Episode 5.20: No Exit (with Fmr. Senator Tom Daschle, Wilson Cruz, and Eli Attie)

0:00 1:07:25

We’re joined by three guests for our discussion of "No Exit." Former Senator Tom Daschle tells us about what it was like getting sent anthrax in the mail; Wilson Cruz tells us about playing Jack Sosa for his two episodes on The West Wing; and Eli Attie tells us about the writing of the episode, specifically the Will and Toby scenes, which he co-wrote with Peter Noah. But first, a poem that this episode inspired Hrishi to write:

Albert Camus Cried, "What do we do? We're all stuck here in a cell!"

So Samuel Beckett Got totally nekkid. "Let's go!" he started to yell.

But Jean-Paul Sartre Just let out a fartre And said, "Other people are hell."
