HRISHI: Well, we're done with season six and as a result, we're done with Vice President Bob Russell. That was his last episode last episode. JOSH: That's right. But before we start season seven, we've got a bonus episode and we could think of no better way to honor Bingo Bob, and one of our other favorite shows about politics, than with a special episode on Veep with special guests Gary Cole who played VP Russell, of course, as well as Kent Davison on Veep and Veep's show runner: Dave Mandel. HRISHI: Veep is an amazing show and you should all be watching it or you should be done watching it now that the series is wrapped. If you don't know Veep has been nominated for a total of 59 Emmys and it won 17 of them. It just ended this past May and like The West Wing, it's going to be missed. But we were thrilled to get the chance to talk to Gary Cole and Dave Mandel. GARY: This is Gary Cole and I play Kent Davison on Veep and on West Wing, known as Bingo Bob. What was his last name? I don’t know [crosstalk] JOSH and HRISHI: [crosstalk] Russell GARY: Bob Russell JOSH: I love that you had to ask that. GARY: Yeah. I did.

The Case of The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS) by ELENA-DANIELA (DANA) NEACSU Dissertation Director: John V. Pavlik, Ph.D. For the last decade, The Daily Show with Jon Stewart (TDS ), a (Comedy Central) cable comedy show, has been increasingly seen as an informative, new, even revolutionary, form of journalism. A substantial body of literature appeared, adopting this view. On closer inspection, it became clear that this view was tenable only in specific circumstances. It assumed that the comedic structure of the show, TDS ’ primary text, promoted cognitive polysemy, a textual ambiguity which encouraged critical inquiry, and that TDS ’ audiences perceived it accordingly. As a result I analyzed, through a dual - encoding/decoding - analytical approach, whether TDS ’ comedic discourse educates and informs its audiences in a ii manner which encourages independent or critical reading of the news. Through a multilayered textual analysis of the primary and tertiary texts of the show, the research presented here asked, “How does TDS ’ comedic narrative (primary text) work as a vehicle of televised political news?” and “How does TDS ’ audience decode its text?” The research identified flaws in the existing literature and the limits inherent to any similar endeavors.

  • VEEP SEASON 6 Premiering Wednesdays from April 26 at 8.30Pm
    Media Release: Thursday, April 13 2017 VEEP SEASON 6 Premiering Wednesdays from April 26 at 8.30pm or stream instantly on Foxtel Play From Wednesday, April 26 at 8.30pm, Foxtel will present the sixth season of the HBO award-winning comedy series Veep starring Emmy® winner Julia Louis-Dreyfus as Selina Meyer, the former Vice President and onetime President, who looks to secure her legacy now that she’s out of office. The acclaimed comedy takes a sharp, satirical look at the insular world of politics, following the day-to-day existence of the former VP and onetime President Selina Meyer. Season 6 picks up one year after the events of Season 5, in which Selina ultimately lost a Senate vote to resolve the Electoral College tie. Now out of public office for the first time in years, Selina seeks to secure her legacy and find her place in the world, while much of her staff pursues endeavors of their own. A perennial favorite with fans and critics, this 10-episode season of Veep finds this band of misfits attempting to make their mark, while navigating the political landscape in Washington and beyond. Veep has received seven Golden Globe nominations since its debut in 2012, and has won a total of twelve Primetime Emmys®, including three 2016 Emmys® for Outstanding Comedy Series, Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series, and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series (Louis-Dreyfus). In addition to five Emmy® wins, Julia Louis-Dreyfus has also received four Golden Globe nominations for her role as Selina Meyer.

  • Hbo Premieres Second Season of Veep
    HBO PREMIERES SECOND SEASON OF VEEP Miami, April 4, 2013 – HBO Latin America will premiere the Emmy® nominated comedy series Veep on April 21st in the Caribbean. Coming back for a second season, the series stars Emmy® Award winner and Golden Globe® nominee Julia Louis-Dreyfus for her role as Selina Meyer, Vice President of the United States. Veep follows Meyer and her staff as they attempt to make their mark and leave a lasting legacy, without getting tripped up in the day-to-day political games that define Washington. Picking up in the middle of midterm elections, Season 2 finds Selina scoring slightly above-average ratings in several popularity polls, which she uses to increase her influence and to curry favor with the president and his new senior strategist Kent Davison (Gary Cole). But, as seen in the last season, even the most banal decision made by Selina and her staff can set off a ripple effect that can have unexpected and far-reaching consequences. Over the course of ten episodes, the new season of this series hilariously skewers the nuances of everyday office politics – set against the backdrop of the second highest office in the land. The show’s ensemble cast includes Tony Hale as Gary, Selina’s right-hand man; Anna Chlumsky as Amy, her chief of staff; Matt Walsh (HBO’s Hung) as Mike, Meyer’s weathered spokesperson; Reid Scott as Dan, an ambitious political aide; Timothy C. Simons as Jonah, a clueless White House liaison; and Sufe Bradshaw as Sue, Meyer’s seen-it-all executive assistant.
