I really don't know what to say to this. West Wing is my favorite show and we all know how well she did last time she was on the small screen. Oh well I guess we'll see...

It says she'll play a media consultant. I can't wait to see her on the show, I think she'll be great.

Kristen Chenoworth has perfectly mastered the portrayal of one part in her career: Kristen Chenoworth.

(Please--no rotten tomatoes from the balcony! )

The West Wing hasn't quite been the same since...well, Season 2. I stopped watching a while ago. Maybe Chenoweth can inject some life into it.

And tons of actors (dare I say most actors?) have made their living playing nothing but variations on themselves. And plenty of those actors have been called great. Some people like Chenoweth's schtick and some don't- I'm in the former group. Updated On: 10/8/04 at 10:56 AM

Actually wasn't Kristin's last foray onto TV a fairly well-received guest spot on 'Frasier?'

yeah... but that's Frasier, a comedy, i don't think drama is Kristin's forte. We'll see....

I think they are bringing her in because of the lack of Ainsley Hayes-like characters. I think it could work!
I am interested to see it.... but it is true. The show has been going downhill.

I don't think anyone will really care that we posted at the same time...honest mistake.

Ohh she'll be playing a media consultant. It says it'll be a somewhat recurring role too. I know this is OT and all but being a West Wing junkie I must say...if they put her with Josh or something I may freak out!

They had so better NOT! put her with Josh!

Oh, this is hilarious. *grabs the popcorn*

If they put her with Josh, I'll quit watching the show! (okay, probably not, but he must be with Donna)

I think they are bringing her in because of the lack of Ainsley Hayes-like characters.

That was my first thought too.

TMC... don't even say that!
I still have a certain amount of bitterness towards Marie Louise Parker b/c of her character. (If its not Donna & Josh at the end of the show, I'm gonna get ugly!)

But hopefully I wouldnt be to angry towards Cheno since I liked her before

Did anyone replace Sam?

[mominator]

Posted: 10/8/04 at 11:06am

We'll just have to play the wait and see game.

[Thoroughly Modern Cara]

Posted: 10/8/04 at 11:10am

nah there was no real Sam-like character to replace him...which is a shame, I loved Rob Lowe in this character. They had Will, who actually doesn't even have Sam's job anymore because he works for the vice president but Will is no substitution for Sam.

Ohh man I'm sorry I even mentioned it. I love Mary Louise Parker in Angels but sometimes when I see her I get pissed just because of her role on WW. They just love making us suffer on that show. Oh well, I love sexual tension as much as the next girl but it's 6 years now! Updated On: 10/8/04 at 11:10 AM

Yeah she was a nasty critter.
But a happy note ... Lets plan Donna and Josh's wedding!
I see it in the Rose Garden with President Bartlett giving her away! Anyone else?

Taking a moment to remind people: TV shows aren't real.

Thank you John-

OMG! Donna and Josh are my OTP! They're DESTINED to be together, I tell you!. DESTINED!!1!!
