Reid Scott: Veep wouldn't get off the ground today because of real world insanity
-
"I don’t know that a show like Veep would get off the ground today because I think it almost relied on the contrast,” Scott told Buzzfeed News' Twitter morning show AM to DM. “When Obama was in office, things were, in my opinion, a little more peaceful and calm, and so the show was showing you how the sausage was made and how these people were despicable and how it was all manic and crazy, and you needed that contrast in order to get the satire. Now, you just turn on the news and you see how manic and crazy and despicable everybody is.”
