Ok, I was searching the web for West Wing news and I came across this, printed in The New York Times 5 hours ago. Here are some extracts:
The Partnership for Public Service had a dinner to honor PAUL VOLCKER, the former Federal Reserve chairman, and AARON SORKIN and the cast and producers of "The West Wing."
Mr. Sorkin, as so often happens with our little outings, was a no-show at last week's dinner at Cipriani 42nd Street, but we were able to chat with JOHN SPENCER, who plays Leo McGarry, the White House chief of staff. He wore a gold bow tie and vest and was accompanied by an old high school flame who introduced herself as TOOTS MARIANO.
"We're on vacation, blessedly," he said, when asked about the show.
So what will happen with the show now, with a new writer?
"Well, I believe Aaron and Tommy may come back — I hear a rumor — for the first two or three," Mr. Spencer said, referring to TOMMY SCHLAMME, an executive producer, who is also leaving the show. "Which would be great, because it would help in the transition."
So Mr. Sorkin and Mr. Schlamme may really be coming back?
"I hear possibly he may write the first two. I know nothing."
... They also talked a bit about whether the real presidents watched the show, but I though that you should all know what John Spencer is hinting at.
