The star of the hit political comedy Veep said Tuesday night that the wacky events depicted in her show are not all that far removed from reality.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus told Time that her show, which frequently depicts her and her political circle in zany and embarrassing situations, isn’t “a parody”. Time has the details:
Consider that the current election has featured the Donald Trump highlight reel, including a public debate about the size of his hands; the most plausible female presidential candidate in history being impeded by email woes and a 74-year-old democratic socialist whose comedic doppelgänger is Larry David; and an underdog candidate traveling to the all-important state of Indiana and promptly calling the iron apparatus of the state’s beloved sport a basketball “ring”.
Yeah, Veep isn’t that unrealistic.
