We’re kicking off Season 3 with a very special treat. We’re getting an exclusive under the hood look from the captain himself: Armando Iannucci!

If you thought you were a Veep fan you just might question that after meeting this super fan: Stephen Colbert! To say Stephen is obsessed with VEEP is an understatement. He references and quotes the show better than the two guys that were on the show! Life imitates art as Stephen reflects on his time as a political commentator while comparing the “larger than life” characters on the show to real-life politicians. It’s a complete geek-fest as Matt and Tim test Stephen on his Veep trivia and finally, Stephen weighs in on the age old debate: Is Mike McLintock or Amy Brookheimer worse at their job?

You made it to another episode of Second in Command! On today’s episode we recap Episode 4: “The Vic Allen Dinner”

With Tim coming back into the studio, the co-hosts get right back into some “healthy-ish” banter while they look back on the episode, and as prophesized by Julia Louis-Dreyfus herself, it perhaps becomes more apparent than ever that they may need a good couple’s therapy session…or two.

Join friends and Veep co-stars Matt Walsh and Timothy Simons for a weekly comedy podcast where they dive into a rewatch the Matt and Tim way -- beginning with the question, “what is memory? And is what we remember actually what happened?” They’ll also unpack the question “what’s it like to be two supporting actors on Veep as well as in their real lives in Hollywood.” So Veep fans feel free to ask your questions, leave your comments, and if you’re lucky, you may even win a free tuxedo. Expect expert interviews, cast and crew drop-ins, and commentary on politics so ridiculous, it might seem fake on a comedy show.
