The on-air charm and chemistry Casey and Dan exude is easy to pull off for the two because they are also best friends off-camera. They are surrounded by a team of co-workers, and their face-pace, intelligence, humor, and opinions help make the behind-the-scenes as entertaining as the nightly show itself.

  Casey finds himself as a recent divorcee, and he is quite unsure about beginning his new life as a single father. The charming Dan wants to reintroduce Casey to the positive aspects of life and all it has to offer.

  Dana Whitaker, "Sports Night"'s executive producer and Casey's college friend, cares and is concerned about Casey's recent ordeal, but she needs him to be able to separate his personal and professional lives because his on-air personality has been bringing down the show. She needs to see improvement because she needs to answer to her boss, Isaac Jaffee. As the show's managing editor, Isaac is tough on his staff, but he believes in his team and he'll vehemently defend his team against the network executives.

  Natalie Hurley is the show's senior associate producer, a position she has risen to quickly considering her young age. She encourages the hiring of a new associate - one with which she initially becomes enamored - producer and research analyst, Jeremy Goodwin. Jeremy's dream job is to work for "Sports Night," but he is nervous and fearful about not being able to fit in with the rest of the staff.

  The show's director, Dave, along with two technicians, Chris and Will, and production associates, Kim and Elliot, help round out the heart of the staff and are critical in putting the nightly show together.

  In covering sports, where people are judged by wins and losses, the people at "Sports Night" will celebrate their victories and console each other through their defeats. The one consistency is they remain committed together as a team as they tackle life's daily ordeals and the stiff competition involved with cable sports television.

  The critically-acclaimed and award-winning "Sports Night" was created by Aaron Sorkin, who also created the hit television series, "The West Wing," the award-winning play and movie, "A Few Good Men," and the celebrated films, "The American President" and "Malice." Brian Grazer, Ron Howard and Tony Krantz, co-chairmen of Imagine Television, served as executive producers to the show. Thomas Schlamme ("The West Wing" and "ER") and Rob Scheidlinger ("Cousin Bette") were also executive producers.

  "Sports Night" is from Imagine Television in association with Touchstone Television. The show initially ran on ABC, and it premiered on September 22, 1998, and ended its run on May, 16, 2000. The episodes of "Sports Night" are currently being rerun on Comedy Central.
