From TVGuide.com:
Matthew Perry shows a serious side as he begins a two-episode stint as a White House job seeker. The Friends costar plays Joe Quincy, a lawyer applying for Ainsley Hayes' old job in the counsel's office. Joe couldn't have picked a more eventful day for his interview: A shooting in the press briefing room has led to a "lockdown," but he's already in the building, so his interview with Josh (Bradley Whitford) proceeds as scheduled. And it goes well enough, but Josh can't help thinking that something's not quite right about this guy. Meanwhile, poker night goes on despite the lockdown, but the president (Martin Sheen) keeps getting interrupted: A spy plane has been shot down over Russia.
From NBC:
After a gunman fires three shots at the White House, the staff remains under lockdown as the President (Martin Sheen) negotiates the return of a downed spy plane while Josh (Bradley Whitford) interviews a candidate (Matthew Perry) for associate counsel -- and a spirited card game allows everyone to let off steam.
From Warner Bros.:
After a gunman fires three shots at the White House, the staff remains on lockdown. Meanwhile, Bartlet negotiates the return of a downed spy plane. Josh interviews a candidate, Joe Quincy (Matthew Perry), for associate counsel. And a spirited card game allows everyone to relieve their tension.
Under an end table is a mysterious red phone. "In the actual Oval Office... there are several red phones that say 'Crash' on the handle," says [Ellen] Totleben. [Set Decorator] " We asked the Secret Service what that meant, and they said, ' Oh, we can't tell you that.' We know they exist, and even though we don't know what they're for, they still looked pretty cool." But [Bradley] Whitford claims to know: "It's for when there's a major problem at the gate."
San Diego, CA: Why do you think Friends' Matthew Perry is doing a guest spot on The West Wing? Would Aaron Sorkin have come up with that, or is it likely an NBC idea to boost the show?
Robert Bianco: According to his spokesperson, it was Perry's idea - he's a big fan of the show. I think it could be good for all concerned.
Matthew Perry will never forget where he was when war in Iraq broke out. "I was sitting in a replica of the Oval Office," marvels the Friends cut-up, who was taping his two-episode West Wing stint (airing April 23 and 30) at the time. "It was very surreal. Things got very quiet and tense, and it [became] difficult to work."
