White House celebrates 25 years of "The West Wing" | full video

Martin Sheen was born to play that role.

Indeed!

The West Wing was truly brilliant television. It is so wonderful to remember there is something worth fighting for. Knowledge is free! Inspirational words. Xx

Politics aside, the West Wing was a awesome piece of television...Martin Sheen nailed it once again

[@lindadorman2869]

Maybe Aaron Sorkin will take pen to paper and write the next story about Joe Biden. Because in 25 years, we should still be celebrating his statesmanship.

Martin Sheen needs to come back and play his role again. All the actors and actresses were outstanding, but Martin Sheen was the backbone. He is such a great actor.

Did Martin Sheen slip and call Dr. Biden "Dr. Bartlet?" It happens to the best of us, I suppose.

[@just__dave]

He sure did! Speaking of Dr. Bartlet, where’s Stockard Channing?

[@RJNoe]

He may have been making a joke.

It was a privilege to part of the West Wing family for the Pilot and 1st season! By far the best show i got to work on! The talent was amazing and Aarons words were inspiring. I woke up everyday with anticipation of what the day would bring! Truly an honor to be a part of this great show!!

[@kayrohde]

When the West Wing first aired, I was not afforded the luxury of time to watch it. 25 years later, thank God it is available on MAX and I was so swept up in it that I watched it almost non-stop (well, I did have to cook and clean a bit) and it has been such a wonderful experience. This is what TV should be. Even today, when Martin Sheen gave the speech above, I was moved. Thank you to the writers, producers and actors that made this the American icon that it is today.

[@IsaDesOsiers]

This White House has been remarkable in so many ways. Biden has truly been an unsung hero, and I hope through historians we come to realize how remarkable and positive for American his White House has been. Dr. Jill Biden is wonderful, and this event invoked the greatness of America in the quiet parts of its way of being. This gathering was both quaint and somehow majestic, in lifting up teachers, and remembering an important "mere" TV show and the power of that media when used to tell these kinds of stories. I wish more shows were like it now.

Martin Sheen is a superlative actor, and I have watched grow in his craft, over the years. He’s now, like me, gray and aging. He’s still a handsome and humble man; so full of character, Faith and whatever else makes him Martin Sheen! 🙏🦋🙏🦋🙏 🧡🌺🧡🌺🧡

[@LawrenceFilippone]

Awesome show. Great values.

[@robinmendelson5512]

It was until July 21 that I was able to watch it again. But President Biden’s courage inspired me once again. I bought the series and have been watching every day. 🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐈‍⬛🐾💙🩵🇺🇸⬆️⬇️🔵🟦🔷🔹🌎↕️

Martin Sheen hasn't lost a step. Hearing him up there speaking it was all passion. I wish Joe couldn't have been there with them too.

[@easyenetwork2023]

Wish they had gotten Mark Harmon. He got the job as Gibbs on NCIS because of the West Wing.

[@StarLord-tq1ii]

i wish the president would hire whoever wrote that speech.

What a sight and sound to hear…an actual coherent and poignant POTUS. Can we trade both candidates and the current occupant for Martin???

I miss Allison Janney. She played her part so well!

[@word123456789100]

It's "tell her where you are". C'mon Dr. Biden.

[@johnproctor5314]

If this were an episode of 'The West Wing', Josh would be giving the most exasperated sigh, while Donna will tell him he's overreacting. But then it all ties together with a super inspirational Sorkin moment, with Bartlett giving another speech that'll get rewatched over-and-over (like his other West Wing scenes).
