when Brian Williams was still on MSNBC during an election. There was a whole lot of chatter, laughter, and crosstalk and Williams rarely a got a word in. I don't think he was comfortable with so much informality, though of course, being a true professional, he didn't show it.

I have a set of the cds.

*From 1999 to 2006, O'Donnell was associated with the television drama The West Wing. During that time, he wrote 16 episodes. From 1999 to 2000, he was executive story editor for 12 episodes; in 2000, he was co-producer of five episodes; from 2000 to 2001, he was producer of 17 episodes; from 2003 to 2005, he was consulting producer for 44 episodes; and, from 2005 to 2006, he was executive producer for 22 episodes.[11] O'Donnell won the 2001 Emmy award for Outstanding Drama Series for The West Wing and was nominated for the 2006 Emmy for the same category.[12]'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lawrence_O%27Donnell

and he played President Bartlet's father (in one episode.) *In addition to being a producer on The West Wing, O'Donnell also played President Josiah Bartlet's father in a flashback sequence of the episode "Two Cathedrals".[17]


HUGE talent.

over Thanjsgiving. We didn't realize it was going to stop at end of season 4. So guess we have to Subscribe to hbo max to get seasons 5 thru 7.
They should do a marathon over Christmas holidays.
When season4 ended Zoe Bartlett was still missing and the Pres. had invoked a temporary 25th amendment.

Then we tuned in to Georgia election for a bit of relaxation.

but all the laughing and chatter gets a bit annoying. I've seen it so many times during election coverage on MSNBC.

and things are looking good tonight for Warnock-- he's improved almost everywhere, while Walker has fallen...

(in spite of the momentary panics by some, when the totals have gone momentarily to Walker--
I suppose maybe they are not watching MSNBC??)
