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 Pitt' star Tracy Ifeachor thinks about Collins and Robby's backstory ‘all the time': ‘It just didn't work out because it's not the right time'
Tracy Ifeachor remembers the moment she knew The Pitt would be a hit — and it's not tied to any one episode or fan reaction. "I want to say something really profound here, but instead I'll say I remember coming in one day and saying to Noah [Wyle], 'Now I know this show is going to be an absolute smash hit because I got my identity stolen three times in the course of a week and all these different things happened,'" Ifeachor tells Gold Derby. "Got stuck in customs. I went, 'There's a lot opposing me when that happened.' I was like, 'Yeah, yeah, this is going to be something.' ... So when, like, 50 bad things happen on a single day, you've got to know that something great is coming around the corner." More from GoldDerby Everything to know about 'The Devil Wears Prada' sequel: Official release date set for May 1, 2026 Cannes 2025 wrap: 'Sentimental Value,' Jennifer Lawrence, June Squibb, and the 2026 Oscar contenders to know 'Ren Faire' director Lance Oppenheim on the corrupting influence of power and accidentally capturing 'America in miniature' In all seriousness, Ifeachor knew the medical drama was a special project from the start between the "amazing cast" and the involvement of executive producer and director John Wells. "I remember feeling like, 'Yeah, this feels special. It feels good. It feels right and truthful." A classically trained actor, the Brit was also attracted to the theater-esque nature of the show that unfolds over 15 episodes a season in real time. The Pitt shoots on a full hospital set in continuity, so everyone is basically around all the time, if not on camera. "I love this kind of, 'Roll up your sleeves. Everybody's there together.' I really enjoy working like that and I really enjoy collaboration. So that's the thing that really makes my heart sing when we get to collaborate," Ifeachor says. "There was a 10-minute discussion — didn't stop a camera — but it was a 10-minute discussion [about] whether or not I could roll my sleeves up because they had just seen me four minutes ago. So yes, they took it very seriously." SEE 'I've never been on a show that got this kind of recognition': Katherine LaNasa on The Pitt's success and Dana's 'existential crisis' As senior resident Dr. Heather Collins, Ifeachor exudes confidence, intelligence, and warmth. When Wells, Wyle, and creator R. Scott Gemmill gave her the character breakdown, they discussed Collins' "pursuit of excellence." Though it wasn't revealed in the first season, Collins went into medicine after a career in finance. "Her mentor convinced her to come into medicine, and she just loved it," Ifeachor says. "So I knew that she was a driven person. She's about her business and she's really caring kind and has a sense of compassion. And her humanity is really key. It's always on display, even when she's busy doing lots of different things." Ifeachor was also informed that Collins and Dr. Robby (Wyle) were exes, a plot point that's not revealed until the fifth episode. "I think Dr. Collins never thought she would see him again. And then here she is matched with the Pittsburgh hospital," she says. "So she ends up working with him, and they kind of have a few awkward moments, but they're full of joy because when someone really knows you, they know how to push your buttons, and you know how to push their buttons." Collins is indeed one of the few people who can call out Robby in the way only someone you're really intimate with can. She's the one who tells Robby, who's working on the anniversary of his mentor's death, to check his baggage at the door like they all do. The 15-hour shift is the worst day of Robby's life, culminating in his breakdown in the 13th episode, but as Ifeachor notes, it's also the worst day of Collins' life. She suffers a miscarriage at the end of the seventh episode — her second attempt with IVF — and has several cases during the day that involves pregnancy, babies, and children. For each and every one, she steadies herself and does her job. In the 11th episode, Collins takes charge of a complicated childbirth, one of the most graphically realistic births portrayed onscreen. Ifeachor pulled from her own experience with compartmentalization. She was diagnosed with dyslexia at 21 and struggled with learning lines, sometimes in a different dialect. They were "all these wonderful challenges that I love, but at the same time having to be on and being your own dialect coach and not having a coach on set... but having to still deliver no matter what, I kind of drew from that because it was a high-pressure situation," she says. "Collins is having a lot of pressure placed on her as well. So I feel like I felt like I kind of lived it." John Johnson/HBO The storylines involving children were all difficult because "every woman knows a woman who has had a miscarriage." Someone in Ifeachor's family lost a baby at seven months. "I still remember that child every now and then. I still think about that child," she shares. "And so coming to this with that kind of history — the whole thing is on [one] day — so you're always thinking about it. It's always on your mind. It was really challenging. It was really challenging. So I had no idea what it would end up looking like, whether it would be something that was really good or something that was there's just no way to know. Sometimes when you're actually making something — I knew the overall piece was good — but I really want to make sure that my part in it, [that] I'm not going to drop the ball for anybody, because this is a really important project, and it means a lot to all of us. And I'm really glad that it translated." Towards the end of the 11th episode, Collins and Robby have an emotional exchange in the back of an ambulance. She opens up about her fertility struggles before revealing she had an abortion a few years ago because she wasn't sure about the relationship. "I never told him," she says. "I was afraid. I was afraid of all of it. But mostly, I was afraid he'd hate me for being selfish." It dawns on Robby that she's talking about him. Robby tells her she was not selfish, and that "he" would forgive her and "he would want you to forgive yourself." "We all need a little bit more grace for ourselves, and then if we have that, we have it for each other," Ifeachor says. She and Wyle never spoke about the scene before filming it. "I think the key is just in those moments to just be really available to each other and just to embrace whatever the other person is giving you. And I feel like certainly I did that, and I feel like certainly he did that as well in that scene. And then just allow yourself to be surprised," she says. "You enjoy just being present with another person and creating something that wasn't there before. And obviously the writing really helped and did so much work for us as well." SEE The Pitt star Isa Briones loves the discourse around Dr. Santos: 'I just want people to feel something viscerally' It's unclear exactly why Collins and Robby broke up, but it doesn't take a brain surgeon to figure out it has to do with the latter not being fully emotionally available. Ifeachor thought about their backstory "all the time." "I was like, 'So what do you think of this?' They're like, 'Nope, nope,'" she says. Robby is "somebody that is not fully in touch with themselves because of trauma, because of just trying to keep going," she continues. "They're always going to feel like they're hiding a little bit of themselves, and that's kind of a lonely place to be in a relationship. And so, after however long of trying to get that part of him, I think you just have to accept the person is not able to give you what you might need in that relationship. And they're a good person. You're a good person. It just didn't work out because it's not the right time." The 11th episode is the last time fans see Collins in Season 1. Robby lets her clock out early and she misses the mass casualty incident that begins at the end of the episode. The team calls her, but she never returns, seemingly passed out and somehow completely disconnected from the world. "That was my question!" Ifeachor exclaims. "I was like, 'But uh...' I have, like, five devices. And I don't look at my phone anyway, and I remember trying to turn off my phone once for like an hour. I was like, 'OK, I'll just get an Uber Eats. Oh, wait, I need my phone for that.' I was like, 'Oh, I'll just get a ...' 'No.' 'What time is it?' My watch is off. It's like, 'This isn't working.' She was, like, curtains out. It had been a long 11 hours, let's just say, for her." But fear not: Collins will be awake and back in Season 2, which takes place 10 months later on the Fourth of July. "I know that there will be a lot of surprises. That is all I could tell you." Season 1 of The Pitt is streaming on Max.

Breaking: ‘The Pitt' star Noah Wyle takes the lead in latest Emmy odds for Best Actor
The Emmy race for Best Drama Actor just received a shot of adrenaline. For the first time since Gold Derby's 2025 Emmys predictions center opened in February, Noah Wyle is leading the odds in this topsy-turvy category. The Pitt star has overtaken Adam Scott (Severance), who has been in the No. 1 position since early March. Before that, Gary Oldman (Slow Horses) was the frontrunner. More from GoldDerby 'Agatha All Along' star Joe Locke on learning from Kathryn Hahn, musical theater goals, and the 'Heartstopper' movie with Kit Connor TV casting directors roundtable: 'The Diplomat,' 'Overcompensating,' 'Only Murders in the Building,' 'Paradise,' 'Doctor Odyssey' How 'Overcompensating' cast one of its writers as its co-lead Max's real-time hospital drama has been on a major upswing since its final episodes streamed in April. In one buzzed-about moment, Wyle's character, Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, had a mental breakdown after a concert shooting brought dozens of patients into his emergency room, including his quasi-stepson's new girlfriend. Wyle is a five-time Emmy nominee for ER (1995-99), but this would be his first win. For Best Drama Series, The Pitt is now tied with The Last of Us in second place, both behind Severance. Taylor Dearden as Melissa "Mel" King and Katherine LaNasa as Dana Evans have both made it into the Top 10 for Best Drama Supporting Actress; likewise Patrick Ball as Frank Langdon is in the Top 10 for Best Drama Supporting Actor.

‘The Pitt' bump: Noah Wyle gaining on Adam Scott in latest Emmy odds
Just days after The Pitt's first season hung up its stethoscope, Noah Wyle's Emmy odds continue to rise. The Best Actor contender, who plays Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, received rave reviews for the storyline in which he had a mental breakdown after losing yet another patient while working an all-day shift. One month ago, Wyle ranked in fifth place to win Best Drama Actor among the Gold Derby odds, but buoyed by positive word-of-mouth for his performance on The Pitt, he's now in the No. 2 position to claim his first career statuette. He previously received five supporting Emmy bids for ER (1995-99). More from GoldDerby Cannes unveils Directors' Fortnight lineup, Jesse Eisenberg sets 'A Real Pain' follow-up, 'Four Seasons' trailer, and more of today's top stories Tony Talk: How will 'Boop! The Musical' and 'Smash' affect the Best Musical race? David Alan Grier, Allison Tolman, Wendi McLendon-Covery: Here is every 'St. Denis Medical' Emmy acting submission The only person standing in Wyle's way, according to the Gold Derby predictions, is Severance star Adam Scott. Lest we forget, Scott also received a goat-load of kudos following the finale of his show, particularly for the scene in which the "innie" and "outie" versions of his character, Mark Scout, negotiated with each other via camcorder. Mark's season-long mission to find save his wife, Gemma (Dichen Lachman), allowed Scott to reach new depths as an actor. As such, he's held the top spot in our rankings since early March. As of now, the other likely nominees for Best Drama Actor are Gary Oldman (Slow Horses), Pedro Pascal (The Last of Us), Sterling K. Brown (Paradise), and Eddie Redmayne (The Day of the Jackal). Oldman and Redmayne are both Best Actor Oscar winners, for Darkest Hour (2017) and The Theory of Everything (2014), respectively, while Brown is a triple Emmy champ for The People v. O.J. Simpson (2016), This Is Us (2017), and Lincoln: Divided We Stand (2021).

In the Pittsburgh-set series on the streaming platform Max, Wyle is playing perpetually-under-the-gun emergency room physician Michael (Robby) Robinavitch. Now comes word from Advertisement So what accounts for the enduring popularity of medical shows? Perhaps what draws viewers is the juxtaposition of the familiar with the dramatic.
