‘Good Night, and Good Luck’: How to Watch the George Clooney Broadway Play

The actor made Broadway history by presenting his Broadway debut on television, the first play to be televised live.

Though hit productions like Hamilton got streaming releases, no live Broadway play had ever been shown on TV. CNN Chairman and CEO Mark Thompson described the play as “not just a celebration of a golden age in TV journalism, [but] it’s also about the importance of the free press and the need for strong news organizations to report the facts in a fair-minded way. While George plays journalist Edward R. Murrow, the rest of the main cast of Good Night, and Good Luck features Mac Brandt as Colonel Anderson, Will Dagger as Don Hewitt, Christopher Denham as John Aaro, Glenn Fleshler as Fred Friendly, Ilana Glazer as Shirley Wershba, Clark Gregg as Don Hollenbeck and Paul Gross as William S. Paley.
