The role that Janel did on Sports Night was not small, she was only on screen for a couple moments, but she gave Peter Krause a speech that really knocked us all out. We had brought her in, actually, to read for CJ. She did fantastically well, but obviously Allison Janney got the part. There are a lot of actors, but hardly any of them are really, really good. When you find them, you hate tossing them back… - Aaron Sorkin on writing Donna Moss in season one of The West Wing

Behind the scenes of The West Wing series finale

“It was a great show to be a part of. It was such a positive show. It taught people, and educated people, and entertained people… I’m so proud of it. I hope its legacy is that it’s one of the greatest shows ever in television history.” - Allison Janney

I have seen this episode, I have not seen them all, because it’s creepy to watch. (…) This was number 17, and it was kind of a wonderful time, it was a good time during the show. It was before Josh [Malina] came on. I just watched this show, and Allison Janney is so stinking good. She’s so funny in the Oval Office… And this will sound corny, but just seeing Janel… seeing Donna… oh my god… I just- I was so in love with her. – Bradley Whitford on Allison and Janel in ‘The Stackhouse Filibuster’

I do remember one time, this moment where I turned around and let Brad sign something on my back. I kind of bent over when I turned and I thought, “Oh, that was naughty.” Those little moments… we would find these little flirtatious things… All those things were a lot of fun. - Janel Moloney

Aaron Sorkin: There really aren’t many moments on The West Wing where I take my hands off the keyboard, and give the actor the ball and say, “It’s yours now.” You can’t do that with every actor, but I could do it with every actor on The West Wing. CJ has to break down without the help of any words at all. Allison had to kind of go from 0 to 100 by herself. Allison Janney: That was unbelievably hard to do. In Times Square? That was very challenging. There was a guy that bumped into me. He hit me – and I love Alex Graves the director for this – I think he told him to hit me. It really knocked it out of me, and I started crying because I was so upset. Aaron Sorkin: I told Alex to tell him to hit you. Allison Janney: (laughing) All these people in Times Square were standing across the street, all watching me. I was performing literally on Broadway, more than I’ve ever been on Broadway before. It was really challenging. It was late and cold and rainy. I was like, “Please, I’m getting this.” Then that guy hit me, and I was like, “Oh, thank God!” And I felt this wave of emotion.

When we were doing the show our goal was nothing grander than to entertain you for however long we’d asked for your attention. It’s an understatement to say that it’s gratifying to all of us that the show has a life in DVD box sets and Netflix. That people who were in grade school when the show was on the air are coming to it now like it’s new. And that there are young people who say they got into public service because of the show. During one of our monthly cast lunches in the first season, Brad Whitford said, “No matter what we do from here on out, this show is the first line of our obituaries.” Martin, who was in Apocalypse Now, said, “I’m good with that”. Me too. – Aaron Sorkin

I went in and read once and got the part. I always say if I had been testing for the part that I ended up doing, I wouldn’t have gotten it. They wouldn’t have let me do it. To play the girl on a big tv show… I wouldn’t have gotten the part. I was totally unknown, number one. Number two, they would have thought, like, “Oh, let’s get someone cuter!” I’m telling you, it’s stupid. They’re stupid. It’s a bad system. It got to be such a great part. If people had known it was such a great part, they would have offered it out to people. Other people would have taken it. But it was just… it was mine. It was meant to be. - Janel Moloney

Janel’s my neighbor and one of my best friends, to this day. She’s a lovely woman. Just smart, and very funny, and beautiful. A great friend, and a great neighbor to me. We have two dogs together that we… you know, our dogs play everyday. She’s a great person and I think a wonderful actress. - Allison Janney

The West Wing - Foreigner’s God WATCH ON YOUTUBE

In The West Wing, the Iowa episode “King Corn” directly concerns the growing sexual tension between Josh Lyman and Donna Moss. The episode finds the two coming ever closer to answering the will-they-or-won’t-they question in the affirmative—realizing that their hotel rooms in Cedar Rapids are directly across the hall from each other. It emphasizes their parallel mornings. It emphasizes their parallel days. It ends with Josh, aaaalmost deciding to knock on Donna’s door when the day is done, and then deciding against it. And yet, the episode does the work that will be necessary for Donna and Josh to become a couple: It insists on their equality. All those parallels—rooms and days—suggest how far Donna has come from being, simply, Josh’s assistant. They suggest that Donna and Josh becoming a couple would not be a boss-and-secretary affair, but rather a marriage—or, you know, a committed relationship—of equals.
