I heard from your people that you refused
to come until you were voted sexiest man.
You said, I will only be on this pod.
I need something legitimate to talk about.
Congratulations.
Thank you.
I think that one goes to my mother and my father, but yeah, thank you.
But I can almost remember chronologically
the ones that came out during my formative year.
Paging Dr. Robbie.
We need 100 cc's of sexy.
Stat.
The Pit's hunky doc, Noah Wiley,
was just named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive.
Day one of his reign, he stopped by Good Hang with Amy Poehler.
The 55-year-old actor told People Magazine
that it sounded like a prank at first, and
joked that his family will tease him about
the honor for the next 50 years.
I am going to take a lot of ribbing, he said, for sure.
And speaking of teasing, last month at the Emmys,
where he won his fourth trophy for
the role. Wiley teased what fans can expect
from season three of The Pit, which is due on HBO Max
in three months. John, Scott, and Noah,
I cannot think of a better way to celebrate this win than
by teasing us what you guys have been working on for season three.
Noah? I can tell you that we're
going to be back tomorrow morning hitting it hard
with a very dramatic storyline. Tomorrow we are
midway through our season, midway through episode 8 and 15.
The episodes are turning out great. I watched episodes 4 and 5 today.
The 5 that Sean directed
and the 4 that Boots directed, they're both wonderful.
I think you're going to be in for a really great season.
Yeah, we took everyone on a really amazing journey this year
and they all brought their A game by the end of the season.
Congratulations.
Noah, you've experienced
You've experienced major success
at two very different stages of your life.
Are you able to appreciate it and enjoy it more now
than you did during the height of ER?
Definitely, definitely.
That was such a wonderful sort of heady time
that I was on my back foot through most of it
and it was only after that experience had come and gone
that I really wished I had made more of it
and enjoyed it and taken more deep breaths
and I promised myself that if it ever happened again
if lightning was ever going to strike again
that I would really take time to smell roses
and this has been amazing for me.
You're a baby.
I hear you.
Come on.
He did the best he could.
Thank you.
Television Academy Foundation, congratulations everyone.
Noah, what qualities do you think matter for someone
who wants to have a long career in this industry?
That's a good question.
My wife and I were just talking about this the other day.
We try to teach our kids that it's not about winning or losing.
It's about being asked to play again.
Because if you can play in the game again,
you have more chances of winning over the long term.
So you can lose and never get asked to play again.
You can win and never get asked to play again.
But if you can figure out how to win or lose in a way that makes people
want to invite you back to the game, then that's a pretty good recipe.
