Patton Oswalt Dishes on 'The Pitt,' 'Ratatouille' Love and More Fun Facts

Like practically everyone else, Patton Oswalt is a fan of the Noah Wyle medical drama, The Pitt.

"Season 1 of The Pitt [was the last thing I binged]," Oswalt, 57, revealed exclusively in his 25 Things You Don't Know About Me feature in the latest issue of Us Weekly, on newsstands now.

"The whole show was amazing but episode 12? The mass shooting? That was a master class - acting, writing, directing, all of it," he continued. "Had to watch that episode twice."

The comedian also told Us about his favorite books, childhood idols and whether he reads his own reviews (Duh).
