Aaron Sorkin, creator of the hit NBC political drama 'The West Wing ,' will step down as executive producer of the award-winning series this month at the end of the show's fourth season, the network and producers said on May 1, 2003. While the announcement came as a surprise to some, Sorkin had foreshadowed his own departure last spring when he said during an appearance on NBC's 'Today' show that the current season of 'West Wing' would probably be his last.
