Following an interview on Meet the Press, a slip of the tongue by Selina is misconstrued as a racist dig at Gov. Chung. The VP and her team go into recovery mode, trying to take the spotlight off Selina by visiting the sick and injured at a local hospital. Peter talks about how there were a lot of rehearsals despite the show relying heavily on improvisation - the cast had to quickly get used to trying out things on set that ultimately didn't make the cut.  Subscribe and leave us a review with 5 stars and you'll be entered into a raffle to win a Veep Funko Doll signed by Matt and Tim!

Today we’re joined by the one and only Tony Hale, who played Gary Walsh on Veep! Together, Matt, Tim, and Tony go through Episode 2 of Veep: “Frozen Yoghurt”. SYNOPSIS: The Veep's office is revived by good news that her task force is likely to be green lit. With the President (conveniently) out of the country, Selina looks to make headway on filibuster reform and meeting with some 'normal' people. A health scare temporarily allows Selina to be commander-in-chief but delays her plan for a media meet-and-greet at the local yoghurt store. Tony talks about how nervous he was going into the show and that he constantly thought he was about to get fired and replaced. They share how they found comedy in camaraderie even while feeling like they were thrown into the thick of it.

Anna Chlumsky has received six consecutive supporting comedy actress Emmy nominations as Amy Brookheimer on HBO’s award-dominating political satire “Veep,” from Armando Iannucci, David Mandel, and producer-star Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Breaking into the industry as a child star in “My Girl,” Anna didn’t come around to the idea of pursuing acting passionately until after a much-needed hiatus at the University of Chicago and in the publishing industry. Then she was inspired by Mercedes Ruehl onstage and eventually began training, working off-off-Broadway, and appearing on camera again. Her number one piece of advice, in acting or in life: tell the truth. Brought to you by HBO. -- For over 50 years, Backstage has been the most trusted place for actors to find jobs and career advice, and for casting professionals to find the right performers for their projects. “In the Envelope: An Awards Podcast” features interviews with some of the most exciting actors and storytellers working today.

Anna Chlumsky became famous virtually overnight at the age of 10, when she starred in the 1991 hit My Girl opposite Macaulay Culkin. And then, a few years later, she disappeared. She left acting completely and decided to become something else: an utterly normal college student, who set off on an utterly normal career. Anna tells Alex about that time in her life, about her eventual return to acting, and about playing Amy Brookheimer on the HBO show Veep. She’s earned five Emmy nominations in that role.

"Veep" follows President Selina Meyer as she puts out political fires, juggles her public schedule and private life, and does everything within her powers to improve her relationship with the team around her. Anna Chlumsky, who plays Amy Brookheimer, stopped by to discuss the seventh season of the show.

FINALLY breaking his very long streak of watching childhood classics that he never saw as a child, Dan suggested we watch the 90s family dramedy and Macaulay Culkin vehicle, My Girl.  Excellent suggestion, Dan!  Who doesn't love this movie?  Dan Aykroyd as a curmudgeonly widower who runs a funeral parlor, Jamie Lee Curtis as the sexy make up artist who wins his heart, the aforementioned MAC as the sweet nerdy sidekick...and starring smart ass perfectionist assistant Amy Brookheimer (aka Anna Chlumsky, aka the former star of Dan's childhood romantic fantasies)!  A delightful coming of age tale, with plenty of chuckles, tears and heart, this is one of those movies that you would cancel plans to stay home and watch on TBS.  But will both Dan and Chrysten weep as openly at the demise of Thomas J as they did as adolescents?  Join us and find out, darlings!  And don't forget to RATE, REVIEW & SUBSCRIBE!
