George Clooney and Noah Wyle Reunite Over 'The Pitt'
George ClooneyThe enduring bond between former ER stars George Clooney and Noah Wyle has found new life with Wyle's latest medical drama, The Pitt. The HBO Max hit has not only captivated audiences but also received a glowing endorsement from Clooney, who expressed his pride and admiration for Wyle's work during a recent appearance on Late Night With Seth Meyers.
Clooney, now 64, reminisced about their years on ER, where their friendship was forged amidst the fast-paced environment of a fictional Chicago hospital. "Have you guys seen that show? It's so good", Clooney exclaimed to an enthusiastic audience, adding, "He is just the most honorable, talented young man, and I cannot be happier for his success on the show".
The Pitt, which explores the complex lives of healthcare workers in a modern-day Pittsburgh hospital, has struck a chord with viewers, earning critical acclaim and a second season renewal. As executive producer and star, Wyle has taken his experience from ER into what he describes as a "more photorealistic" portrayal of medical drama.
Despite their separation in career paths post-ER, the camaraderie between Clooney and Wyle remains unshaken. Wyle, 54, recently shared how Clooney's appreciation for The Pitt was reciprocated with Wyle's admiration for Clooney's Broadway play, Good Night, and Good Luck, which reunited them with fellow ER cast members.
Reflecting on their time on ER, Clooney jestingly admitted to his struggle with medical jargon, humorously pointing out Wyle's effortless command of complex medical terminology: "He never had trouble, he always could do it", Clooney joked. "I hated him for that".
Their playful banter and mutual support highlight the ongoing impact of their shared history on ER, a show that not only garnered significant accolades but also fostered lasting friendships. As Wyle continues to thrive with The Pitt, it seems clear that his journey in the television world remains closely watched and celebrated by friends like Clooney, who continue to cheer him on from the sidelines.
