20 Years Later, Noah Wyle Can Still Recite His First "E.R." Monologue From Memory

This is the best party trick ever. And it’s not like it’s three-lines from a script. It’s like two paragraphs of medical jargon, much of which sounds completely made up. I expected a cute video, but honestly, this is just goddamn impressive. I can’t remember all the lyrics to “Wanted Dead or Alive” from 20 years ago, and Wylie remembers this.

I bet Wyle is terrible at pub trivia. How can you remember old pop-culture miscellania when you’ve got that monologue occupying so much space in your brain?
