"George Clooney’s play Good Night, and Good Luck is set to air live on CNN this Saturday, in a move meant to spread the play’s timely message and raise the profile of Broadway.

The idea for the live broadcast originated with Clooney, who is starring in the production as legendary journalist Edward R. Murrow, and co-wrote the play. The play follows Murrow as he pursues reporting exposing the tactics of Sen. Joseph McCarthy, and stands up to pushback from McCarthy as well as CBS station heads.

“One of the reasons that George came to Broadway with this show is because the story is deeply, deeply meaningful to him,” said Sue Wagner, one of the lead producers. “It was really important to him to stand on stage every night and say to people, ‘This isn’t about power unchecked. It’s about ‘What are you prepared to do? How are you prepared to save us?’”

1. +1. Noticed CNN is also doing a show about making of play just before it airs.

Not sure when I’ll watch, but taping both. I think the play will air only one time.

4. So Clooney gets his 30 pieces of silver

for helping CNN torpedo Biden last year. All good democrats should be boycotting CNN, especially this ego fest by Clooney.
