AARON BURR: How does a podcast, web thing, Lees meer

Recap and chat on The West Wing,

Dropped on the internet by nostalgic pals

On a fake President—it makes no sense!

How do Josh and Hrish, on balance,

Manage to land two major Broadway talents?

The two gallants, Lin-Manuel and Tommy Kail,

Got a lot farther by working a lot harder

By being a lot smarter, by being self-starters

By watching Bartlet, who's based a bit on Jimmy Carter

Well, the word got around that they’re like, "Sorkin is insane, man"

So we sent a lot of emails till we got into their brainpan:

"Do a special episode, lend us some acclaim and

Let's talk about the napkin in the frame."

Roll the name, son:

West Wing Weekly Hamilton

This thing is West Wing Weekly Hamilton

There's a million things these guys have won

So just hit play, just hit play…
