Allison Janney On Playing CJ Cregg In 'The West Wing' | Entertainment Weekly

C.J. is about my favourite female character ever to appear on the television screen. Allison is a superb actress.
I actually bought the whole series on DVD.
She looks better with red hair.
Just discovered West Wing a month ago and it is scary how relevant it is.
“Josh” looks so different but once you hear his voice it hits you in the face
Allison is right, I am on my 3rd session of binge watching WW…
my wife and I are rewatching it again right now, in the middle of season 3. If anything, it's refreshing to see a white house and an administration that I feel could actually be working to make everyone's life better
I am a second-time watcher. It occurs to me that alhought these are 40 minute-episodes, the pace is so high that at the end, when the credits come, you have no idea 40 minutes already passed. Seemed like only 25 or so.
Of course that is not true for all episodes, but for most of them.
Rewatching West Wing (for the 4th time for my family) is simply good nutrition for our minds and souls. Especially in 2020.
most talented cast eevr
CJ set the bar high for what a Press Secretary should be!
I got a lawyer
What?
I got a lawyer.
Remember, don't talk to Toby when C.J is doing the Jackal
I like the word antidote to describe it. That’s it! Watching the ww is my antidote to survive these crazy times and, you know, to move on.
CJ Cregg was by far my most favorite character in this series, and much of it was because of how Allison Janney was able to bring that character to life. So good to see this gathering. #SamSeabourne2024
I'm watching it for the 9th time CJ (War Crimes)! I found it the Fall after the series ended and ordered all of the season DVDs. Of course now I watch it on Netflix -and I'm a Christian who's not even a democrat! Love the show and hope to meet some of you guys in Heaven.
I also wish they could do it again. Please, consider doing it again.
Real Americans, Please help me share this video against vacuous Moscow Mitch! ? https://youtu.be/vbqNvDFjH9Q?t=1
I love the west wing, when I watch all seasons, I start right back over!
Some wise people say that killing Trump is a form of self-defense if you believe him being alive will result in your death. Would that be a tragedy?
I absolutely love this woman xoxoxo CJ is my role model – tall like me x Sooooo beautiful (I wish) inside and out! So funny and What an amazing laugh, that laugh makes me laugh every time! Intelligent, eloquent x I massively aspire to be like CJ! Such an amazing soul Allison and CJ. Speaking of one is one of the same xxxxx mwah love you and thank you ? so much x Ps loved the jackal xxx ‘imagine being the one he didn’t marry!’ hahahhahaha xx
Bradley Whitford: [Snorts] That would be bad writing. LOL
I've been binge-watching West Wing continually since the election, just to remind me what a real presidency looks like.
I’m actually watching the series for the first time, I bought it a few months ago. And I have started watching while being in quarantine, so much brilliant acting and writing. And I’m glad that I’m having the opportunity to watch… greatness
I keep it going on a loop until the next election.
C.J. was absolutely FANTASTIC!!!
And so is Alison!!
BTW: I'm watching season 7 on DVD right now. No kidding.
When she went to other projects i sad CJ character fit her best. It was a soul rendering talent of acting skill set
During the furlough covic related 2020 took me two weeks to complete. I was mesmerize no show matches the realization of this show. Time has passed everyone ages wish somehow it could be redone for now in time.
Allison forgive me, but I still want to jump in the pool with you.
Love this show. Have all seasons and watch on a regular
She is right. I AM watching West Wing again.
Josh came close to predicting this in The Crackpots and These Women
Which episode was it that CJ confronted a sexual abuser?
#WhereisRobLowe?
Don-NA!
I just today saw the one where her Secret Service bodyguard dies. Heartbreak! She's so good!
Allison Janney for President, I said. And the admirable Ms Janney said she could never run for anything because she knew nothing about politics. Well, look what you’ve got now.
I bought the whole DVD box set after the show ended I have watched in entirety 6 different times and still binge watch on Netflix
I know actors don't like to be type cast while I always see her a CJ. Even when I saw JUNO I still saw her as CJ.
So far up you ass!

I can't understand why this lady is do insecure. Don't wish you could be like CJ. You ARE CJ. The rest of us are only worthy to kiss your feet….if even that.
What great writing and what great casting to bring it to life and make it shine.
Binge-watching The West Wing now is my…what's the right term? My palate cleanser? My tonic? My antidote? My escape from current nightmare we can't wake up from? I don't know what to call it, but sometimes it just feels necessary for my sanity. Then I fall in love all over again.
C.J. Craig 2020!!
Love that show
Please leave CJ alone… she's just had a Woot Cawal.
I like how Janney's still kinda mad at Whitford for jinxing her trailer with decor haha
Still sheltering in place and on my second watching of the series’s. Episode 5, season 1 predicted the pandemic we are in right now!
