Armando Iannucci Vice President Not only is it one of the best, funniest, and smartest shows HBO has ever made, it’s one of the best, funniest, and smartest shows to ever grace the small screen, regardless of network. And now that Kamala Harris has transitioned from vice president to presidential candidate, the show’s viewership has skyrocketed. This week, Julia Louis-Dreyfus sat down with Stephen Colbert on his show The Voice. The Late Show with Stephen Colbert To discuss the renewed interest in the show and recent comparisons between Vice President And the current elections.
Colbert said that Vice President“The Last Day” viewership has increased by 350%. Louis-Dreyfus called that “awesome,” but she also wanted to address part of the reason behind the recent spike. Namely, the fact that Selina Meyer and Kamala Harris are very different people.
Let me be clear: In Veep, I played a narcissistic, paranoid psychopath, and that character is not Kamala Harris. It could be another candidate in the race.
Vice President
5/5
Former Senator Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) has accepted the call to serve as Vice President of the United States. The job is not what she imagined or what she warned would happen. Veep follows Meyer and her staff as they try to make a lasting mark and legacy, without getting bogged down in the daily political games that define Washington. Meyer’s inner circle includes her chief of staff Amy (Anna Chlumsky), longtime press secretary Mike McClintock (Matt Walsh), right-hand man and point man Gary (Tony Hale) and secretary Sue (Soph Bradshaw), who often do battle with the ambitious interloper Dan Egan (Reid Scott) and the cocky White House liaison Jonah (Tim Simmons).

So, Louis Dreyfus knows which Vice President a personality not so Reminds us of a current political figure. But what about rural elegy Was it author and Donald Trump’s running mate J.D. Vance? Louis-Dreyfus had an immediate answer:
This is Jonah Ryan. I'm sure he's made love to many couches.
Interestingly, the show took a cue from the rise of Trump and gave this story to Jonah. So, in a way, it’s Trump and Vance. Colbert then asked Jonathan: Seinfeld Star to name her favorite scene from Vice President – Not only in general, but also in a way that is closely related to the additional difficulties women face in politics. Louis-Dreyfus chose a scene shared between Meyer and Mike McClintock, the White House press secretary played by Matt Walsh.
He came to me with his speech, and he started it with, “As a woman.” And I looked at him and I said, “First of all, as a woman, I’m not going to start my speech with, ‘As a woman,’ because I can’t identify as a woman. Men hate it, and women who hate women hate it, and that’s true of most women.”
