Published: Oct. 31, 2018, 3:25 a.m.

We\u2019re joined by three guests for our discussion of "No Exit." Former Senator Tom Daschle tells us about what it was like getting sent anthrax in the mail; Wilson Cruz tells us about playing Jack Sosa for his two episodes on The West Wing; and Eli Attie tells us about the writing of the episode, specifically the Will and Toby scenes, which he co-wrote with Peter Noah. But first, a poem that this episode inspired Hrishi to write:

\n\n

Albert Camus
\nCried, "What do we do?
\nWe're all stuck here in a cell!"

\n\n

So Samuel Beckett
\nGot totally nekkid.
\n"Let's go!" he started to yell.

\n\n

But Jean-Paul Sartre
\nJust let out a fartre
\nAnd said, "Other people are hell."
