“The Pitt” Emmy winner Noah Wyle has vowed to always sign autographs for kids after he had a memorable run-in with Eddie Murphy when he was 9 years old.

Wyle, who was just voted People’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2026, told Amy Poehler on her “Good Hang” podcast about asking Murphy for an autograph years ago.

“I met Eddie once when I was a kid. I asked him for his autograph, and I said, ‘I really like you on ‘SNL.’ And he goes, ‘What are you doing up that late?’ And I said, ‘Can I have your autograph?’ He goes, ‘F— off, man,'” Wyle recalled. “I always sign an autograph. Whenever a 9-year-old needs an autograph from me, I sign that so fast.”
