US actress Allison Janney surprised reporters after she took the podium in the White House press room during a briefing in Washington D.C. on Friday, reprising her role as White House press secretary C.J. Cregg from the hit NBC series The West Wing. Standing at the lectern, Janney, who won four Emmys for her role as C.J. Cregg, cracked a few inside jokes from The West Wing as White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest and a group of reporters watched on in amusement.
