Oswalt, 57, expressed his admiration for the Noah Wyle medical drama, The Pitt, stating, “Season 1 of The Pitt [was the last thing I binged].”

He elaborated on his favorite episode, saying, “The whole show was amazing but episode 12? The mass shooting? That was a master class — acting, writing, directing, all of it. Had to watch that episode twice.”
