Inside the Veep virtual reunion that raised $500K (and counting) for the Biden campaign
?" — the showrunner shut it down:"We are not going to tell you. We're saving it just in case, for down the line. You never know when we’re going to be back and filming!”, Mandel can't imagine doing the show amid current times.
"Our best day doesn’t compare to the stuff this White House does on a regular hourly basis of incompetence and stupidity," he says."Two years later,But he does acknowledge that reuniting, digging through old scripts and working together again for Sunday's event has made everyone nostalgic."Everyone is missing everybody and everyone really misses the show. I think we all miss it maybe in a way that we don’t miss other things that we did and left," he says. When asked about any sort of televised reunion, he makes this plea:"Look, the show doesn’t exist with this guy in the White House. So, if people really want moreThe reunion opened with a pre-taped bit of Walsh reassuming the podium as his press secretary character Mike McLintock to explain the ground rules and warn of foul language ahead .As promised, highlights from the gathering included a cast-wide competition to deliver the best Jonah Ryan insult for the character played by Timothy Simons ; and an expletive-filled plea of electoral wisdom for Wisconsin voters from the duo of Congressman Roger Furlong and his aide Will . When announcing the reunion, Louis-Dreyfus had explained of the collective goal: "All roads to the White House go through the great state of Wisconsin. Trump can’t win reelection if he doesn’t win Wisconsin. So, the Democratic Party of Wisconsin has built an unprecedented voter mobilization operation and they need resources in these final days to deliver Wisconsin to Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Harris. The future of democracy is on the line, people, and that’s why the cast ofis getting together for a virtual reunion with some special guests, too. You don’t want to miss this.”star reiterated,"Wisconsin is going to be close, and it’s the best way to get Joe Biden in the White House." In 2016, Trump ended up winning the state by fewer than 23,000 votes. As for his favorite moment, Mandel is just happy the event ran successfully and smoothly, after a very-like and disastrous tech rehearsal the day before."The highlight of the night was hearing the totals at the end and the fact that it will keep going up. That was just awesome," he says of the money raised."It’s nice to be able to contribute. I’m doing everything I can here at the Mandel house. But there’s something really nice about being a part of something that could make a difference — and that half a million dollars in Wisconsin and people signing up to volunteer could do it."and, with a donation, gain access to an exclusive replay of the reunion.
