I cannot believe it's the last season of Veep.
I'm gonna have withdrawal or something.
Yeah, I know.
Right.
It's over, seven years, seven seasons, yeah.
That's everywhere in New York City,
that poster, everywhere!
That picture looks like
she just smelled a really, maybe good piece
of cheese, but some sort of cheese.
(laughing)
It's the freakiest poster ever,
and I love it, and I love Julia.
She's so wonderful, and I loved
her CBS Sunday morning piece.
What's it like for you guys, weird?
It is weird.
Seven years.
Yeah, it was especially emotional.
There are very few shows, where you know
you're going out on your terms.
So many shows just get yanked off the air,
and you never get a chance to finish it.
Now you go out riding high, right.
Yeah, we're going out riding high,
but it was sort of extra special
because Julia was diagnosed with breast cancer
a year and a half ago, almost two years ago,
and so we went dark for a season.
She went away, and she did what she always does,
and she attacked her problem.
She's doing great, she looks beautiful, by the way.
Totally in remission, she's fantastic.
(clapping and cheering)
And yeah, so we came back for the last season
but we got our big sister back,
and that was the most important thing.
All right, give me something.
Tell us a behind the scenes,
something that hasn't been out there yet
about the final season.
This was fun for me, 'cause it was a real treat.
So, I have two boys, and my wife and my older son
who at the time he was just about three and a half,
they surprised me, there they are.
So Conrad, the one that my wife is holding,
is a real character.
I don't know where he gets that from.
(laughter)
They surprised me on set.
We shoot at Paramount in LA, and they surprised me on set,
and he'd never been to a set before,
so he got to see sort of Daddy doing what Daddy does,
and he loved, of course his favorite thing
was riding around in the golf cart.
(laughing)
At four, that's fair.
He loved it.
How much trouble can you get in at four in a golf cart.
And one of the make up girls,
he saw they're doing my makeup,
and he said, what is that,
and she's like, do you want some,
and he's like, yeah.
So, she put a little bit on his nose, he looks at himself
in the mirror and he says, little more.
(laughing)
You've got a baby ham, don't you?
I've got a baby ham, yeah.
Did you guys have a wrap party?
What did you do?
We had an epic--
Epic wrap party!
Epic warp party.
We have our crew, we have like 150 people on our crew.
My God.
Everybody turned out,everybody, plus ones, families.
We had this killer jazz band,
like big, jazz, blues, loud,
in your face band at this, we took
over an entire club in Los Angeles.
There was maybe 500 people there.
Everybody danced.
When I say everybody danced, I mean everybody danced.
We might have had some drinks.
Was there any crossover for Julia,
right, from Veep to Elaine?
Elaine on a dance floor is a scary thing.
(laughing)
Yes, Elaine is a scary dancer.
Elaine came out.
Julia's got some moves.
Her husband Brad really had some moves.
He had some moves.
Yeah, yeah, it was fun, it was fun.
He moves like Jagger.
(laughing)
He does, they're slick.
Okay, what did you boost from the set,
anything from the fake White House
or the fake Air Force One?
I got smart.
I knew I can take a pen, or I can take
some little tchotchke off a desk,
but I was like, no no.
I took all of my suits.
Go big or go home, right.
Yeah, right.
(clapping and cheering)
All of 'em.
So wait, what are they gonna do with them?
Put them in that Veep wing at the Smithsonian?
Do you know something I don't know?
We're getting a wing at the Smithsonian?
That'd be amazing.
There should be, right?
Yeah.
There should be.
I hope so, someday.
I'm gonna so miss the writing,
and the ensemble cast vibe of this.
It was amazing.
It was lightning in a bottle.
It really was.
It doesn't happen a lot that you get a cast
as big as ours, as talented as ours,
that everyone legitimately loves each other.
We go on vacations together.
Our kids all have grown up together.
That's what I'm really gonna just miss the most.
The fabric of it.
Well, hopefully that doesn't go away.
(clapping and cheering)
