An interviewer is being called out by The Pitt viewers after insensitive jokes about drug use on set, even though cast members have spoken about addiction struggles.<\/p>\n
After an incredibly popular season two of The Pitt<\/a>, the hospital drama has been renewed for a season three, premiering next January. The cast appeared on an Emmy For Your Consideration panel in the Academy Museum, moderated by podcaster and journalist Jon Levett.<\/p>\n Comments from the panel have been going viral for all the wrong reasons, including a side remark about coke usage on set directed at Patrick Bell, who has opened up about his previous struggles with addiction.<\/p>\n “You guys doing coke or whatever in the break room? He’s got those eyes; it’s fine. Meanwhile, you don’t get the same thing,” the interviewer said. “Is that not part of it? Any comment, Patrick?”<\/p>\n “Nope!” Patrick replied.<\/p>\n This was part of the panel. The moderator was being weird as hell, making everyone visibly uncomfortable.

Praising Gerran\u2019s accent, to which Noah praises Shabana as well, but the mod belittles her talent. pic.twitter.com\/5UQAhwr1Ys<\/a><\/p>\n — the pitt med student\u2695\ufe0f (@robbys_toupee) June 10, 2026<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
