After Janney said she was filling in for White House press secretary Josh Earnest, the room filled with laughs as she went back into her C.J. Cregg character.
But it turned out Janney was there for a serious cause. She came with Chick Lorre, executive producer on her current show, "Mom," to honor 10 individuals from across the country with the White House Champions of Change honor for their leadership in preventing prescription drug abuse and heroin use in the country.
In "Mom," which airs on CBS, Janney and costar Anna Faris play characters who are recovering addicts.
