'The West Wing' cast will reunite to benefit Michelle Obama's When We All Vote

Add "The West Wing" to the list of TV reunions in the age of coronavirus, but this time, they're coming together for a specific cause: To benefit Michelle Obama's voter-participation organization When We All Vote by staging an episode for the streaming service HBO Max.

According to HBO Max, the event -- which will be shot in a Los Angeles theater over several days in October -- will be directed by Thomas Schlamme, who masterminded the White House drama's walk-and-talk style. The program is expected to air on an as-yet-unspecified date prior to the election in November.

"The West Wing" aired on NBC but was produced by Warner Bros. Television, which, like CNN, is a unit of WarnerMedia, which will make a donation to When We All Vote in conjunction with the effort. When We All Vote is a nonprofit organization, created to inspire increased voter participation in every election.

Originally broadcast in 2002, the episode focuses on a tense moment in US-Chinese relations over Taiwan, while Whitford's character, Josh, worries about a small town in New Hampshire whose voting results are believed to predict who will win the state's primary.

Lame

Thank goodness. With elections on the horizon I depend entirely on lectures from actors, assorted ne'er-do-wells and other so-called celebrities to set me straight. Otherwise the job falls to Mrs. Dyer, and she's busy. c.c. MichelleObama and SorkItUp

CANADIAN JOURNALISM IS OFFICIALLY DEAD. RAID DEAD. PROPAGANDA KILLS JOURNALISM. DEAD.

Get back to us when she does something about the 3rd world murder rates in her home town of Chicago. More were murdered during Obama's Time as a community leader, senator and two terms of POTUS than the entire US military lost in all those wars. 65 shot last weekend itself.
