The "West Wing" Cast Reunited For A Video About The White House's "Big Block Of Cheese Day."

And it was un-brie-leavable.

The cast of The West Wing has reunited for a video about the White House's second "Big Block of Cheese Day," an event where the Obama administration will spend a day answering questions submitted via social media.

The name, "Big Block of Cheese Day," references a day during Andrew Jackson's presidency wherein he literally put a humongous block of cheese in the White House's hall and invited people to come in, eat cheese, and talk politics.

On February 22, 1837, President Jackson had a 1,400-pound block of cheese hauled into the main foyer of the White House for an open house with thousands of citizens and his staff, where they discussed the issues of the day while carving off slabs of cheddar.

In The West Wing, "Big Block of Cheese Day" was reinstated under Chief of Staff Leo McGarry, who extolled its virtues in a yearly speech.
