Veep‘s notoriously bumbling politician Selina Meyer has gone on to greener pastures, but the actor who played her for seven unforgettable seasons is reviving her, sort of, in support of another famous Veep, Joe Biden.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus, who won six Oustanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Emmys for her portrayal of the perpetually behind-the-eight-ball politico, announced on Twitter Saturday a virtual Veep reunion in support of the Democratic Party of Wisconsin. That state, she explained in a short video, is crucial for Donald Trump to win the presidential election, so the cast is reuniting to raise funds in order to assist the Democrats in ensuring Trump’s defeat there.
I’m SO excited to announce that we’re doing a #VeepReunion on Oct 4 with @AnnaChlumsky, @Mrreidscott, @SamRichardson, @MrTonyHale, @CleaDuvall, @MrMattWalsh, @DavidHMandel and more!
