George Clooney returns to television with a live adaptation of 'Good Night, and Good Luck,' based on his 2005 film. This production, broadcast from Broadway, signifies a historic moment as it is the first time a play has been televised live from the theater. Clooney's initial return to television was in 2000 with a live remake of 'Fail Safe.' The new stage adaptation has already achieved financial success and critical acclaim, earning over $4 million in a week and competing for five Tony Awards, including Best Actor for Clooney himself.
"I can't tell you how exciting it is to do something that's never been done," Clooney said in a press event discussing the live broadcast.
"Then I said, 'Let's do it live,' and Les said 'OK,' and then I said, 'And let's do it in black-and-white,' and he said, 'Then you have to be in it.'"
On stage, it became the first play to earn more than $4 million in a single week, and CNN claims it's the 'highest-grossing play in Broadway history.'
