Jennifer is a TV News Editor at ScreenRant. She started her journey in entertainment media in 2022 when she first joined Valnet at CBR before coming to ScreenRant.

Jennifer loves TV, especially science fiction. She also loves late-night talk shows, due to her insomnia. Alien: Earth is definitely one of her favorite shows, and she jumps on any chance she gets to write about it. Even on her days off, she will claim an Alien Earth article if one is available.

Jimmy Kimmel and Jimmy Fallon are two of her favorite late-night hosts, and Conan O'Brien before he left his show.

Her Alien: Earth coverage for Screen Rant is by far the work that she is most proud of so far.

She began her career as an editor in 2014. She was initially a finance editor, but her passion for pop culture convinced her to transition into entertainment journalism.

During her off time, she loves to binge-watch cooking shows such as Kitchen Nightmares. Jennifer also loves spending time with her daughter and cherishes every moment of it.

The Pitt star, Noah Wyle, recently looked back on his 30-year friendship with George Clooney and revealed how their bond has endured and how he shaped his life.

In an interview with People at the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, Wyle recalled his first encounter with Clooney more than three decades ago on the set of the medical drama, ER. The series helped launch both actors' careers. What began as a strictly professional relationship eventually grew into a long-lasting friendship that has passed the test of time.

According to Wyle, like all relationships, the nature of their friendship has evolved over time. Due to their demanding schedules, making time to see each other can be very difficult. However, whenever they do catch up, they always pick us right where they left off, as if no time has passed at all.

The Pitt actor explained that Clooney has played a significant role in his life over the years. He described him as a steady and influential figure, someone whose guidance has proven to be invaluable. He added that he has also been a source of support throughout his career in the entertainment industry, often "popping up" at crucial moments.

It's catching up when we can, but always from the point where we last left each other. Those bonds that were forged during that show are so lovely and intimate that I feel like we don't have to be totally present in each other's lives to be able to have a context for each other's lives.

He's been a real touchstone figure in my life and one who seems to pop up with great regularity at the right moments.

At the AARP Movies for Grownups Awards, Wyle had the honor of presenting Clooney with the award for Best Actor in the film category for his performance in Jay Kelly. The moment was made even more special when Clooney later presented Wyle with the Best Actor award for TV for his role as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch in The Pitt.

Wyle added that their reunions are often unplanned and spontaneous. Over the years, the two have managed to meet whenever they have had the time, often through last-minute phone calls. These impromptu meetings usually begin as just dinner plans, but the two of them usually end up talking all night.

It was either here in L.A. at the Chateau Marmont one night when he was in between jobs, or it was in Vancouver when I was working on something and he was in New Vancouver. It's one of those...‘Are you in New York right now?’ kind of spur-of-the-moment, spontaneous evenings that you think are going to last a couple of hours and end up taking half the night.

The Pitt airs new episodes on Thursdays at 9:00 PM ET and 6:00 PM PT on HBO Max.
