Answer: Aaron Sorkin

Sorkin, born on June 9th, 1961 in New York City, was credited with penning this episode of "The West Wing." In the opening credits, you could see that his name was mentioned as the one who wrote this episode. Sorkin not only created "The West Wing" but wrote a total of 155 episodes for the show.

Answer: Andrew Jackson

At the beginning of the episode, C.J. met with many members of organizations in an event called the "Big Block of Cheese Day." The day, according to her, was created by President Jackson so that the President and his staff could meet with members of organizations they often did not talk to for the entire year.

It was an annual event where people from these organizations could push forth their platforms and discuss concerns regarding their causes.

Answer: Leo McGarry

McGarry was seen commenting to his staff about encouraging them to meet with the special interest groups on "Big Block of Cheese Day" since they only got one day of the entire year to tell The White House about their concerns. Leo also discussed the very first ever "Big Block of Cheese Day" and how President Jackson had a two ton block of cheese for Americans to eat.

This symbolized how The White House would be open to hearing from many groups, hence the name of the day.

Answer: Toby Ziegler

While Leo was discussing the origins of "Big Block of Cheese Day", Toby was seen rolling his eyes as to its creation and showed he was not fond of the day.

Despite this, Leo still urged Toby to listen to the special interest groups participating in the day.

Leo, again, told Josh to take the day seriously since the groups only got this one day to discuss issues with the staff.

Answer: Wolf
