Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Veep is an HBO black comedy/satire about the various dysfunctional people in the office of ineffectual Vice President of the United States Selina Meyer, played by Julia Louis-Dreyfus (of Seinfeld and The New Adventures of Old Christine fame). Developed by Armando Iannucci, it is a long-awaited (five years!) American adaptation of The Thick of It and a Spiritual Successor to the American side of In the Loop. It keeps most of the biting satire of the originals, and although the swearing level is about the same, it would appear that American politicians and staffers prefer sarcasm to straight-up bollocking.Other members of the cast include Anna Chlumsky (Chief of Staff Amy Brookheimer), Tony Hale (Gary Walsh, personal assistant to the VP), Matt Walsh (Mike McLintock, Director of Communications), Sufe Bradshaw (Sue Wilson, executive assistant to the Vice President), Reid Scott (Dan Egan, Deputy Director of Communications), Timothy Simons (Jonah Ryan, White House Liaison to the VP), Kevin Dunn (Ben Cafferty, White House Chief of Staff), and Gary Cole (Kent Davison, White House senior strategist and polling adviser).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })The show premiered in 2012. The seventh and final season is set to air in 2019. | |

| Veep / int_b5b4b077 | comment |
The Ace: Senator Tom James in season 4. He is well spoken, caring, sociable amongst voters and has a disabled son who served in the military, hence why Selina picks him as VP for her 2012 ticket. However, he does have certain controversial personal views he keeps out of the public eye such as wanting to legalize all drugs, and not fully blaming victims of PTSD when they kill others. | |
