Television's top-rated show got one of its highest endorsements yet lastNovember, when President Jimmy Carter visited the set of "ER"to film a public service announcement with cast member Noah Wyle.

In an episode that aired in January 1998, Wyle's character, Dr. JohnCarter, treated a patient afflicted with Guinea worm, one of the diseasesThe Carter Center works to eradicate worldwide. The show gave the centerthe idea for the PSA.

More than 100 cast and crew members cheered President Carter when hearrived on the set, and Wyle escorted him to the "ER" trauma room,where they filmed the spot. The PSA aired Dec. 28 on TNT at the end of asyndicated episode of "ER" and again Jan. 28 locally on WXIA-TV.In addition, NBC crews filmed a behind-the-scenes documentary on the makingof the PSA, which aired on several entertainment news programs in November.

Michelle Riley, media relations coordinator for The Carter Center, saidshe plans to shop the PSA around to the top 10 or 12 television markets,hoping they will air the spot immediately following "ER," as bothWXIA and TNT did. She also said she will try to market the announcementabroad, as the show has a sizable international audience.

In the meantime, anyone interested in seeing the PSA or the news featureson its making may check out a VHS tape by contacting Riley at 404-420-5128.
