Yes, George Clooney Has Seen The Pitt — Here's What the ER Vet Had to Say About Noah Wyle's New Medical Show
TV's erstwhile Dr. Ross speaks highly of Dr. Robby: During an appearance on Monday's Late Night With Seth Meyers, George Clooney sang ER co-star Noah Wyle's praises, marveling at his performance in the Max medical drama The Pitt. 'Have you guys seen that show?' Clooney asked Meyers' audience. 'It's so good, and I have to say: We've been really dear friends since [ER] — since we did the pilot of the show. He is just the most honorable, talented young man, [which] I get to say 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.' More from TVLine The Pitt's Noah Wyle & Co. Talk Taking Robby to the Very Edge in Finale and 'Getting Mentally Healthy' in Season 2 The Pitt Season 2 Premise, Time Jump and Premiere Month Confirmed — Plus, Who Is (and Is Not) Returning Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale Trailer Offers First Glimpse at Maggie Smith Tribute - Watch Clooney's recognition followed an anecdote about his days as hotshot County General doc Doug Ross, and how often he struggled with some of the medical jargon. 'We used to do these things called oners,' he recalled. 'You've got to get 12 pages of dialogue out and nobody can screw up, or you have to start all over again. I'm at the very end of the oner, at Page 12, and I have one line — supraventricular tachyarrhythmia — and I'm telling you, I never got it! Literally! We did, like, 40 takes, and the rest of the cast is, like, 'Are you f–king kidding me?'' When Meyers pointed out that Wyle is once again faced with difficult doctor terminology, Clooney noted that Wyle 'never had trouble' on ER. 'He always could do it, and I hated him for that,' the Tony nominee deadpanned. Clooney and Wyle recently reunited with fellow ER castmates Anthony Edwards and Julianna Margulies at the April premiere of Clooney's Broadway show, Good Night, and Good Luck, which is up for five Tonys this weekend. CNN is set to broadcast the penultimate performance on Saturday, June 7. The Pitt, meanwhile, took home the Gotham Award for Breakthrough Drama Series on Monday. The streaming hit was previously renewed for Season 2, which is set to premiere in January 2026.

How the Kohli-Shastri partnership turned India into a real force in overseas conditions
Mumbai: When Virat Kohli reflects on his Test career, he will always look back at his partnership with coach Ravi Shastri with great pride. The two proved to be a perfect fit -- aggressive, not ready to take a backward step, showing no hesitation in taking strong decisions. Extroverts, they would provoke the opposition, even ruffle the feathers in their own dressing room to keep players on their toes, but their success means the Kohli-Shastri era will go down as the golden period of India's Test team — the high point being the 2018-19 series win in Australia , becoming the first Asian team to beat Australia at home. Kohli announced his retirement from Test cricket on Monday, marking an end to an illustrious 14-year-old career, and Shastri, who served as India's head coach during most of Kohli's captaincy tenure, lauded the impact the duo had together. 'Can't believe you are done. You are a modern-day GIANT and were a fantastic ambassador for Test match cricket in every way you played and captained. Thank you for the lasting memories you've given to everyone, and to me in particular. It's something I will cherish for life. Go well, champ,' Shastri posted on social media. For any player to be able to realise his full potential, the right support system is the key. Kohli enjoyed the backing he got from Shastri & Co. The two first worked together when the former India all-rounder took over the director of Indian cricket team for a period of eight months from India's tour of England till the 2015 World Cup. Kohli was coming off a disastrous 2014 tour of England where he averaged 13.40 in five Tests. Shastri helped take the pressure off Kohli. The results were instantaneous. On the tour of Australia in 2014-15, the batsman hit four centuries in eight innings at an average of 86.50. In the middle of the series, he was appointed the Test team's captain. 'You can't pinpoint one thing, you got to have minds that are similar when it comes to the way forward, what's your end goal, how you want to achieve it, how you want to build your team, I think a lot of things fell in place from the beginning and hence that kind of success,' Shastri had told HT when asked about their partnership during an interview on the eve of Kohli's 100th Test match. In July 2017, the Kohli-Shastri team restored when the Mumbaikar was appointed as the head coach of Indian cricket team. For the connoisseurs of Test cricket, a thrilling period followed. It was the start of a tough cycle that saw India play away tours against South Africa, England and Australia. Doing well overseas is what defines Kohli's term. As captain, he was driven by the desire to chase victories in SENA countries and he led by example in that quest. The 2018-19 tour to Australia will go down as Kohli's finest hour as captain when he captained India to a historic series win. Shastri helped his captain galvanize the troops by changing their mindset. At home, they routed all oppositions but they took everyone by surprise with their aggressive body language during the 2017-18 South Africa series. After losing the first two Tests, Kohli led his side to victory in the third Test on a minefield of a pitch at Johannesburg's Wanderers Stadium, where the ball threatened the limbs and head of the batters. 'We wanted to compete; there was no point in going overseas and then just accepting the inevitable. You go there and say, it is the same pitch for both sides, let's compete. I mean, winning and losing keeps happening but give it your best shot. Get yourself in a position to win games, which means you have to take 20 wickets, you know all that kind of stuff,' said Shastri, who credited the transformation to the fitness culture initiated by Kohli. It was one area where the previous India players had always lagged behind when up against the South Africans, Australians, New Zealanders or Englishmen. 'It was always about the challenge for Kohli and wanting to compete; the level of fitness... how he changed suddenly from what he was in 2008-09 – 2012 to the sudden transformation in the last five to six years in his work ethic, his diet, the kind of sacrifices he made.' One of the factors in the team's success was its planning and strategy. An astute brain, Shastri backed Kohli with his tactical inputs to outwit oppositions. As a batter he played his best cricket from 2016 to 2019. His tremendous work ethic was backed by thorough analysis. 'He asked honest answers of his coaches, he would want to be watched very carefully, even for little, little things. He would see if his footwork was right, his balance was right, little things when sometimes when you are out on the road for so long you forget things which can creep in without your realising. 'I would only tell him something if there was a need to tell him, or if you had answer to what you were going to tell him to do. It is pointless to say, this is not right, but what is the solution to it, if you don't have the solution then there's no point saying it,' Shastri said in the interview, while picking Kohli's 123 in the second Test of the 2018-19 series at Perth as the batsman's finest work he has seen. India were under pressure after Australia scored 326 and it was a tough, pacey pitch to bat on. The tourists went on to lose the game but Kohli's first innings knock received rave reviews. 'Plenty of his innings stood out, not all of them have to be hundreds. One in Perth stands out because it was an awkward track, the bounce was uneven and he stood out amongst every batsman in that match... that's what marks out the best because the pitch is the same for everybody but then one guy stands out and he stood out,' Shastri said. For the former India coach, the qualities that stood out in Kohli were: 'His work ethic, his professionalism, his hunger for success, hunger to be the best in the world. He has certainly done enough to go down as a great player.'

Liam Scales looks back on pivotal Celtic moment that launched career as he reveals madcap Rangers preparation
72 hours ahead of the Old Firm at Ibrox, the defender has been out fly fishing for some peace and tranquility AS contrasts go, it's about as stark as they come. Just 72 hours before walking out to a cacophony of Old Firm noise at Ibrox, Liam Scales was sitting in silence at the side of a Scottish riverbank. His biggest exertion of energy was casting his fishing rod and catching a bite. On Thursday the big Celtic defender was fly fishing in his spare time. For a few hours there was peace and tranquillity all around him. Which is the exact opposite of what he'll face in Govan this afternoon. There will be the usual bedlam for the latest Glasgow derby, even with Scales & Co having already wrapped up the Premiership title. His every touch will be hounded by 45,000 Rangers fans, urging their side to make it three wins out of three against Celtic. While the Hoops supporters in the corner – at an away Old Firm game for the first time in years – will want to celebrate Four-in-a-Row by putting Gers in their place. Scales is ready for the madness to ensue. But it will be a world away from how he prepared for it earlier in the week. The Republic of Ireland centre-back said: 'I was out fishing on Thursday, I caught a little brown trout. 'I'm getting better at it. I'm certainly better than I was this time last year. 'Fishing is good for keeping your mind clear and getting away from football. In that sense, I quite enjoy it. 'I get away from everything down by the river, either on my own or with someone, just casting away. 'Scotland is good for fly fishing. There are brilliant rivers everywhere. 'In general, before this game, you have to forget about the outside noise and prepare like you do for every match. 'You need to think about it as just 11 players on each side with a ball – and do normal stuff. 'Yes, there is added pressure that you need to deal with. But that's fine.' In September 2023, Scales was handed an Old Firm debut by boss Brendan Rodgers with Celtic missing key defenders. It was a pivotal moment in the 26-year-old's career. He was outstanding at the back as they won 1-0 thanks to Kyogo Furuhashi's strike. Scales has barely looked back since. But he admits that if he HADN'T stood up to that Ibrox test he might not be at Celtic now. He said: 'There were a few injuries that day and I got the chance. It was a big one for me. 'I had to take it to prove that I could handle the pressure of playing for this club. 'That was where it really started for me. 'After that I properly became part of the team. 'I do feel more settled now but, with that one at Ibrox, I was probably less nervous than I will be now because it was a free hit for me. 'I didn't feel pressure even though if I hadn't performed I'd probably have been out of the club. 'In a weird way I had nothing to lose. 'I didn't expect to be in that position when I came back from my Aberdeen loan. 'Nobody expected me to start against Rangers but I was chucked in and took my chance to impress.' Scales arrived almost unnoticed from Shamrock Rovers in summer 2021 but has now racked up six trophies at Celtic and played for the Hoops in the Champions League. He lapped up last weekend's title triumph at Tannadice as they clinched the league flag against Dundee United. But he'll never take the success – or his place in the team – for granted. He has fought hard to nudge US international and £6million signing Auston Trusty out of the starting line-up. But he says that kind of fierce competition is par for the course with Rodgers' champions. He's in possession of the jersey alongside Cameron Carter-Vickers at the back –and Celtic are flying at the tail end of the campaign. Scales said: 'You need to savour these moments. This is why you start playing the game as a youngster. 'You want to play in big games, win trophies, and we enjoyed ourselves last week. We always do. 'You can't underestimate how big an achievement it is and I'm delighted to get that trophy. 'There is competition all over the pitch at this club. It's not just for our position. 'But sometimes the team needs to be freshened up and different games will suit different players. 'We (Scales and Trusty) both understand that but it has been good. 'It keeps you on your toes and at the top of your game. 'If you aren't playing well then you know you will be taken out. 'I broke my jaw against St Mirren and had to get an operation to fix it. 'So I missed a lot of football but thankfully it's healed and I'm sorted now. 'I did a lot of work with the strength and conditioning coaches here when I was out – and I actually felt fitter when I came back into the team. 'We are in good form just now and it has been a great few weeks for us, scoring five goals in three successive matches. 'We have been playing well and it was great to finish the title off like we did.'

Runners take on Colchester's cancelled Hometown Half Marathon
Runners were left disappointed when they turned up to a half marathon they had paid to enter to find no signs of an organised Hometown Half Marathon, from Colchester to Brightlingsea in Essex, was due to take place on Sunday, but participant Abbi Lawrence said there were "no signs of any organisers" at the start Lawrence said she and 10 other runners decided to complete the route Simon Dickerson said the event had continued to be advertised online in error after its cancellation and that full refunds would be given. "There were obviously many upset runners who had prepared for a half marathon race," Ms Lawrence said she had paid £31.50 to take part in the race when she signed up in November and received a reminder email from the ticketing website Eventbrite, seen by the BBC, on Friday."It makes me wary of signing up to small races in the future, whereas I like to try and support smaller events," she added. Anthony Chatters said the blunder left him "so angry I ran my fastest ever trail half marathon".He added: "It's not really the money that bothers me, it's the training you do for it, the keeping your weekend free for it, the arranging child care so you can get there."His family made a makeshift finish line for him to cross when he reached the end of the 13.1 mile (21.1km) course.W6 & Co is the company that continued to promote the race on its website as recently as Mr Dickerson said the event went ahead as planned in 2023 and said it did not return this year "because hardly anyone was participating"."If anyone purchased a ticket we'll make sure it gets refunded," he organiser of this year's event on Eventbrite was listed as Eveson Row & Co, a company which Mr Dickerson was previously a director said it was not aware of the cancellation, adding participants can apply for a refund on its website.
