Colbert to host "Veep" cast reunion table read of famous episode at WisDems event
SalonThe cast of HBO's Emmy-award winning "Veep" is set to reunite for a table reading of one of the political comedy's most iconic episodes, in which Julia Louis-Dreyfus' character Selina Meyer learns she will be the next president of the United States. As noted by The Hollywood Reporter, the scene — “Crate,” which aired in the show's third season in 2014 — has seen heavy circulation since President Joe Biden bowed out of the presidential race, paving the way for Vice President Kamala Harris to claim the Democratic ticket. “We’re thrilled to team up with the incomparable Julia Louis-Dreyfus and the cast of 'Veep' to deliver this year’s unforgettable and hilarious live virtual WisDems event, this time hosted by the one and only Stephen Colbert,” Wikler said. But back when we were making 'Veep,' that seemed insane and over the top," Louis-Dreyfus quipped to The Hollywood Reporter, referencing one of former president Donald Trump's debate talking points.
