Viewers tuning in to see George Clooney star in Good Night, and Good Luck live on CNN were surprised to recognize another actor in the production.
CNN aired the production live from the Winter Garden Theatre in New York City. The telecast marked the first time in history a Broadway show was broadcast live on national television. More than 20 cameras were positioned throughout the theater to bring the play to audiences at home, CNN correspondent Anderson Cooper said during pre-show coverage.
