, ABC has confirmed that it is set to return in fall 2025, when it will continue to air on Tuesdays at 10 p.m. ET. According to Entertainment Weekly, the second season could potentially be longer than the first, which consisted of 13 episodes. There have been no additional details provided on that front just yet, though. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. "High Potential" revolves around Kaitlin Olson's Morgan Gillory, so the Emmy-nominated actress will absolutely be back for season 2. Olson brings the same quick wit and physical comedy that made her a standout on "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" and "Hacks," but this time in the role of a genius single mom turned LAPD consultant. She should be joined once again by the show's ensemble of characters: And while JD Pardo's character, Tom, left Los Angeles to go to nursing school at the end of season 1, it's possible he could return, especially if the writers decide to revisit his romance with Morgan. One newcomer set to play a major role in season 2 is David Giuntoli, who fans may recognize from "Grimm" and "A Million Little Things." He's expected to play a dangerous serial killer who taunts Morgan, setting the stage for a bit of a cat-and-mouse arc. There are a few elements in play for season 2 of "High Potential", though there's no clear-cut summary for what's coming up just yet. Showrunner Rob Harthan has offered some commentary as far as what's in the works for the series, including some hints toward a more complex "big bad" that might surface in the new season. "I love a good serialized villain," he told The Wrap. Season 1 ended with a couple of big cliffhangers, including the reveal that Morgan's ex-husband, Roman, is definitely alive. With that in mind, Harthan doesn't want to leave audiences hanging too long. The plan for season 2 is to get into that mystery right away, while also weaving in an entirely new threat: a serial killer who seems to have taken an interest in Morgan. That includes diving deeper into Morgan's backstory, her complicated co-parenting relationship with Ludo and Roman's potential reappearance. "I think the audience has a real appetite to find out what really happened [between them]," Harthan said in an interview with TVLine. 'What was it like the day they sat down and had a conversation about what wasn't working? How did they decide how they should co-parent? What caused that? So now it's our job to come up with a story." Giving the second season additional episodes to breathe can go a long way toward establishing those storylines and much more, and it's something that even star Katilyn Olson is "excited" about, in addition to the ability to "explore the relationships between characters more." "A first season, you really have to give the main character most of the heavy lifting, because that's the person that you're interested in," she told EW. "I know that people are excited to dig into all of our other wonderful actors and their characters' background, so I think that that'll be really fun to do."

Sleep in the Clouds at Shangri-La The Shard, London
Sleep in the Clouds at Shangri-La The Shard, London originally appeared on L.A. Mag. The Shard building, designed by the Italian architect Renzo Piano to represent, as its name suggests, a shard of glass, is more than an iconic landmark. As the tallest building in the United Kingdom — standing 1,016-feet tall — the eco-conscious high-rise shines brightly over the Thames and some of the city's most recognized landmarks, such as St. Paul's Cathedral and the Tower Bridge. The behemoth is also home to Shangri-La The Shard, London, a five-star hotel that starts on the 34th floor and climbs up 18 stories to house its 202 rooms and suites, all with breathtaking vistas that can be taken in without leaving the luxury linens of the bed. In fact, there is little reason to leave the hotel at all if one is looking for unmatched luxe service and worldly, award-winning cuisine, especially after being greeted by General Manager Kurt Macher and his adorable little dog Rocky. Like many luxury properties, Shangri-La The Shard is leaning into not just being dog friendly, but encouraging the property to offer pet-passionate accommodations with Rocky acting as the unofficial diplomat for his fellow furry friends. The hotel's TING restaurant includes a renowned afternoon tea, and for those who don't suffer from vertigo, a visit to GONG — on the building's 52nd level, the highest hotel bar in Western Europe— is a must. But the real delight is the spa with an infinity pool that hovers over the entire city. This summer, the Shangri-La The Shard, London is offering an Eat, Play, Love package inspired by the bestselling book of a similar name by Elizabeth Gilbert, which became a hit movie starring Julia Roberts. You can Eat your way through the iconic Borough Market alongside an award-winning chef who will help handpick the finest seasonal ingredients - with a quick stop at the doorway of the building that served as the movie home of beloved character Bridget Jones - before returning to the hotel where the chef will prepare a personalized meal based on your choices. Or experience a high tea in the exquisite Hollywood star-worthy suite (rumor has it Beyonce posted up here) with delightful treats. Play came in the form of a private yacht experience along the Thames with bites and sips as we took in the sights, which included the headquarters for the legendary spy agency (Bond, James Bond) MI5 headquartered in the Thames Building and the neighborhoods built along the river. Love can certainly be found in the serene and scenic heights of the spa, where Elemis facials can be had in private rooms located high above London. Languishing in the warm waters is the epitome of romance, as are the bathtubs for two in many of the hotel's rooms. The city itself is spectacular, a walkable neighborhood and The Shard is in the center of it all. This story was originally reported by L.A. Mag on Jun 3, 2025, where it first appeared.
