On May 6, 2006, NBC Sports aired a special program before the Kentucky Derby that plagiarized two passages from "20 Hours in America Part II", specifically "everytime we think we've measured our capacity to meet a challenge, we look up and we are reminded that that capacity may well be limitless" Ironically, the feature followed a commercial for the last two episodes of The West Wing, which were aired by NBC. The freelance writer responsible for the content was fired. In the episode Sam Seaborn says, "Good writers borrow from other writers. Great writers steal from them outright."
