Sorkin and Chenowith’s on-again off-again on-again?
There has been much, very much, oh so very very much much much made of the correlation between the relationship of Matt and Harriet on Studio 60 and the relationship of Aaron Sorkin and Kristen Chenowith in real life. Imagine, then, what the scene would have been like in a second Studio 60 season for this little gossip item, pulled from a USA Today story about Chenowith’s new fall series Pushing Daisies:
“Meanwhile, co-star Kristin Chenoweth’s SUV has been covered in toilet paper by her admirer and former employer, West Wing producer Aaron Sorkin. ‘He told me it’s a tradition dating back to silent-movie times, that boys who are sweet on girls toilet-paper their cars,’ she says. (Her publicist Friday declined comment on the status of their on-again, off-again relationship.)”
You know, I’ve kind of dismissed all the talk that Sorkin was just recycling his private life in the show, but … but … man, that totally sounds like something Matt would do, doesn’t it? We lost a good opportunity for banter there, for sure.
Meanwhile: If somebody TP’d your car, would you buy that as a token of affection, or would you consider it a token that it’s time to be off-again again? And if it’s the former, would you expect his next token of affection to be cleaning up the mess?
