She was so good at it he called back and talked to her supervisors to compliment her. After the supervisor call, the supervisor came over and said, “Do you know who that was?” My coworker shook her head. All the calls were pretty much the same to her. “You just spent a half hour talking to Kurt Russell, the actor.”

After the supervisor call, the supervisor came over and said, “Do you know who that was?” My coworker shook her head. All the calls were pretty much the same to her. “You just spent a half hour talking to Kurt Russell, the actor.”

3:06 - 3:15 - "Well, then we'd have to call it something else, wouldn't we?" Fun Fact: It actually IS called something else. It's called a "dressing". ;)

Some of the best product placement in the history of television.
This show has been a part of my life for 14 years! I watched the season 1 DVD in one day! I was watching the end of season 2 in Western Sydney the night of 9/11. It was my staple birthday present for years! Just the best show ever!

The quote at the end makes the entire exchange worth it! "That was excellent! We should do that once a week!" LOL!

Oh my god, I completely forgot about this scene. What a classic! The name he gives ("And an H in there somewhere"), the "King of Auto Sales," there's just so many hilarious lines rapid-firing in this scene it's impossible to pick a favorite.

pjabrony he did prank phone call once pretending to be his own employee or something. Gotta love that guy. Proof anybody can be president.
One of the best product placement integrations in the decade if not all time.
And we wonder why there was worry about looking out over this magnificent vista…
This is one of favorite scenes from the show. I wonder if her supervisor told her when she get of the phone that she spoke to the president.
Nowadays, this phone call will be reported on the national news.
Phil Baharnd fuckin gets me every time. Can't breathe, tears streaming down my face... every fucking time.
I think it would have been perfect if it ended with the Butterball hotline lady saying "Glad to help, Mr. President"
Essential viewing for Thanksgiving!
Rewatching this TV show for the umpteenth time. And I have to say this is the funniest scene in all 7 seasons.
Slow day at the White House, apparently.
It would have been hilarious if she ended it with, “have a good day Mr. President.”

Yes
perhaps instead of a myth, Sorkin was trying to portray the ideal?
I know it’s not in keeping with the style of the show. But it be funny if there a post credits scene with a guy going to his mailbox with 11454 written on it, checking the mail, pausing and saying “who’s Joe Bethersenken?” Shrugs and opens it and finds a coupon for 50% off a butterball turkey and a ‘thank you’ note for his customer feedback.
Man I miss president bartlett
