Let's take a moment to celebrate Julia Louis-Dreyfus
That makes it all the more funny to think that once upon a time there was such a thing as a “‘Seinfeld’ curse.” In the years that followed the 1998 series finale of “Seinfeld,” the show’s supporting cast all went on to star in their own series — to disappointing results. First came Michael Richards, whose “The Michael Richards Show” lasted nine episodes in 2000. Jason Alexander’s “Bob Patterson” aired just 10 episodes in 2001.
From the very beginning, “Veep” was an awards machine for Louis-Dreyfus. Even before the show began winning the comedy series Emmy , she was picking up the win for lead comedy actress. Louis-Dreyfus has taken home that top prize every year she’s been eligible as “Veep” lead, winning in 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017.
“Veep” returned to a world forever changed by the Trump presidency and, to some degree, found it hard to keep up with the real-life absurdity of what’s going on in the White House. But “Veep” was always more than just a political satire, it was a study of human nature — and how vicious it can be. Selina Meyer wasn’t supposed to be likable or competent , and Louis-Dreyfus excelled in portraying a believably egomaniacal and slightly sociopathic, yet vulnerable, figure.
