Like practically everyone else, Patton Oswalt<\/strong> is a fan of the Noah Wyle<\/strong> medical drama, The Pitt<\/em>.<\/p>\n

\u201cSeason 1 of The Pitt<\/em> [was the last thing I binged],\u201d Oswalt, 57, revealed exclusively in his 25 Things You Don\u2019t Know About Me feature in the newest issue of Us Weekly<\/em>, on newsstands now.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe entire show was amazing but episode 12? The mass shooting? That was a master class \u2014 acting, writing, directing, all of it,\u201d he continued. \u201cHad to look at that episode twice.\u201d<\/p>\n

The comedian also told Us<\/em> about his favorite books, childhood idols and whether he reads his own reviews (Duh).<\/p>\n

Keep scrolling for more fun stories from Oswalt, whose recent comedy special, Tea & Scotch<\/em>, premieres June 9 on YouTube:<\/p>\n

1. I\u2019m not a very good cook, but I scramble eggs beautifully.<\/p>\n

2. When my daughter was a wee one, we\u2019d go to the Butterfly Garden on the Museum of Natural History. Now she\u2019s an adolescent, and we go to movies.<\/p>\n

3. I might love one other season of Completely satisfied!<\/em> There\u2019s so far more amazing story to inform there.<\/p>\n

4. My most vivid childhood memory is seeing falling snow out of the window and considering the apartment constructing we were living in was rising into the air.<\/p>\n

5. Season 1 of The Pitt<\/em> [was the last show I binged]. The entire show was amazing but episode 12? The mass shooting? That was a master class \u2014 acting, writing, directing, all of it. Had to look at that episode twice.<\/p>\n

6. I absolutely read my very own reviews. An unhealthy dose of self-regard is the bottom fuel for all entertainers.<\/p>\n

7. My favorite method to spend a Saturday is sleep until I get up after which sit on my front porch drinking tea and reading.<\/p>\n

8. I\u2019m an evening owl who really desires to be a morning person. [It\u2019s] a relentless struggle.<\/p>\n

9. Growing up, I idolized Charles Schulz, Vincent Price<\/strong> and The Six Million Dollar Man<\/em>.<\/p>\n

10. My first automotive was a 1985 Nissan Sentra. Death-box with a tape player.<\/p>\n

11. Alice\u2019s Kids is a charity doing great work. They\u2019re this amazing group who provide funds for at-risk kids, anonymously, because they\u2019re so aware of all of the poverty shaming that goes on on this country.<\/p>\n

12. \u201cKnock Three Times\u201d by Tony Orlando and Dawn<\/strong> is my go-to karaoke song. I really like banging the mic stand on the bottom in the course of the \u201cknock knock knock\u201d part. A terrific drunk belter.<\/p>\n

13. Every Anxious Wave<\/em> by Mo Daviau<\/strong> is my favorite book. Required reading when you\u2019re Gen X.<\/p>\n

14. Probably the most starstruck I\u2019ve ever been is meeting Martin Scorsese<\/strong> and trading legends about Timothy Carey.<\/strong><\/p>\n

15. My celebrity crush growing up was either Joy Harmon from Village of the Giants<\/strong> or Josie from Josie and the Pussycats<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

16. There\u2019s no alternate occupation for me. Don\u2019t even need to imagine it.<\/p>\n

17. My favorite Parks and Rec<\/em> memory is just the indisputable fact that I got to be on the show. Oh, and the butter churning contest with Amy Poehler.<\/strong><\/p>\n

18. Mazzy Star\u2019<\/strong>s \u201cBlue Light\u201d brings back the perfect memories of being in my 20s within the \u201990s. A more hopeful, less desperate time for everybody. At the least that\u2019s what it felt like.<\/p>\n

19. Three Jack within the Box tacos and an iced tea is my go-to fast-food order.<\/p>\n

20. The proudest moment of my profession was the primary 12 months I used to be in a position to pay all of my bills by just doing stand-up. It\u2019s all been gravy since then.<\/p>\n

21. Reading is how I decompress after a busy day.<\/p>\n

22. A live-action adaptation of Charles Burns<\/strong>\u2019 El Borbah<\/em> with Guillermo del Toro<\/strong> is my dream project.<\/p>\n
