The West Wing faux trailer 

The West Wing reunion was announced in September wherein the cast of the show would reunite to support When We All Vote, a non-profit, nonpartisan organisation co-chaired by Michelle Obama. On the occasion of the reunion taking place, the CBS talk show, A Late Night Show, and its host Stephen Colbert remade the trailer of the classic drama The West Wing. They reimagined how life would have been in the NBC series during the Donald Trump Administration. The faux trailer of The West Wing is focused on how the world is affected by the Coronavirus pandemic. 

The West Wing trailer made by Stephen has replaced the original cast of Martin Sheen, Allison Janney, Richard Schiff, and Bradley Whitford. They have been replaced with administration players like Kayleigh McEnany and Stephen Miller. Kayleigh McEnany is originally the White House Press Secretary and Stephen Miller is the senior adviser to President Donald Trump. In the video, they're shown playing similar roles in the credit scene along with Hope Hicks as a senior adviser. Melania Trump is shown as the first lady and Donald Trump is shown as the Coronavirus-in-Chief which is hilarious. The credits also add that the show is created by willful stupidity to add humour.
