The West Wing / NBC
The pivotal episode will feature a "tension-packed" debate between presidential candidates Congressman Matt Santos (Jimmy Smits) and Senator Arnold Vinick (Alan Alda).
The move follows that of NBC comedy Will & Grace, which opened its final season last week with a live premiere. Like that series, The West Wing will telecast two versions: one for viewers on the East coast and one for those on the West.
The episode airs Sunday, November 6 at 8pm ET/PT.
