5.20: No Exit (with Fmr. Senator Tom Daschle, Wilson Cruz, and Eli Attie)

We’re joined by three guests for our discussion of "No Exit." Former Senator Tom Daschle tells us about what it was like getting sent anthrax in the mail; Wilson Cruz tells us about playing Jack Sosa for his two episodes on The West Wing; and Eli Attie tells us about the writing of the episode, specifically the Will and Toby scenes, which he co-wrote with Peter Noah. But first, a poem that this episode inspired Hrishi to write:

Albert Camus

Cried, "What do we do?

We're all stuck here in a cell!"

So Samuel Beckett

Got totally nekkid.

"Let's go!" he started to yell.

But Jean-Paul Sartre

Just let out a fartre

And said, "Other people are hell."
