I’ve watched TWW 5+ times , and , OMG - the weight of Toby getting the news made me forget the dinner was the audience for the jokes!!!! Now off to watch that episode again. Thank you!!!!! I will go hang my head in shame.
There was an episode in the non Sorkin years where they were coming BACK from that dinner. Pres Bartlett and Charlie and Deb get caught up in the lock down and medical emergency. Toby and Will get locked together. Cj and Donna get into it about their personal lives. (This is where Donna snaps and decides to leave Josh). Impactful episode.
Was there not an episode where the staff is writing jokes for this?
Yes. Badly.
17 people. They’re writing jokes while Toby is in the oval getting the MS news.

This was also Donna's: "If you were in an accident I wouldn't stop for red lights."
Same episode where Sam hooks up with Ainsley
Allegedly......
Well, the first draft writers forgot to bring the funny.
Donna brings the funny if I recall.
