The West Wing: Matthew Perry’s Joe Quincy Was Wasted On The Show

Matthew Perry impressed with his brief stint on NBC’s political drama The West Wing but the Matthew Perry West Wing character was totally underused. The West Wing had a lot of great characters come and go after just one season or a handful of episodes. In fact, it was such a common thing that the trend even had its own name in The West Wing fandom; “going to Mandyville.” This is a nod to the abrupt departure of Mandy Hampton (Moira Kelly) after season 1, with the term referring to West Wing characters whose tenure ended suddenly and without explanation.
