The Butterball hotline, the Paul Revere knife, The funeral for the homeless soldier, CJ's woot canal, Lemon Lyman, Josh shooting, This is the finest TV Ive ever had the privilege to watch

Who could forget Martin Sheen's speech to God in the National Cathedral after Mrs. Landingham's funeral? ("Two Cathedrals") Absolutely riveting. That scene alone should have won him an Emmy.

I love the way Martin is just allowed to tell the stories. So often hosts push their personalities into an inverview which then diminishes the value. Well done Brad!

Thank you everyone involved in the WW for once and for all PROVING there is a market for intelligent television. I am not alone in thinking this was the best television show ever made.

The scene with CJ about pardoning the second turkey was absolutely hysterical. "CJ, I really have no jurisdiction over birds."

The West Wing repeats aired at like 9am on Bravo. My husband and I would have our morning coffee while we watched 2 episodes a day. It was the best time my Honey and I shared. He was a huge Democrat who had met JFK when he was running for office in 1959, and he knew all these terrific tales of politics spanning Decades. My husband is gone, but I still have The West Wing to remember him by.

As a person living with multiple sclerosis, I found Martin Sheen's portrayal and more importantly Aaron Sorkin's writing with regards to multiple sclerosis to be very inspirational. After all, if Jed Bartlet can be the leader of the free world, while battling multiple sclerosis, I can certainly get through my own days with multiple sclerosis. Often times I go back and watch the episodes that specifically dealt with President Bartlett's battle with multiple sclerosis. I felt the trip to China was more realistically portrayed than much of what I had seen with regards to someone battling a chronic progressive disease, and what an exhausting day like that would look like, the toll working that long a day takes on one's body can be brutal! I also thoroughly related to his frustration when he tries to stand at the sink and do something as simple as brushing his teeth but he ends up falling. I have been there many times. This program was very empowering to me, and still is.

Great interview. Martin Sheen is an American treasure. You know you've watched the show all the way through too many times when you know what details Martin remembers incorrectly.

You were great - you asked a simple question or two and just let Martin talk and you got the best. No interruptions and we , the viewers got the gold. Congrats.

For the love of God thank you mr. interviewer for just letting your guest riff and have sincere stream of consciousness. This was great.

Watched every episode so many times - except one. Have only watched Leo’s funeral once because it breaks my heart. Sleep well John you are missed xxx

I could listen to Martin Sheen all day long. What a great actor and human being.

when I am troubled I rewatch the West Wing. It comforts me and I love the back and forth between the characters. What a classy series.

THE👏🏻GREATEST👏🏻SHOW👏🏻OF👏🏻ALL👏🏻TIME!!!! I've watched it countless times and it never gets old. And the great John Spencer, what a phenomenal actor he was 💔❤️

My daughter Angelina was only 10 years old when she fell in love with The West Wing. Despite being a Filipina, she spoke and understood English perfectly. I bought the series on DVD. How could such a young person understand and appreciate such "complicated" English? It was beyond me. She has watched the series three times altogether. Now she is 21.

Martin Sheen’s comedic timing was perfection and his dramatic acting was incredibly powerful in the West Wing. He is a treasure! ❤❤❤❤

"Principles before personalities." The West Wing offered that in every episode. Thank you Martin Sheen for this lovely remembering that you shared with us all.

Aaron Sorkin is amazing. I am a republican and The West Wing is one of my favorite shows. Just amazing.

The Butterball Hotline bit is as close to perfection as TV gets

Every part of this show was amazing. The casting. Top notch. The writing. Wow. The crew - the camera style. Cutting edge. It all came together for an epic show. Just wow.

Great interview. One of my favorite all time shows. I wish all Presidents could be like Bartlett.

Martin Sheen was so flipping good in the West Wing. The dynamics between Jed and Leo and Jed and Abbey were just brilliant.

This series is so stellar!! I watch it regularly on DVD. EVERYTHING about it was extraordinary. ❤😃

I STILL love West Wing, I have the series on DVD, & watching it again, along with Madam Secretary, actually helped get me through that 4-year trump fiasco.

The host did a great job, didn’t interrupt and let the guest speak, that’s perfect in this situation. Omg I could listen to west wing stories all day. I watch the full season once a year.

the episode where he calls the Butterball turkey hotline is hilarious. He plays it so well. He's such a bad liar. He's trying to make up a fake name, and a fake job, and a fake situation. And it's so evident he's just the world's worst liar. Which actually kinda supports the character development of President Bartlett as well.

One of my all time favorite shows that I still watch. Incredible cast and writing. I always learned something when I watched the show.

Martin Sheen is giving a wonderful interview here. I wish he’d talked about the episode that I find on KZfaq every Christmas…. First season…. Gloria in exchelsis? I think was the name. Anyone who’s watching this remembers…. Toby arranging the service for a forgotten veteran…. I’m a veteran, and have been to The Wall to honor those I knew and though I’m not particularly religious or anything…. I still weep every time I watch…. Mrs Landingham, who misses her boys, the children’s choir….

One of the best--if not THE best--TV show ever made. Beautifully written, beautifully acted. Perfection.

West Wing was a brilliant series. Well written and acted. Hard to do with such a large cast. Everyone of them brought their A game to this series.

The west wing is one of the best TV dramas ever made, I can watch it over and over and never get bored.

I really felt I grew up with the west wing. I moved out of home with the first season on DVD. I was watching the end of season 2 the night of 9/11 Sydney time. I still watch it to this day.

The West Wing was by far some of the greatest television in the 90s and early 2000s.

I LOVED this series, and to this day, it will always be one of my all time favorite television shows..............AND I am STILL waiting to see Martin Sheen run for President of these United Sates. Just brilliantly acted and thoroughly enjoyed.

I am Brazilian, and we have just got cable TV at our home, when I saw my pre-teenage boys addicted to a TV show, that I thought it was quite complex for them to understand - in English with English subtitles - but that was it. I immediately got addicted too, it was a politics and history class for me, I was interested in how the US Government works, the inside of the White House, the characters in the Bartlet administration were my heroes. Later on we bought all the DVDs, I have them to this days, I can play them in my laptop with an external drive, and from time to time I watch some episodes. Good time were those! Martin Sheen, you’re a great actor, congrats for the fantastic job you did as a Nobel Prize winner and President Bartlet!

Martin Sheen has always been one of my favorite actors. I could imagine the series with him only doing short appearances. My all time favorite series. If only our politicians behaved have as responsibly today, just imagine.

An exceptional example of intelligent, inspired television. Allison Janney in the Marion Cotesworth-Hay scene was stellar ⭐️

Smart actor, smart show, smart interviewer. A bouquet of smart. Yes, please.

The best interviewers are the kind who let the guest talk.

I rewatch the entire series every Leap Year. It is the only way I can survive the reality of our presidential elections.

He has such a calming voice

Thank you Brad Carr for letting him talk & not interrupting. & Thank you Martin Sheen for mentioning the Peace Corps!

The WW is truly up there as one of the greatest shows ever. So compelling infact, when it came to Bartletts’ re-election, some woman in Maine I think actually turned up at her polling station wanting to vote for him. She was in good health and sound mind but believed what she was watching was factual.

Perfect summary of the interview: "It was one of the great times of my life, and one of the most satisfying things I've ever done" - Martin Sheen

The guy just isn't aging....we could reboot the westwing tomorrow

20 hours in America is one of the best speeches. Goosebumps

I'm a Republican and I love Bartlett! I love the show, it is my favorite and I have seen it so many times all the way through. I love the Butterball hotline episode! And I love finding out that a couple of those stories are true!!

I have watched "The West Wing" 4 times all the way through, and what makes the show so great is the fact that it doesn't matter what Presidency, what global or national situation, "The West Wing" is consistently relevant in any political climate - Trump, Biden, Republican, Democrat, national or domestic emergency - it just fits. Watch the episode regarding Tularemia - mind boggling in relation to COVID.

Still today, in my mind, the best show on television.

I rewatch west wing in its entirety about 3 to 4 times a year.... I might have a problem it's just far better than current shows

Great interview. I love that he mentioned that John Spencer scene. My favorites were the disagreements Sheen and Spencer would have in the Oval. With either the Resolute Desk behind them or the seal on the carpet as the background. Really stellar acting. For anyone who loves Sorkin's writing, if you have access to a good AI chatbot, definitely ask it to write stuff as Aaron Sorkin. It's endlessly fun.

I love the modesty of such a great actor and a superb series. Bravo.

He's right about Sorkin being a great writer. The West Wing and the newsroom were two of the best shows I've ever seen and nothing else comes Close.

My favorite show of all time. Wish they made a couple more seasons. Would’ve been interesting to see how Pres. Santos (Jimmy Smits) worked with Sec. Vivick(Alan Alda).

Most favourite series and watched and rewatched many times.

I love that show. I hope they bring it back on reruns. I’ll come over with a new one. Very educational show.

We are pet sitting in England and found that Channel 4 has it on-demand. So much for seeing England.

One of my favorite series of all time. Love those characters! The best seasons were the first few written by Aaron Sorkin. I have all the DVDs and rewatch them from time to time. Great show!

I almost always have a West Wing DVD qued up in my DVD player ready to go. It's like comfort food for the soul!

Without doubt, one of the best, if not THE best 7 season series. I have all the dvd’s and watch it regularly. Thanks!

Two Cathedrals is probably one of the best episodes of television ever made.

It's my favourite series ever. Every 5 years I rewatch. Much to the groynes of my family. When CJ is asked what is the most important topic to effect tge USA, after she leaves the White House. She says 'roads '. And had $10 billion budget to effect change on roads. ❤ Love it.

I would love to meet Martin Sheen and talk about WW with him! I am just finishing my 17th time watching the series. The storytelling and character development is the best there will ever be. I notice something new every time I watch it.

Sorkin is a genius. I cannot get enough of West Wing. Its what we wish our government could be. Smart and truly for the people. Loved and still love it so much. Josh, CJ, Sam and Toby. Leo, Charlie and Jed. And the guest stars are fantastic too. I could go on and on..

The West Wing what is the best television show ever made. Even after Aaron departed the show, the actors had so much invested in those characters that they would not let them fail, and of course, the best episode of any television show ever made is Two Cathedrals. In excelsis deo would be second.

Bartlett for president! Great show and Martin Sheen played his role beautifully!

Always loved Martin Sheen’s work, but the West Wing is sublime. The writing and acting are first class. Oh how we want politics to be like that now, intelligent TV indeed. Great interview Brad

Greatest series ever 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧all perfect casting

Without any doubt in my mind, the single greatest TV series of all time.

The West Wing was one of the best shows on TV. Rob Lowe should have stayed. He was part of what made it great TV.

Fabulous show. Outstanding writing and acting.

Bring the West Wing back!

My girls gave me the entire boxed DVD set of the West Wing. I can't tell you how many times those DVDs have been played. I don't have to be staring at the TV to see the scene and follow the story and conversations. The BEST show of all time.

Best TV show ever, I loved the quick fire back and forth of the characters

Being a naturalized American I found this series exemplified why I became an American - it is a country I love - if only America now espoused the sentiments exhibited by WW what a country it would be...

Martin Sheen, what a amazing man, and a honorable human being!

He, dear Martin himself, is a Natural Treasure

Awesome video! I just rewatched all the seasons of West wing. The writing and acting still holds! Some of the best to do it!❤

Two Cathedrals- my all time fave episode. Bartlet's speech to God.

One of the FEW people in Hollywood I have any respect for

That man can talk! Love Martin Sheen. A fine actor with a fine heart.

“It was a given to me by the personal sous chef to the King of… [Toby waves his hand] …auto sales in Fargo. Phil Baharrrnnnd.” One of my favourite scenes too!

I consider The West Wing in the top three best TV dramaz to come out of the USA, the script is brilliant as are the ensemble of great actors who bring the words to life. A series which not only keeps you hooked but you learn a lot on how American politics work. Or perhaps considering more recent years I should say it shows how American politics is supposed to work.

I learned so much about politics, government, and friendship from the series.

What a humble and sweet man. He truly believes it was the Oval Office, and an interest in how it functions, that made people want more of the president. Literally everyone else in the world knows it was Martin himself that did that. He had us all from, "I am the lord thy god and you shall have no other gods before me."

Never missed an episode.. loved the show, the character development and the stories..

Jed Bartlett is one of the best television characters of all time!! Thanks for an unforgettable performance Martin!

One of the best TV shows ever! Brilliant writing and brilliant acting!

West Wing was one my favorite series of all times.

Hang on...when Martin is discussing the drunken ambassador, either he is confusing two episodes, or the podcast's editing skipped over something. Lawrence Pressman played a US Ambassador who was having an affair with the daughter of the PM of the nation he was ambassador to, and Bartlet did fire him in a humorous way. The drunken ambassador was from Ukraine or another eastern European country and they did find a way for him to bump into Bartlet "by accident" so he could say that he met the President. Two separate episodes. That said, it's a great interview with one of the team that made, I think, the best television series in the history of TV. We will forever be in the debt of that team and it's chief storytelling officer, Aaron Sorkin. I still watch it regularly, when I need to feel better about our current political, ah, trials and want to be reminded of how it could be.

This was a series where you truly cared about all of the characters. None were perfect, they each had their flaws, but you loved them nonetheless. I am re-watching the series now and am at the point in season 6 just before the passing of John Spencer. What a loss.

One of the best shows of all time. Great stuff.

Best of the best!

Fantastic show.

Our family absolutely loves this programme. Our eldest is word perfect on all episodes and can give the title based on a single conversation. When touring Warner bros studios she pointed out to the guide which had been Josh’s building from the steps outside, he had no idea😂

One of the greatest shows of all time in my opinion.

I absolutely adore Aaron Sorkin. I agree he is THE best writer ever...

Always happy to see Mr. Bartlet, best POTUS ever!

All the interviewer said was Hi and the whole interview came out of Martin

Sheen is such a good sport for doing this
