Note: This is not a complete list of West Wing |
Toby is the only member of the West Wing staff other than Leo to have been with Bartlet since the beginning of his first campaign for the presidency.
On the night that Josh came to see Bartlet speak in New Hampshire, Leo fired everyone on Bartlet's staff except for Toby. A bemused and somewhat drunken Toby, who had himself been expecting to be fired, was told by Leo "Don't screw up."
Toby is a troubled man, perhaps because his father worked for Murder Incorporated, perhaps because of his service during the Vietman War . Often ill-tempered, he is cynical and sarcastic, but passionate about his job and a brilliant speechwriter .
Toby's ex-wife, Andrea Wyatt, is a U.S. Congresswoman from Maryland. During the fourth season, it was revealed that Toby and his ex-wife had conceived twins together. His ex-wife is later sued by a right wing group on grounds that her nondisclosure of her pregnancy during her campaign for re-election constituted election fraud.
