George Clooney’s Broadway Debut Airs Live on CNN in Historic Broadcast
Hey everyone, I’ve got something truly exciting to talk about today — and if you’re a fan of powerful performances, historical drama, or just George Clooney himself, this one’s for you. Mark your calendars because something unprecedented is happening on Saturday, June 7 at 7pm ET. CNN is doing a first-of-its-kind live broadcast of the Broadway play Good Night, and Good Luck , starring none other than George Clooney in his Broadway debut.
Yes, you heard that right. For the first time in Broadway history, a stage play will be broadcast live on television and streamed globally. CNN and CNN International will carry the event, and if you don’t have cable, no worries — you can stream it live on CNN.com or through CNN apps on your smart TV or mobile device. Plus, if you’re subscribed to Max, it’ll be available there too, no matter your plan. The coverage starts a little early at 6:30pm ET with Pamela Brown reporting live from outside the Winter Garden Theatre in New York, and then Anderson Cooper will take over with post-show commentary.

This production is a huge deal. Good Night, and Good Luck is based on the true story of legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow’s televised battle against Senator Joseph McCarthy during the Red Scare. Clooney plays Murrow, stepping into the spotlight with a role that’s already earning him a Tony nomination for Best Actor. This gripping political drama explores themes of truth, integrity, and journalistic courage — and it could not be more relevant in today’s media landscape.
The play has been smashing box office records, grossing over $4 million in a single week — the highest ever for a Broadway play. It’s co-written by Clooney and his longtime collaborator Grant Heslov, and directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer. The cast is packed with talent including Ilana Glazer, Clark Gregg, and Fran Kranz, to name just a few. The production’s set design, lighting, sound, and costumes have all received critical acclaim — and several Tony nods as well.
Clooney recently teased in an interview with Seth Meyers that after Broadway, the play might go on tour and could even end up in London. No confirmation yet on whether Clooney himself will travel with it, but one thing he joked about was saying goodbye to the black hair dye he’s using for the role — apparently, he’s more than ready to ditch it after the final performance.
So if you’re into history, journalism, politics, or just want to see Clooney deliver a career-defining performance live from Broadway, don’t miss this. Saturday night, June 7, 7pm ET — it’s going to be one for the history books.
