What, no part for Joshua Malina? That's very "un-Sorkin-like".

Actually, since the show completely rips the network that broadcasts the SNL-like show at the core of the series, it kinda does surprise me that NBC picked it up. I guess their bottom line is more important to them than their self-esteem.
Oh, wait--they're a corporation. OF COURSE their bottom line is more important!

Last I heard, Joshua Malina will be part of the cast, but he wasn't part of the pilot. I would imagine that at some point he'll join the cast because he's been in every Aaron Sorkin project.
