Allison Janney in Colorado

From an interview with Allison Janney while hosting the Colorado International Film Festival:

"Janney reports for the seventh season of "The West Wing," beginning Wednesday.

"I am extremely happy that we are all coming back next season," she said. "I swear to you, though, that John Wells has not let us know who's winning the election - even though we all have our opinions."

The longer the show runs, however, the longer Janney is kept from her first love.

"I feel like I have only just scratched the surface of my theater career," she said. "I can't wait to get back and do more."
