Aaron Sorkin: I’d revive The West Wing with Sterling K. Brown as president — but there would be no Trump

Entertainment Weekly

Sorkin says his revival idea would involve “Sterling K. Brown as the president, and there’s some kind of jam, an emergency, a very delicate situation involving the threat of war or something, and (President) Bartlett, long since retired, is consulted in the way that Bill Clinton used to consult with Nixon.” But that’s all he’s figured out. He hasn’t found a place for Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford or any other original cast member. And Sorkin insists that there won’t be a President Trump. “Trump is exactly what he looks like: a really dumb guy with an observable psychiatric disorder,” says Sorkin. UPDATE: Sterling K. Brown responded to Sorkin: "if you are serious, sir, I would be honored!" That prompted This Is Us executive producer Ken Olin to tweet: "Um. No. You belong on @NBCThisisUs and I know about 20 million people who won’t let you go." To which Brown responded: "I'm talkin' 'bout later, man! Geez."
