Sorkin was such a killer writer, and the guys who came on to keep it going after he left were not too shabby either. One of my favorite things about the show while it was on, was that the actors, writers, and producers had a healthy sense of humor about some of the quirks of its characters. Jed Bartlett\u2019s folksy wisdom and speeches about history, the walk and talk meetings in the hallways, finishing each other\u2019s sentences, and so on. It was predictable and nerdy\u2026 but cool.\n<p>Anyway, the president, CJ Craig, Will Baily, Charlie, and one half of the Ed &amp; Larry combo (still can\u2019t tell them apart), got together to make fun of themselves &amp; raise awareness for heart health.
