35 free The Pitt TV Show trivia questions with answers — entertainment quiz, new questions added Sep 2026.
This The Pitt TV show trivia quiz covers the HBO Max medical drama hour by hour, from Robby's rooftop chat with Abbot at 7:00 A.M. to the ambulance pulling in at 9:00 P.M., plus the Fourth of July shift of season two. The easy questions cover the city, the star, the real-time format, the ER connection and the Pitt Fest shooting. Medium questions dig into the characters — Langdon's locker, Collins's miscarriage, Huckleberry, Dr. J, the triage colours and Abbot's prosthetic leg. The hard and expert questions are for people who watched every hour: the year the fictional ER was last remodelled, the per-episode budget, the closing song, the REBOA, the nursing-home ambulances at 7:30 a.m. and the Pittsburgh band that opened season two. Every answer was checked against a reference page and each question carries its citation, so the names, dates and plot points can be trusted. Difficulty is shown on every question, which makes it easy to build a round for a TV quiz night or play the whole set. When you finish, try our ER and other medical drama quizzes.
