Reply #51: taped sketch shown during the episode Gore hosted ...

[Lisa]

It was filmed on the West Wing set. Gore, playing himself, was visiting the cast -- and started to make some unusual requests! Here is the transcript, though it doesn't give the full impact of the piece. John Spencer's facial expressions were just classic! (That episode is available as an Emmy screening DVD -- I managed to get a copy on eBay a while ago.)

Al Gore: Of course! John! I'm a huge fan.

John Spencer: Thank you, sir.

Al Gore: Say, John.. could you do me a small favor?

John Spencer: Of course.

Al Gore: I'm gonna stand over here by the window, with my back to you. And I'd like you to.. step up to the desk and say, "Mr. President? The Joint Chiefs want an answer."

< Spencer looks at Sheen with disturbed horror >

John Spencer: Sure.

< Gore takes his place by the window >

John Spencer: "Mr. President? The Joint Chiefs want an answer."

Al Gore: < turns dramatically to face Spencer > "Tell them.. we're going in!"
