From NBC:
Preparations for the Inauguration (and the parties that follow) continue as the White House scuttles the President's speech and moves closer and closer historic military action.
From Warner Bros.:
Preparations for the Presidential inauguration, and the parties that follow, continue as the White House cancels Bartlet's speech and moves closer to a historic military action.
Denver native Jill Sobule ... sings two songs on The West Wing at 9 tonight on Channel 9. She will perform Rock Me To Sleep and Heroes on the hit TV show.
West Wing writer Aaron Sorkin caught Sobule's act at an ACLU event in December "and really dug her," according to my spy. His fanship flamed and he wrote the local vocal into a script.
Earl Hargrove can notch another inauguration in his belt.
The Harwood man's company, Hargrove Inc. of Lanham, helped the fictitious President Bartlet of NBCs "The West Wing" television series celebrate his inauguration in the episode that ran on Wednesday.
The company turned the Mellon Auditorium on Constitution Avenue in Washington into an elaborate site for an inaugural ball honoring Bartlet, played by Martin Sheen. It was the second time the company has worked with the show's producers on staging an episode.
The company's work was based on experience. It has provided parade floats, ball decor or other services for every presidential inaugural since 1949. Part of the stage set used in the inaugural sequences was actually constructed and used for inaugural balls honoring President Bush in 2001.
"We were offered the opportunity to participate in "The West Wing' again because of our props and resources," said CEO Tim McGill. "It fits right in because this is the kind of thing we do every day."
On another recent day on "The West Wing" set, all of the senior staff cast members are working on a complicated scene in the Oval Office. In between takes, Malina plays Excalibur Touch Chess, an electronic hand-held game that appears to be winning.
The scene takes from early morning to mid-afternoon to shoot, and it involves President Bartlet (Martin Sheen) giving an emotional, complex explanation about a major policy change, brought out in part by Will's insistent moral arguments.
Though Sheen does almost all of the talking, it's a carefully choreographed moment, and at the end, Will and the president share a look of understanding. Or at least they're supposed to. Malina keeps getting hustled out the door by the momentum of the scene.
After they'd run through it in rehearsal and then for the cameras, they broke to reset the lights and start again. As everyone starts to drift away, Sheen calls out, "Hey, Malina, here's looking at you."
