25 Mind-Blowing Facts About The West Wing

6. If Sorkin Had Remained Until The End, He Would Have Given Bartlet A Somewhat Different Ending

West Wing Tomorrow

In the final episode of the last series of The West Wing, Bartlet is seen flying off to New Hampshire on Air Force One when he opens a present that proves to be the napkin with the words "BARTLET FOR AMERICA" that Leo McGarry had given him nine years previously.

However, Sorkin has since admitted he would have written "Tomorrow" quite differently. Sorkin said of his ending: "Bartlet, the now ex-president, would be in street clothes and a baseball cap and just blend into the crowd until we couldn't make him out anymore."
