Trailer dropped earlier this week
I've been watching seasons 1-4 as a companion to this election season. Good times. Love this show.
quote:
In early 2013, Julia Louis-Dreyfus received what she considered the ultimate fan note.
"Dear Julia," it began, "Hope you get everything you want as Veep gun control, immigration and education reform." The letterhead read Hillary Clinton, Secretary of State.
For Louis-Dreyfus, it was more than flattery. Here was confirmation, at the highest level, of just how much her HBO comedy had won the respect of the finicky Beltway crowd.
Then, some two years later, Louis-Dreyfus would learn of a second document the note behind the note, as it were. This one, dated around the same time and unveiled as part of a batch of exposed Clinton emails, was from the secretary of state to her then-aide, Robert V. Russo.
"A friend wants me to sign something for Julia Lewis-Dreyfus for Veep. Any ideas?" Clinton wrote, her question (and mangling of the star's name) suggesting unfamiliarity with the series. Russo responded: "Let me brainstorm on this one/do some research. I confess I haven't seen the show!"

Great episode....hasn't missed a beat
Looking forward to a season with New Dad Mike
Lost it when Richard the western recount specialist showed up
quote:
"You have a doctorate?!" "Two. Constitutional law and veterinary medicine, which was my fallback"
quote:i think that was the same episode as my favorite Jonah and Richard scene when they interrupt Friday night drinks in the west wing:
Richard T. Splett. But he doesn't know why he said "T", his middle name is John.
