Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which five senior staff characters were seen in the first episode of series 1?

Answer: Leo , CJ, Josh, Sam and Toby

Leo is Chief of Staff, Josh is his deputy, Toby is Communications Director, and CJ is Press Secretary. Others that have been are (the beloved) Sam, Mandy and Will.

2. In one of the first Christmas episodes Donna says to Josh - 'You spend most of your time being _'.

Answer: Well, you

This is said after Josh gives Donna a rare book on skiing and writes a sweet note inside. She follows up this lovely compliment with 'Skis would have killed you?' To which Josh's reply is simply 'Yep.'

3. What are the President's girls named?

Answer: Elizabeth, Elenor and Zoey

Zoey was a regular through the first series, but sort of disappeared in the second. Ellie was in one episode in the second series.

4. After accidently telling Mallory that he accidently slept with a prostitute the night before, what does Sam say?

Answer: This is bad on so many levels

Sam says this thinking he is just talking to a total stranger -because that is so much better than telling your boss's daughter? You have to love him!

5. How many times had Sam been married before he left the show?

Answer: Never

We find out in 'In The Shadow Of Two Gunmen' that Sam was engaged when Josh came to see him about going to see Governor Bartlet speak. We later find out more about this in the third series.

6. What do Donna and Sam regulary accuse Josh of not being?

Answer: A lawyer

Donna says she just meant he didn't practise law. Josh replies 'I make the law, I help write the law, I am the law.'

7. When the speech writing staff quit and Will gets five interns instead, how many of them are called Lauren?

Answer: Three

'She gets to be number one because she got the sandwiches. I expect you two to fight for number two.' Toby tells Will on the phone that he fired the old staff, but really they quit because Will 'Got deputy after five minutes in the White House.'

8. What are Toby, Will and CJ doing when two shots are fired at the press briefing room?

Answer: Trying to hit the fifth row of seats with a playing card

Toby didn't think Will could do it and he never got the chance to try when a shooter from the sidewalk fired in order to be shot at by Secret Service agents.

9. Ainsley Hayes - the Republican who 'kicked Sam's behind on 'Capital Beat' - is later replaced by whom?

Answer: Joe Quincy

Joe is (another Republican) played by Matthew Perry. When we first meet Ainsley (kicking Sam's behind), Sam says he hopes no one is watching. Cut to Toby 'Ginger get the popcorn!'

10. Which two male characters are often in the show but don't get their names in the opening credits?

Answer: Ed and Larry

Ed is the shorter one! I think they could be my favourites - except you know, the President, Charlie, Josh, Donna, CJ and oh never mind!
