This fall marks the 25th anniversary of “The West Wing,” consistently ranked among the best TV shows of all time. During its seven-season run on NBC from 1999 to 2006, the show attracted tens of millions of viewers and won two Peabody Awards, three Golden Globes, and 26 Emmys.
Step behind the scenes and into the heart of “The West Wing,” where President Jed Bartlet's world was brought to life by an ensemble of actors like no other. Join cast members Melissa Fitzgerald and Mary McCormack for a conversation, moderated by political commentator and strategist Kevin Walling, as they explore the essence of what made the show a cultural phenomenon.
From heartwarming origin stories to the bittersweet farewell on the show’s final night of filming, the inside look promises on-set and off-camera anecdotes that even the most devoted “West Wing” aficionados have never heard. Fitzgerald and McCormack also examine how the series envisaged an administration based on decency, honor, and service, creating an aspirational White House beyond the bounds of fictional television.
Their book, What’s Next: A Backstage Pass to The West Wing, Its Cast and Crew, and Its Enduring Legacy of Service (Dutton), is available for purchase.
