Amanda AustinHOST
It could have been.
Amanda AustinHOST
And you are giving so much CJ Craig energy right now with everything that you just said.
Amanda AustinHOST
I love it that you are going for it.
Amanda AustinHOST
You're being bold.
David SamsonHOST
You won't be sorry.

CJ from "West Wing" won an Emmy last night, Allison Janney, also a very well-decorated Emmy Award winner.
David SamsonHOST
She won for a show called "The Diplomat," which stars Keri Russell, who didn't win.
David SamsonHOST
The show didn't win, but she's married to the two-time winner last night, Matthew Rhys, who won not one acting award for "Widow's Bay," but another one for "The Beast in Me." That's two Lead Actor awards for two different roles.

So she made history, and then shortly thereafter, Allison Janney joined her in the eight club, winning her eighth Emmy Award, Janney, uh, winning the Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actress in The Diplomat.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
Now, Janney's always been a favorite of mine going back to her time as CJ Cregg on The West Wing on NBC back in the day.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
There were a couple of powerful tributes, uh, we should make mention of, as we lost a number of legends in the last year.
Mosheh OinounouHOST
Macaulay Culkin remembered Catherine O'Hara, his on-screen mom from Home Alone.
Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
I did watch "The Diplomat," all of that, and I think they're still making them, actually.
Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
Allison Janney, we would've seen her for the first time on "The West Wing." She played CJ.
Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
Remember that show about the White House? If you're into politics, you probably saw it.
Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
She was CJ Cregg.
Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
She was the press secretary.
Michael Patrick ShielsHOST
But now she is tied for the most all-time acting Emmy wins with eight of them, Allison Janney.

There's a line White House Press Secretary C.J. Craig says in the West Wing, where she goes, You think I don't know I'm living out the top line of my obituary right now? And that's kind of how a lot of child actors feel, but about something they did when they were nine.
Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
And I've noticed the child actors I know, guys and girls, have had very different pathologies.
Casey SimpsonSOUNDBITE_SPEAKER
In my experience, it's been the girls I know who are child actors who feel like they just missed out on a childhood.
Sophie VershbowHOST
I just don't know.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
Do you, are you an, are you the kinda person who like Allison Janney is C.J. Cregg to you at all times?
Sophie VershbowHOST
Yes.
Rudi GreenbergHOST
Okay.
