Noah Wyle Declares Himself Better TV Doctor Than ER’s George Clooney
Actor Noah Wyle playfully claimed superiority over his former ER costar George Clooney during an exclusive interview at the Golden Globes 2026, settling a decades-old debate about who made the better television physician.
Speaking with Zuri Hall during Live From E!: Golden Globes 2026 on Sunday, Wyle confidently asserted: “I’m the better doctor.” The declaration came as both actors received recognition at the ceremony, with The Pitt earning a Golden Globes nomination and Clooney also in attendance at the star-studded event hosted by Nikki Glaser.
The Pitt’s Momentum Continues
Beyond the friendly jab at his former colleague, Wyle shared exciting news about The Pitt, announcing the medical drama has been picked up for a third season following this year’s premiere. “We’re all going to get to play together again,” Wyle said, expressing his enthusiasm for the show’s continued success.
The Pitt star also revealed he could still recall his own lengthy monologues from his original ER days playing Dr. Carter, challenging Clooney to see if he could remember one of Dr. Ross’s 1990s-era speeches. The playful exchange highlighted the enduring camaraderie between the two actors decades after their iconic television run together.
Golden Globes Recognition
The recognition at the Golden Globes capped a strong run for The Pitt, which also received hardware at the Critics’ Choice Awards this season. The medical drama has resonated with audiences and critics alike, establishing itself as a standout addition to the television landscape.
