'For four years, I had the best job in show business,' Sorkin said at the PaleyFest panel on Friday night.

on Friday, creator Aaron Sorkin said that he never intended to do television, and when his agent set up a meeting with producer John Wells, he didn’t intend to pitch anything. writer Akiva Goldsman suggested there might be a TV show in the premise from Sorkin’s film. Only instead of romance, it should be about the senior staff. So when Sorkin showed up to the lunch and saw Wells with a group of executives and agents, he immediately pitched the concept.

At the panel on Friday night, Sorkin chose to screen the episode "Two Cathedrals," which was the finale of the second season and is considered by many fans to be one of the series’ best episodes.
