Daniel "Danny" Concannon was the White House Correspondent for the Washington Post.
Biography
Danny is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist who has been a White House Correspondent under three administrations and has covered the White House for the New York Times, the Washington Post and the Dallas Morning News. He is acknowledged by the White House Press Corps as the Bartlet administration's favorite reporter, and the correspondent most likely to be given an exclusive with the press secretary, the President, or one of the Senior Staff. Danny was the correspondent who was the most steadfastly supportive of the Bartlet administration, and he appeared to have a good friendship with President Josiah Bartlet, Leo McGarry, Charlie Young and Josh Lyman as well.
Danny won the Pulitzer Prize for journalism and, like the President, was a graduate of University of Notre Dame.
He had a long-standing on-again/off-again romance with White House Press Secretary turned White House Chief of Staff, C.J. Cregg. The most famous moment of their relationship is the fact that he purchased the goldfish Gail for CJ during season one. The fish is seen on her desk for the rest of the series.
After President Bartlet left the White House, Danny and C.J. rekindled their romantic relationship, moved to Santa Monica, California, and had a baby.
