Richard Schiff: Rob Lowe Is Not Part of My 'West Wing' Reboot | The Rich Eisen Show | 2/27/19

He’ll always be Toby to me. TWW is the BEST show of all time❤️

A reboot is only worth doing if Aaron sorkin writes it. The newsroom is the only show that has come close to being as good as the west wing.

You really don't want war, do you kratos?
He did an amazing job as Odin

President Bartlet once told Sam that he will one day run for President, and he will be okay. I'm hoping for a reboot to be about President Seaborn, all other people helping him with that.

[PeterSedesse]

Sam was supposed to be the main character, Martin Sheen, Toby and Josh really stepped up and were awesome, so Sorkin wrote them more into the show. I don't think it was a shot at Rob Lowe, but there is just limited airtime. Then when it came to redo the contracts, the minor characters got raises because of their increased roles, and Rob Lowe did not. He got pissy and started arguments with Sorkin, at one point late in his time, Sorkin wrote an entire episode without Sam in it. And then it exploded. Rob Lowe quit and Sorkin was basically fired. The actual story after Sorkin left was not terrible, but there was a huge drop off in the conversations and feel of the characters.. and in a show without much action, you have to have great dialog.

I don’t know who you are, but this is terrible clickbait.

[MarkPR]

Click bait. Schiff made a joke. At the end he says the opposite.

[BaileysMariner]

The time for a reboot has passed, they should have done a miniseries depicting Santos' last days in office after two terms. There's no realistic way to bring the characters together in DC other than that - including Richard's idea above.

“What’s the Australian’s name?” Classic Ziegler.

[AlpineJoe]

They should reboot with President Seaborne, but he never appears in the show. That would be hilarious.

[sapienalien]

... sounded like a little joke to me 🤷🏻‍♂️

[AdamDeOldSport]

So that's what happened to Odin after Sindri smashed his soul marble

[jamesrawlins]

Getting to work with both Aaron Sorkin and David Shore - life is good for Richard Schiff

[NxDoyle]

Why don't reboots always happen? Because once is enough. Reboots are born of nostalgia and a desire for profit. Almost invariably they suck.

[auveus]

So... This is the guy who plays Odin in God of War Ragnarok?

[faolan]

I'd like to see a Republican west wing. But with real conservatives who want to do goos for the country, like Alan Alda's character, not the current crop of nuts.
There was a time when the difference between the two sides how to get to the goal, not the goal itself.

[andrewbailey]

I'd bring it back with Seaborn running for president having eventually done the impossible by winning the once failed seat in California...and Josh as his Chief of Staff, fulfilling the old man's dream. Charlie should figure prominently. Maybe getting the band together for a run at a Trump like character. A battle that transcends party though...could be fun.

[cordelianoelle]

The West Wing was supposed to be about Sam Seaborn but Martin Sheen took over.

[jackhudkins]

Rich is a great let's his guest talk....
