During an episode of the Aaron Sorkin-created NBC drama’s Emmy-winning second season, a group of high-level West Wing staffers are trying to figure out when President Bartlet will return from Tokyo back to Washington, D.C.

Cregg, Deputy Chief of Staff Josh Lyman and Communications Director Toby Ziegler (played by Rob Lowe, Allison Janney, Bradley Whitford and Richard Schiff, respectively).
