He knows of what he speaks….
“Television is a terribly influential part of this country, and when things that are very mean-spirited and voyeuristic go on TV, I think it’s bad crack in the schoolyard”
So sayeth maybe the most brilliant TV writer and…. questionable substance user in history.
Aaron Sorkin (of West Wing and SportsNight fame) has a new show this fall, and in the press gaggle, made a lil’ slip of the tongue. Matthew Perry (of Friends fame, and one with a history of some issues himself) made the best of it- had a little fun. Steven Weber (of Wings fame, and as far as I know his only relationship to drugs is making you want to take them because every part he plays is Brian Hackett) joins the fray also.
Does raise the question though- what exactly would be good crack in the schoolyard ?
