Amy Poehler sat down with Noah Wyle on Tuesdayโs episode of her โGood Hangโ podcast to discuss both โERโ and โThe Pittโ on the heels of his Peopleโs Sexiest Man Alive appointment. She also used her time with the actor to provide some feedback on the lack of romance in the latter of the hit medical shows.
โYouโre not asking me for feedback on โThe Pitt,โ but Iโm going to give you a little bit of feedback,โ Poehler began. โIf youโre going to show so much guts and blood, if youโre gonna go there โ and your makeup team is incredible. The stuff you do is bananas. I donโt watch most of it. I cover my eyes, but I mean, I canโt take it โ But if youโre going to show that much, every time you got to get a little smooch. Someoneโs gotta do a little smooch.โ
Wyle, unconvinced, responded: โOh, you think itโs one for one?โ โOne for one, just a tiny smooch,โ continued Poehler. โJust one middle of the day [smooch]!โ Wyle remained unmoved, though he did say that he would โmaybeโ discuss a โone-to-four ratio, but certainly not one to one.โ Poehler concluded, โYou gonna show the guts, you gotta show some butts.โ (Wyle pointed out that they do show butts on โThe Pitt,โ just not in romantic contexts.)
Wyle has played the disgruntled attending physician Dr. Michael โRobbyโ Robinavitch for two seasons of HBOโs drama โThe Pitt.โ His portrayal of the doctor won him the Golden Globe for best performance by a male actor in a television series, drama in 2026, and back-to-back Emmy awards for best actor in a drama series in both 2025 and 2026.
Season 3 of the hit medical drama is set to premiere in Jan. 2027 and will follow Dr. Robbyโs first day back on the job after a three-month sabbatical at the end of Season 2.
