The Pitt’sNoah Wyle tugged on fans’ heart strings this week when a photograph of his Secret Santa list from set went viral on social media.
Viewers were touched by his “precious” responses on a physical questionnaire that must have been customized for each cast member, as it featured a photo of the actor with a cartoon Santa hat on his head with a printed speech bubble reading, “Welcome to The Pitt. Let’s go give some gifts.”
Wyle drew another bubble directly from his lips, reading, “You got me!!! UH OH.” However, he ended up being a very sweet recipient, leaving a note at the bottom of all of his favorite things that encouraged his Secret Santa to “be frugal” and spend only $5 of the allotted $20 on him—and use the leftovers on themselves.
The pic appears to have been posted by Jamie Watkins, a nurse and medical advisor who appeared on two episode of The Pitt, originally, who we presume to have drawn the ER alum’s name during filming.
“don’t know if this has been posted here already but noah’s secret santa questionnaire??? it’s so cute i’m dying,” one fan wrote when they shared his list from Reddit to X.

The Reddit user that originally posted it on that platform called it an “appreciation post” for the actor—”because he deserves it” for his “down-to-earth” energy. They asserted that the kind gesture was “Precious,” and seemingly everyone agreed.
“How does every single thing I see about him make me like him more?” one fan wondered.
“the ‘spend $5 and the other $15 on yourself’ he’s actually the cutest ever omg,” another wrote.
“the last one,” another called out, including a photo of Ellen Pompeo crying in character as Meredith Grey, as another said that he “seems so sweet” after reading through his suggestions.
“‘be frugal’ he’s such a dad lol,” another declared, as someone else agreed, “This has such incredible dad energy. TCM, dumb jokes, cheap stores, spend money on yourself. Love him!”
“I hope someone got him a dad joke book and a Costco size bag of Werther’s,” another crossed their fingers, with others also hoping to hear what he ended up receiving.
