The White House Meets the Sunset Strip

Lots of West Wing news today here at Give Me My Remote. We just got word that Bradley Whitford, who plays Josh Lyman on The West Wing, will play a producer and recovering coke addict on Aaron Sorkin’s new show, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. As we mentioned before, the show is a behind the scenes look at a fictional late night sketch comedy show. Whitford will join Matthew Perry, Amanda Peet, and another West Winger, Timothy Busfield.

Early word is that the pilot script is brilliant. That early word is coming from Bill Simmons, and I pretty much pray at the alter of The Sports Guy, so I’m going to give this one a shot.
