Veep is such a prescient political satire, its last season basically included gags about President Donald Trump before that was even a thing. Now that reality is too bizarre for serialized television, Veep is laying their story to rest.
Considering our current political climate, the existence of shows like Veep (in which the president is a total idiot) and House of Cards (in which the president is an evil murderer) is sort of perplexing. Do we really want to watch television shows that merely imagine how fucked up the presidential administration is…
In a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter, Veep showrunner David Mandel mentions an issue that a lot of TV shows dealing with politics have had to address: a few of their jokes were just a little too on the nose.
Veep, the funniest and most joyfully vulgar show on television, is returning for its sixth (!!) season next month, and I’d completely forgotten until seeing the hysterical trailer HBO dropped Monday afternoon.
Donald Trump has filed a suit in Nevada alleging that the Clark County registrar kept polls open for “two hours beyond closing time” on the last night of early voting, according to CNN correspondent Jim Sciutto. Aside from being a very obvious play to cut out Latinxs in a swing state, it is literally the plot of Veep.
A PSA from former president Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) from HBO’s Veep: Young people need to turn out to vote if they want their candidate to win. Had it not been for millennial apathy (and cold weather and general lack of support), Meyer might still be in the White House right now.
PHILADELPHIA — Because of traffic following President Obama’s speech at the Wells Fargo Arena, celebrity guests didn’t arrive at the red carpet of the Creative Coalition Gala featuring Fergie until nearly 1 a.m. The few attending reporters and photographers stared tiredly at each other while we waited, downing vodka…
If you are trying to win an Emmy, don’t think you can get away with anything, because apparently someone is always watching your ass for disqualifications.
If you’re at the point in the 2016 election cycle where you can no longer stomach the phoniness of Washington politics, then it’s definitely time for you to check out Veep’s Jonah Ryan. This Jolly Green Jizz Face is as real as a fictional character gets and he wants to be YOUR congressman!
In a life-changing development for me personally, People reported today that Sarah Palin will, God willing, soon be starring in a new reality television courtroom show. As the judge. Sarah Palin will be the judge. Take a moment to screw your heads back onto your bodies, we’ll wait.
The fifth season of Veep comes in the middle of an election year and why no it doesn’t at all resemble America’s real-life political hijinks. Picking up from last season’s finale, Selina Meyer and the crew deal with the aftermath of a tied election.
On HBO’s Veep, Amy Brookheimer (Anna Chlumsky) and Dan Egan (Reid Scott) have more in common than they have in opposition. Both are cutthroat, both are ambitious, and both are terribly, terribly attractive. So why can’t they just doooooo it already?
The White House Correspondents dinner—that bizarre annual ritual in which celebrities are smushed in between politicians to temporarily relieve Washington from its own bitter, bloated, halitosis-ridden reality—is tomorrow night, and in a spot-on video spoof for Vanity Fair, Veep star (and friend of Jezebel) Timothy…
Armando Iannucci—the genius wit behind such works as In the Loop, The Thick of It and The Armando Iannucci Shows—is stepping down as showrunner on HBO’s Veep, the brilliant, Julia Louis-Dreyfus-starring political comedy that he created in 2012. He will be replaced by Curb Your Enthusiasm’s David Mandel.
Tune into HBO’s political comedy Veep and you’ll find that there are few—if any—heroes. Set in in Washington, D.C. and, more specifically, the offices of Vice President Selina Meyer (played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus), the show’s cast of characters are as cut-throat as they are inept. But even in this world of selfish—and…
Last night during the Veep season 4 premiere party, COMEDY ANGEL Julia Louis-Dreyfus revealed a fun bit of trivia: the HBO series revolving around the staff of fictional president Selina Meyer shares a makeup artist—Barbara Lacy—with Hillary Clinton. And now that Clinton is probably running for president, Lacy will…
Veep is back April 12, and to whet your appetites, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has posted a brief promo clip of the upcoming season. As expected, just because she's the one true POTUS now, doesn't mean Selena Meyer and her team have gotten any more adequate at their jobs.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, a 53-year-old woman who is so hot and awesome that it almost seems unfair, stars in her very own photo spread in next month's issue of GQ wherein she fucks a clown.
Only two episodes into its third season, the brilliantly written and wonderfully acted Veep (starring Julia Louis-Dreyfus) is already tackling the highly politicized and ridiculous Washington abortion debate by proving the seemingly impossible — that abortion legislation and the tragic circus that surrounds it can…
Check out the new trailer for the third season of Veep, in which Selena Meyer gets the rundown of her potentially competent staff. Veep is back on HBO on April 6, and Operation: Lady POTUS is go!
