Question: I know that Aaron sometimes gets backed up between the shows? What's the longest time you had to wait for a script?The same day. We actually had one episode where we never got a complete script until after the taping was over. The actual show came out pretty good though. It was the episode where Rob's character had to write a birthday greeting from the President to the assistant agricultural secretary. For me, the episode was fun. It was different. - Dulé Hill

"[Creator] Aaron Sorkin [modeled their relationship on] the dynamic that Jack Kennedy had with Lyndon Johnson," Matheson tells TV Guide Online. "Johnson had a bit of an outsized ego and Kennedy had his group of intellectuals, and they were just different. Johnson didn't feel he was being utilized enough; I think Hoynes feels the same way. He was the majority leader of the Senate and like all senators, he feels he could be president and should be!" - Tim Matheson
