I sat in this hotel room for thirteen months writing The American President. I have heard various stories about the origin of this series. Yeah, I haven't taken too much shit for that. Because, as the president in your film points out, it's all about moral character, and no man sitting in that office could ever forget that.

Or is that a little implausible? Sorkin: First of all, I wrote a movie called The American President, and I spent some time at the White House, and there's no way that any of the people close to the president are going to let a young girl around. Then the president has an affair with an intern, and, instead of news, the network makes him do 228 straight shows about the president and the intern, and he doesn't want to do it anymore, so he goes to some rival Sports Night, and then he leads the rival to a ratings tie in ninety days. One of the guys quits Sports Night to be a newscaster. Olbermann: I want to try out a story outline on you. What we found is that time appears to heal most, if not all, wounds. Eight months later, we asked the two gentlemen if they'd be interested in getting together to talk sports, television, and artistic inspiration. "How much more of my life can these people borrow before they have to pay me?" Olbermann wailed. It seemed as though Sorkin had "borrowed" events from Olbermann's former life as coanchor, with Dan Patrick, of ESPN's SportsCenter. When Aaron Sorkin's Sports Night made its much-ballyhooed debut on ABC last fall, Fox Sports News anchor Keith Olbermann was-surprise!-a trifie vexed.
