“There was an extended take of me being wheeled in by way of your entire ER as Noah Wyle and [Sherry Stringfield] have dialog above me. It’s this lengthy take, proper? And we went by way of the entire thing. They received their traces good. Every part was nice. Besides I had taken my respiratory factor out of my nostril and had forgotten to place it again in.”
The episode in query is “Full Moon, Saturday Night time”, which aired throughout ER’s first season in 1995. It’s a wild hour of TV that concerned werewolf delusions, frostbitten frat bros, and basic chaos.
