"We'll be on Air Force One [[in this episode]] and to a certain extent I like showing the behind-the-scenes, cool stuff," - Aaron Sorkin
"'West Wing' wins votes of viewers"

Sorkin says he still "feels uncomfortable" about an episode last season in which Bartlett and his staff fly to Hollywood for a fund-raiser. Tonight host Jay Leno, among other celebs, appeared in a party scene around a swimming pool."Where there is a Jay Leno, Bill Clinton is President of the United States, and we immediately know that," Sorkin says. "Moreover, for Leno to do a scene with [press secretary] C. J. Cregg [Allison Janney] a week after Allison was on Tonight is a strange line that's a little difficult to pinpoint, but you want to be able to."
"It started to feel like a Larry Sanders Show, trying to get mileage out of tossing around a contemporary name."
"Bush in a cameo role? No thanks, 'West Wing' producers say"
