<P> In March 2016, The West Wing Weekly podcast hosted by Hrishikesh Hirway and Joshua Malina began . Each episode of the podcast discusses an episode of The West Wing and has featured various cast and crew members from the series . </P> <P> A major fan convention, "West Wing Weekend" is planned to take place September 28 - 30, 2018, at the Marriott Hotel in Bethesda, Maryland . The convention will feature guest appearances from some members of the series' cast, as well as a number of panels, fan - based programming, and special events . A Kickstarter campaign for the convention was started on January 4, 2018, to raise $10,000, and it was fully funded within two days . </P> <P> Many venues, including Funny or Die, Mad TV, and the Late Night with Seth Meyers have parodied the walk - and - talk cliche of the show, including the "ping - pong" dialogue, in which one character would speak barely a word before the other said another, and then repeated back and forth . </P>
