STUDIO 60's Aaron Sorkin
Counting Down To Another
TV-Show-Within-A-TV-Show??

I am – Hercules!!


“A Few Good Men”/”Charlie Wilson’s War” screenwriter Aaron Sorkin, who has already created two TV series set behind the scenes of a TV series, is reportedly mulling a third, according to Entertainment Weekly.

As Sorkin’s “Sports Night” fictionalized ESPN’s “Sports Center” and “Studio 60” fictionalized “Saturday Night Live,” Sorkin’s new show could present a pretend version of MSNBC’s “Countdown With Keith Olbermann.”

Perhaps Sorkin will recruit “In Treatment” vet Josh Charles, who played the Olbermann character on “Sports Night.”

Check out the penultimate paragraph of the Entertainment Weekly story here.
