Tune in Sunday at 10 for the next episode: More: Johnny Gallagher talks to Broadway.com about working on The Newsroom and keeping up with his Spring Awakening costars.  Did you see "The Buzz" from the LA and NY premieres? Catch them on You Tube: LA ; NY . Johnny Gallagher might sing on The Newsroom ! Upon finding out that both Gallagher and Jeff Daniels are singer/songwriters, Aaron Sorkin said, "Oh, there's going to be an episode when you [John] and Jeff are jamming." Amazing! Aaron Sorkin a...
