The 7 year history of Josh and Donna set to the score of Love Actually. Its long but there were too many uncuttable scenes. None of this belongs to me, all is NBC.
seriously the best couple on tv. how many shows have two people who love each other so much and yet did not have an actual relationship till....6 damn seasons later!! arguably this relationship was something all west wing fans wanted FOR A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME. and im glad i stuck with the show cause my prayers were answered:) awesome music video!
It has literally been hailed as one of the greatest television shows ever made. and for all of those reasons TOGETHER. UNIQUE!! Talent of writing, creativity, acting, Chemistry, you name it.
How do they get into our souls, secret wishes and desires, you've captured them all in this amazing clip of Josh & Donna, if only they were real. Lovingly done and wow what a production. Made me cry; from an old man (76) who is still in love thank you; thank you; thank you, and the music, there is nothing to say. Bring back the West Wing. Clive & Pamela mainwaring S/W France
No kidding..I rolled my eyes when i saw what this was. Because I figured it couldn't do the couple justice...but it really was amazing. Man I love them so much, and you told the story well. Thank you
I love the bit at 1:27 when Josh says if Donna was in a an accident he wouldn't stop for a beer, to which Donna rteplies that she wouldn't stop for red lights!
You could always tell, even before they hooked up, that he had feelings for her just by the way he looked at her. Like...if anything happened to her, that he wouldn't know what to do. He was completely and utterly in love for such a very long time, he was just afraid to take the next step for fear of being rejected.
I agree and that rejection would have been on a scale equal to his sense of loss over his fathers and grandfathers deaths. He simply didn't feel capable of surviving that.
I'm a SOLID Wingnut, & loved the evolution of this relationship throughout the years. BRILLIANT job putting this video together. I'm a die-hard romantic, & this made me tear up more then once. Nicely done.
Fear. He had such a strong bond with Donna that he feared losing that if he tried to move beyond friendship. Ultimately Donna is the stronger half of this relationship and Josh for all his bravado and apparent self-confidence simply cannot cope without her. It shows up most strongly when she's hurt in Gaza and again when he's campaigning with Matt Santos and Donna works for Bob Russell. His pride gets in the way for a while too. Donna shows not just her strength but her incredible compassion and intelligence by not holding that against him because she sees how vulnerable he truly is behind the facade. It's a brilliantly written and paced TV romance, still easily the best I've ever seen. Both Actors play it perfectly as well.
I think the point was it didn’t. He knew pretty much from the start. But the risk of him screwing up and the work relation going up in flames held him back.
I always assumed that he knew he was attracted to Donna from the start but he was so consumed trying to do the right thing by Leo, the President and bizarrely even by Donna, that he didn't take the risk. It's no mistake that it wasn't until they both left the White House to get together. And why Josh struggled to work out what Donna could do in the new administration - he didn't want to be every stereotype of a sleazy boss.
The BEST Donna and Josh video, thank you! I loved every minute. 💙 And set to the music from one of my very favorite movies, Love Actually. I watch it every year, usually at Christmas time! If you are familiar with it and haven't seen the director's cut with Richard Curtis and all the deleted scenes, please give it a watch, I think you will love it. ☺
Love Donna as the ultimate multi-tasker at 6:32, aligning her hips with Josh, inhaling his lower lip and still finding her way to closing that elusive door. Well done!
Wonderfully done, i love West Wing SOOOOO MUCH. Let’s all take a moment to appreciate one of the best original scores ever made… and NOT MADE by one of the heavy hitters in hollywood (a la Zimmer, Newman, Horner, etc). Craig Armstrong’s Love Actually score is simply wonderful!
Such a lovely tribute! I never watched the west wing when it was on only discovered it on Netflix a few months ago and binge watched all 7 seasons. I couldn’t image watching all those seasons and being annoyed try didn’t get together til the end.
Tiffany Bevis But that was the whole idea, keep teasing their get together, a mild distraction from the dialogue, bring it together on the campaign,.... perfect. Late, ... but perfect.
I echo what vegabondstu said. West Wing is my all time fav series, Love Actually my all time fav film, so thanks very much indeed for putting the two together so beautifully.
What a truly lovely video. Josh and Donna were "the" couple before they ever became a couple. You have picked the best and most important moments and set them to a great score. Job well done. (I know it's been said a billion times, but is there ANY line better than "red lights"?)
jesus, that was perfect. Damn I have been waiting 7 years for that, so good to see it finally and so amazingly summed up. Cheers, really. An amazing video.
You almost expect Don LaFontaine's voice to come on and announce a continuation of one of the greatest love stories. Great editing and music to accompany the vid! I swear it's a trailer for a movie about Josh and Donna and their life together after the WH. Job well done!
What can I say? This is absolutely brilliant. Hands down the best Josh/Donna video out there. I love that you didnt drown out their script with a song/music. I love that you left all that great banter between them in the video - after all that was one of the best things in the Josh/Donna relationship. If you have any more/know of any other videos about Josh/Donna that are in this format let me know! I couldnt rate this video any higher!
Josh et Donna: le meilleur couple de la télé! Leur ship est irrésistible et il nous prend d'autant plus qu'on met du temps à s'apercevoir de son importance, mais ensuite on jure autant par lui que par Matt Santos... J'adore leur amour, j'adore leur intelligence, j'adore leurs maladresses, j'adore d'une manière globale le personnage de Josh qui a, comme le dit ce remarquable clip, enfin su donner une chance à l'amour _avec un grand merci à l'amitié (cher Sam...)_: ils se sont mérités, lui comme elle, et ont mérité leur bonheur...
Excellent job! When Donna left Josh to work for that evil Bob, I was heartbroken...is it over? Amazingly, she came back as a new woman with the same promise: if you were in an accident, I will not stop for red lights. Thanks!
I feel like such a sap. This video gives me the warm fuzzys. I was so in love with Donna. You can't not love her. I'm so glad Josh chose her instead of Amy. "If you were in a car accident I wouldn't stop for red lights."
My favourite show, my favourite couple, and my favourite score. And the sound is edited well, and its truly a very understated, classy edit. Really very well done.
Thanks for this video. I have an Instagram fan account about the West Wing called @thewestwing_tvshow so being a pretty huge fan I really enjoy watching this 👏🏻❤️ Also Jonna is like my fav tv couple ever. There’s no word to describe how much I love them 😭❤️
Nice editing job and good choice of music! That's a hard story to tell in less than 10 minutes. I would have given the scene where the go away together more time, but that is NOT a criticism.
@Emily1993yesh she was applying for a job to work for him again but he said he couldn't hire her because of the things she said about Santos in the past. It was his way of saying he wasn't getting back at her because she left him before. Although, personally, i think it could have been a bit of both. I hope that makes sense now....I does in my head! Lol
I had mixed feelings about the whole Josh & Donna romance, especially since it only fully materialized in non-Sorkin episodes. Although, I have to admit, this video by far outshines all other Josh & Donna videos on youtube.
Technosquid sorkin I think said he based the banter of josh and Donna on him and his long time secretary and it wasn’t a romantic relationship and he is married but the actors had such chemistry together he years later said he regrets not doing for it while he was running the show.
They think they're being creative. Little do they know we can't hear what the actors are saying screw the music I wanna hear the actors&and the meaning of the scene.
"I'm just saying if you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for a beer." "If you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for ....." Stop for a what? Couldn't hear it!
The ultimate "will-they-or-won't-they". The "Love Actually" soundtrack was a nice touch.
"If you were in an accident I wouldn't stop for red lights" and "If you think I don't miss you everyday..." always get to me.

Plucked my strings a little why don’t ya. Only just completed series 7. Been watching it for years. So good.
seriously the best couple on tv. how many shows have two people who love each other so much and yet did not have an actual relationship till....6 damn seasons later!! arguably this relationship was something all west wing fans wanted FOR A VERY VERY VERY LONG TIME. and im glad i stuck with the show cause my prayers were answered:) awesome music video!
amazing. one of the best shows, cast, writing, and chemistry between actors.
It has literally been hailed as one of the greatest television shows ever made. and for all of those reasons TOGETHER.
UNIQUE!!
Talent of writing, creativity, acting, Chemistry, you name it.
You know what Josh, you should've bought the dress for her
I thought the same thing too.
One of the best romances in tv history
These two actors have so much chemistry, too bad they can't do another series again.
Why can’t they?
Well done, almost as beautiful as Jamie tracking down Aurelia and his proposal in broken Portuguese😊
How do they get into our souls, secret wishes and desires, you've captured them all in this amazing clip of Josh & Donna, if only they were real.
Lovingly done and wow what a production.
Made me cry; from an old man (76) who is still in love thank you; thank you; thank you, and the music, there is nothing to say.
Bring back the West Wing.

I'm actually new to the West Wing - and this video just made me love it even more! Still relevant after 13 years!!! Beautifully done.
So am I! They are my favorite couple on this show!
No kidding..I rolled my eyes when i saw what this was. Because I figured it couldn't do the couple justice...but it really was amazing. Man I love them so much, and you told the story well. Thank you

How did it take Josh 145 episodes to figure out that he loved this woman?
Fear. He had such a strong bond with Donna that he feared losing that if he tried to move beyond friendship. Ultimately Donna is the stronger half of this relationship and Josh for all his bravado and apparent self-confidence simply cannot cope without her. It shows up most strongly when she's hurt in Gaza and again when he's campaigning with Matt Santos and Donna works for Bob Russell. His pride gets in the way for a while too.

It's a brilliantly written and paced TV romance, still easily the best I've ever seen. Both Actors play it perfectly as well.
MrPeterpiper1969 Hello from 2020, this is an excellent comment; I would read a thesis-length continuation of it.
I think the point was it didn’t. He knew pretty much from the start. But the risk of him screwing up and the work relation going up in flames held him back.
I always assumed that he knew he was attracted to Donna from the start but he was so consumed trying to do the right thing by Leo, the President and bizarrely even by Donna, that he didn't take the risk. It's no mistake that it wasn't until they both left the White House to get together. And why Josh struggled to work out what Donna could do in the new administration - he didn't want to be every stereotype of a sleazy boss.
He knew it way earlier, but typically ran the other way.
Favourite show ever, favourite couple ever. Fantastic job! :-)
The BEST Donna and Josh video, thank you! I loved every minute. 💙 And set to the music from one of my very favorite movies, Love Actually. I watch it every year, usually at Christmas time!

I LOVE this video. I play it to make me smile. Love Josh and Donna, love the West Wing. Thanks to Lauren for making it.
Love Donna as the ultimate multi-tasker at 6:32, aligning her hips with Josh, inhaling his lower lip and still finding her way to closing that elusive door. Well done!
I did the whole squeaky cheering thing throughout the whole video, amazing!

most amazing edit job ive seen. loved it. your best decision was using an instrumental piece and leaving the dialogue. Perfect. well done!
Excellent job!
When Donna left Josh to work for that evil Bob, I was heartbroken...is it over? Amazingly, she came back as a new woman with the same promise: if you were in an accident, I will not stop for red lights.
Thanks!
I miss them so. I miss them all so much...
I feel like such a sap. This video gives me the warm fuzzys. I was so in love with Donna. You can't not love her. I'm so glad Josh chose her instead of Amy.
"If you were in a car accident I wouldn't stop for red lights."
Thank you!
the love story between them would have made a great movie
amazing video :)
My favourite show, my favourite couple, and my favourite score. And the sound is edited well, and its truly a very understated, classy edit.
Really very well done.
Bawling. This was so freaking epic. The song with the edits. :sigh: Freaking beautiful.
This makes me miss TWW so much. But its an amazing video!
That was cool. Really cool.
!!!!
Absolutely beautiful! Your choice of music was perfect to show the progression of their relationship. Well done!
Same. It's my favourite part between Donna and Josh.
Time to reboot The West Wing with Josh and Donna as President and First Lady.
Thanks for this video. I have an Instagram fan account about the West Wing called @thewestwing_tvshow so being a pretty huge fan I really enjoy watching this 👏🏻❤️
Also Jonna is like my fav tv couple ever. There’s no word to describe how much I love them 😭❤️
Excellent well done I thought Donna was lovely.
Josh and Donna are a couple of who to people who work together and fall in love should be
wow just bloody wow
best montage
Nice editing job and good choice of music! That's a hard story to tell in less than 10 minutes. I would have given the scene where the go away together more time, but that is NOT a criticism.
Great video! I miss The West Wing! And I agree with you 1982pencil.
really good *thumbs up*

2.15 is from Inauguration Over There. Season 4 episode 15.
@Emily1993yesh she was applying for a job to work for him again but he said he couldn't hire her because of the things she said about Santos in the past. It was his way of saying he wasn't getting back at her because she left him before.
Although, personally, i think it could have been a bit of both.
I hope that makes sense now....I does in my head! Lol
Me too. ♥
The music, which by itself is treacly and overblown, covers up the dialog towards the end.
He loved her at first site. What took him so long?
They were in love when he took off his credentials and put them around her neck, we knew it. It just took them a while to catch up.
That's exactly right.😊
I had mixed feelings about the whole Josh & Donna romance, especially since it only fully materialized in non-Sorkin episodes. Although, I have to admit, this video by far outshines all other Josh & Donna videos on youtube.

@@tiff63078Josh wasn't married
thanks a lot. any chance you can write which episodes these scenes are taken from?
Music waaaaaaay too loud. Ruins the video.
They think they're being creative. Little do they know we can't hear what the actors are saying screw the music I wanna hear the actors&and the meaning of the scene.
Does anyone know from which episode the conversation between Amy and Donna about Josh appears? Thanks!
"You have terrible taste in men." - oh Josh, that's going to come back to bite you in the ass.
"I'm just saying if you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for a beer."
"If you were in an accident, I wouldn't stop for ....." Stop for a what? Couldn't hear it!
"for red light" :)
"Red lights." She wouldn't stop for red lights. Better late than never.
Love it! What episdoe is 3:23 from?
Boy, I hope nobody answered that. The wondering is everything. Enjoy the ride.
When he dropped everything to go to her after the terrorist attack
What's the name of the first song you used for the background? Oh Josh and Donna - took 'em long enough!!
