West Wing and Sports Night fans are excited about Aaron Sorkin's new fall show, Studio 60, which depicts the behind the scenes goings on at an SNL-like television show. That excitement only increased when they found out that West Wing veterans Matthew Perry, Bradley Whitford, and Timothy Busfield had signed on.

Now we can get a sneak peek at the script for the first episode. Of course, this is not the final shooting script. The name of the show has changed as well as some of the character names, but it gives a good idea what the show is about and what direction Sorkin will take the show.

Also: there's already a Wikipedia page up for the show.
