Who directed the episode "The Supremes"?
Answer
Jessica Yu
Answer
Jessica Yu
Jessica Yu directed “The Supremes.” The episode is the seventeenth installment of The West Wing’s fifth season and was written by Debora Cahn.
Yu’s direction helped shape an episode built around tense White House discussions about filling two Supreme Court vacancies. President Bartlet’s staff considers an unusual plan: pairing liberal judge Evelyn Baker Lang with conservative nominee Christopher Mulready rather than settling for a single centrist choice.
The episode originally aired on NBC on March 24, 2004. A common mix-up is confusing its director with Alex Graves, who directed the later season-seven episode “The Debate.” Lesli Linka Glatter and Laura Innes were also associated with The West Wing, but neither is the credited director of “The Supremes.”
