West Wing - Blame it on the Bossa Nova

[MrJosephMorris]

1:05 Haha

[RMR667]

Ainsley, the only character on The West Wing who was not insufferably arrogant, smug and repulsive. Interestingly, the only Republican too - in the first season or two anyway.

[bighurshal]

She is ,, wow

[msjessypp]

brilliant video

[bobby95117]

I think she would be great at being a sex kitten.

[2707khaled]

cette femme je l'aime????????????????????

[robinleander]

what season is this in??

[theshd]

keep up the good work!

[GeekLikeMe1988]

First time I saw this I couldn't stop laughing. It's funny enough with her dancing and when I saw The President in the backround I thought "Oh god, this is going to be good". It's hard to pick which set me off laughing more; her scream or his "What's up?" :)

[thewaitingape]

"Whats up?" Jeb Bartlett in 2012!!

[Buzzbar94]

Her scream is priceless. I loved Ainsley on the show and she was an amazing character. I would have loved to see more of her, but I guess that Emily had other commitments. Anywho... enough of a rant, either way, hilarious clip. As are all of her clips on this show.

[Tigerman1138]

@Buzzbar94 I LOL'ed so hard I am sure I woke my neighbors! I had forgotten JUST HOW FUNNY this scene was! The scream was amazing. I remember seeing this when it broadcast... I loved the follow up when Ainsley is in the closet and the president remarks she can pee in there, but he can't smoke in his office (I think).

[JFLD8]

what is that ainsley is drinking?

[gjm1953]

@JFLD8 It's called a Pink Squirrel. One ounce each of Creme de Noyaux, White Creme de Cacao and heavy cream, shaken over ice or blended.

[QaranTV]

"Mr. President, I don't believe you've met Ainsley Hayes"

That's the best bit hahahahah

[TheRock2004]

just imagine what would happen if that was Bill Clinton that walked in on her. 

[Tigerman1138]

@TheRock2004 DUDE! Messed up, funny, but messed up. :)

[Electrode46]

Did you ever watch an "I Love Lucy" episode that made you laugh so hard you almost peed yourself? This clip makes me laugh that hard.

[KatelynSpencerMines]

I love this scene!!!! :)



[jimbopumbapigsticks]

Ainsley Hayes was the funniest character on a show that had the best characters on TV.

[jokr8790]

"Look you guys...really, there's a wet paint sign on the bench."

[pulidogs]

I forgot about this scene...LOVE IT!

[Reqrezentin]

A faamiiilyyyyyyyyyy

I love that bit

[kohstamojahn]

Ginger is absoLUTELY the best assistant EVER! (sorry Donna)

[dazmondo69]

i crack up so bad everytime i see bartlet just walk in and just say... what's up?

[scaryplague]

She is so fucking perky it kills me. Despite the whole being a republican thing I'm just immensely attracted to the cutey.

[stringerboi]

thats the thing- shes intelligent aND goofy

[lemmor6791civ]

Ainsley, Joey and Amy were few of the characters that were great in that show... too bad they never were regulars...

[KapriciousT]

Oh... I just want to hold her at the end of this clip. (Of course I want to dance with her at the beginning.)

[lorrainelancaster]

1 person is Ainsley Hayes.

[xmaxyne]

Does anyone know which version of the song this is? Haha I want to buy it.

[gjm1953]

@xmaxyne I'm pretty sure it's Eydie Gorme. But I could be wrong.

[kob7890]

@xmaxyne Its Annette Funicello .. its definitely NOT Eydie Gorme

[gjm1953]

@kob7890 I'm pretty sure it IS Eydie Gorme, kob. I owned this album (on vinyl no less!) and that's Eydie Gorme singing.

[GalazanCat]

XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD­DDDDDDDDDDDDDD

[brontewcat]

Another one of my favourites from WW along with Ainsley putting Sam in his place on TV. Poor Ainsley

[ImperatorDominus]

I have never seen a more sexy white girl, if I ever get married to one I hope she's as goofy as she is, Im always so serious...

[jillhbaudhaan]

her incessant blinking at the end is hilarious

[trickmastermonkey]

blonde Republican sex kitten

[ImperatorDominus]

I like how the President came creeping up like that.

[ColRangerFontana]

Best 7 years on TV!



[Cederfjard]

Seriously, I keep watching this over and over.

[Cederfjard]

I just got the biggest crush.

[doubleg137]

Her scream at the sight of the president is just so damn funny...

[LeighMet]

dance and blame it on the bossanova and this is not a night club

[JessieDeelight]

I love Ainsley Hayes!

Also,I've noticed that all West Wing fans type in good English with good grammar.Well done all.

[ImperatorDominus]

@JessieDeelight Didn't you know; we are all elitist libels here.

[ashvinamarie]

@ImperatorDominus Haha, well said, my boy!

[jokr8790]

"I didn't even know we had a night club down here."

[TheShadowsOfEternity]

LMAO!!

Emliy Procter is sooo adorable

ANd I mean that in the best way considering I am only 13 hahah

But I wanna wtach this show xD

I keep watching and laughing!!

[Inganotodden]

That secretary in the beginning is hhhhhhhoth.

[Reqrezentin]

"ahhhhhhhh"

"What's up"

lololololol

[ifyoufilmmeiwillkilu]

thumbs up if you love the way Bartlet says , "What's up?"

[1dschamp]

Please take the robe off

[jjdubs]

Sam and Ainsley started out as adversaries and ended up being really good friends. I too wish she had become a regular. 

[derekmok]

Martin Sheen is great at understated comedic reactions.

[TSkchryszxthal95]

Emily is such a cute dancer...this is entertaining and funny hehehe

[PinkSky400]

i really like emily procter in csi:miami!!

[rosalynanna]

My favourite WW scene! :) Thanks for uploading.

[justcuzzie4]

I LOVE the President's "What's up?" This whole scene always makes me crack up!

[sexsomnia20]

blame it on the bossa nova

[auriciangelescu]

"a lot of prople assume you were hired because you're a blond republican sex kitten...and they are obviously wrong" hahahaha!

[mjspreacher]

I just noticed Ainsley's eyebrows at 1:45, just as Sam is trying to make her feel better by saying it could have been worse. It's like she is desperate for any way out of her humiliation. Beautiful comedy!

[Ethmae]

Heh, I always loved this scene from this episode. I love the part where Sam is trying not to look at Ainsley while the President's talking, but looks up suddenly when Bartlet uses the 'blonde Republican sex-kitten' line he threw off as an obvious joke earlier. Like he's thinking, 'Oh my God, I can't believe the President used that line to her.'

[PghBuick]

This is DEFINITELY the Annette Funicello version and NOT Eydie Gorme singing the song. Listen to them both, then listen to his clip. You'll hear the difference and know that this is Annette.

[ameroux]

You're too right. No way is that Eydie Gorme.

[soxmass]

In the same episode there is a scene with Ainsley and Sam, between segments of Capitol Beat. Sam's parting words, "Remember you're a blonde, Republican girl, and nobody likes you." Priceless.

[mariahsupial1627]

"she needs to meet you in her office."

"...why?"

"she can't wear her pants."

[BossZula]

I could just imagine Emily Procter in Law and Order Criminal Intent, I could just see it! :3

[ksellmer]

I didn't even know we had a nightclub down here. LOL! LOVE IT!

[tyruk]

Sam would have got something here had his boss not intervened. Lol.

[jayjames5]

"That could have been worse, no probably not" LOL

[iansocawarrior]

Wow, Americans really can't handle their liquor...

[TehCheese]

Completely agree, have you ever seen Tommy Tiernans bit on "how many beers you gonna have tonight Tommy?"

[MithraisAugustus]

I liked "blond republican sex kitten".

[browncello]

The shriek at 1:08 is priceless! And the President... "I never knew we had a nightclub down here..." Priceless.

[classrockin]

I have heard that Emily fronts a band that covers all kinds of songs. Would love to hear her, but can't find her singing anywhere. Anyone know?

[WillBraden]

Emily Proctor was SO good in these few scenes when she first started...playing competent and smart, all the while awkward and nervous, is damn hard. these few scenes were some of the best of the West Wing, and it was because of her...

[fishdude77]

i wish they would have made her a series regular she was awesome.

[BetaArtemis]

Too bad CSI:Miami snatched her away....

Emily would have made an excellent regular on the West Wing!

[lvhmsgirl96]

emily is so funny

[heavenlee1993]

awh, thats so sad...she worked so hard and when she finally has the chance to show the president how smart she is...she is singing and dancing in a bathrobe having a drink.....she looked like she was g2 cry in the end

[moochielovescsi]

when was the show filmed ?

[TheSlimViper]

This was probably filmed in late 2000 or early 2001.

[wikum3]

I love how bartlet's just being nice, and sam told him to say that phrase - "people assumed you were a blonde republican sex kitten, and they're obviously wrong" but obviously being in that situation, Hayes reads it as sarcasm!

[Zen0Ph0bus]

i was just thinking the same thing haha... when I first saw the scene, I'm like - oh man, I hope Bartlett doesn't use the line Sam gave him now - but he did

[sherman4970]

OOF,,,I just want to jump her right there!!!

[ksol1460]

* 1 oz Creme de Noyaux (almond-flavored apricot liqueur - this is the pink stuff) * 1 tbsp white Creme de Cacao (chocolate bean liqueur) * 1 tbsp light cream.

Shake all ingredients with ice, strain into a cocktail glass. She's got a lot more than an ounce there. Jay

[Soujurn]

"I didn't even know we had a nightclub down here."

Positively one of the best lines from the entire series!

[grumpytosnowwhite]

This whole subplot was hilarious--I loved the scene before:

Leo: "So, how are you?"

Ainsley: "I'm concerned about peeing on your carpet."

Leo: "Well, now I am too."

[ynkeehtlfxtrt]

Does anyone know who sings this version of the song, I know the best known one is by Edie something or other but it sounds different.

[DYWK]

Annette Funicello

I think.

[ksol1460]

Eydie Gorme.

[indira66s]

It is so funny xD

Emily is so cool

[miniCSI]

I CRACK UP laughing every time i see this video. Emily is amazing in it! She pulled it off so well! Now if only she would do something like this on CSI Miami...

[snowyMaru]

lol i remember this episode!!! totally funny!

Cracks me up everytime she flings the glass!!!

'AHHHH' So high pitched hehe...

Emily P ur awesome:)

[donhagen2121]

and of course Bartlet responding with a dry "whats up" doesnt hurt either

[JackieG0630]

Haha and he gives the whole "Guy Head Nod" along with it...like this happens every day in the West Wing basement. LOL

[EmilyProcter0891]

HAHHA, Emily!!! xD <3

[csifann2]

Haha very funny!

She sings and dance very well!!

=DD

[lox3csimiami22]

Haha!! She's so funny!

haha!!!

[calleighDfan]

hahaha she is hilarious i love her so much!!

[miami1ramona]

Wow. Emily is hilarious!

[sinhasinha]

"...blonde republican sex kitten... and they were obviosuly wrong."

HAHAHAHAHA

[lisa953sd]

OMG, I love it so much !!

She's so funny , I can't stop laughing !!

[ChicciHanna]

XDD hahah

[SoMuchBetter44]

This is hilarious! I love her on CSI: Miami so to see her in this crazy scene is so funny! She actually has a pretty good voice, too, considering that she's dancing and acting drunk and is still on key. :D

[csifann1]

This is so hilarious!!!!

It cracks me up xD

Love the 'ahhhhhhh' part LMAO

[laniki27]

que linda, me encanta emily y su personaje calleigh

[JackieG0630]

Believe it or not, Emily is actually part of an 80s cover band! LOL I always wanted to hear what she sounds like when she does that...

[martinithegr8]

This is probably in my top 10 scenes... and top 3 comedic... just after the "fish and joey lucas" and the whole "lemonylyman" thing...

[Shubbimama]

Hey, does someone know which "Blame it on the bossa nova"-version this is? I mean, who sings it?

[skedular]

Eydie Gormé...from way back in 1963!

[squinn1201]

I had this funny thought in my mind of Calleigh dancing around in the same way!

[JackieG0630]

I was just gonna say the same thing! I would totally pay a CSI:Miami writer like half my life to see a scene like this!

[hyretech]

No fair crushing my "west wing" bubble with vampire imagery

[EmilyProcterUNDbvb09]

Soooooooooooooooo sweet =) (=

[bestirishfirefighter]

I never even knew we had a nightclub down here!

Classic!

[gigz888]

Oh my gosh - she's hilarious! Those two should have gotten together - they were so adorable.

[soccergril17]

I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT'S CALLEIGH DUQUESNE!!!! THAT CREEPS ME OUT!!! Like, if you look at her in this video, and then in her very recent photo-shoot with Adam R, they look SOOOOOO different!!

[delkolver2]

lol shes so funny

[Mellischatzi3]

what episode was that???

it´s really funny...

[ksol1460]

It's called Bartlet's Third State of the Union and that's what it's about; it went really well, CJ, Ainsley and others were interviewed on TV, and Sam told Ainsley to watch out for adrenaline highs and not to drink until later. That's the setup. Plus the fact Ainsley has never actually met The President despite working for him...

[beanieboy007]

1:07 Wait for it,....

"Probably not."

I was sad when she left WW, but it got me started on CSI:Miami.

[delkolver2]

LOL!!god it was so funny when she screamed

[csimiami810]

totally agree!!!!!!!!!

love her so much

[moviegal6000]

look at that hair!! :-)

[doubleg137]

I love the scream.. just classic. LOL!!

[phreakoutaston]

"blonde Republican sex kitten..."

lol!

[emilyp1fan]

that is hilarious! and em's cute little accent was the icing on the cake! ha...she's so funny!

[joris1958]

This really is terribly funny!

[sara09890]

this is way too funny XD emily is the greatest!!

[littleplasticcastle]

I love the "What's up?"! That is an awesome reaction by the President of the United States!

[jesslufssam]

i love emily procter not in a lesbian way

but she is so funny especially when she screamed lol

x

[Anna433]

haha this is funny

:]

emily looks really young here!

i watch csi miami

[coramatrix]

Oh my god love it she is hott, in a non-lesbian way!!!!!

[mlc2005]

"in a non-lesbian way" come on people.

[coramatrix]

What? I said in a non-lesbian way whats wrong with that?

[coramatrix]

We sang this song at school 2 day and our teacher sang it

[elffied]

I used 2 sing it @ school 2.

[coramatrix]

Haha i'm gonna e-mail this to Zoe she is going to love it!! Its is so funny

[marleelee]

did that lady say that she cant fid her pants or she cant wear her pants.

[gooner01]

can't wear her pants. she sat on wet paint in the sculpture gardens - CJ did the same :)

[taloolamay]

LOL

and she has to do a tv interview without pants haha!

is that clip on youtube anywhere? it's hysterical

[anistonfan]

That is so so fun!! Oh My God she's damn good!

[renimar]

This is a fantastically funny first meeting with the President. How often would you hear the phrases, 'blonde Republican sex kitten' and 'keep up the good work' in the same sentence? Ha!

[cathsarafanatic]

OMG! I had this favourited AGES ago, and then it was gone :o I love this SO much! Thanks for putting it up :)

[bulletgirl991]
