>> Stephen: EVERYBODY, WELCOME BACK!
WE'RE HERE ONCE MORE WITH THE CAST OF "VEEP."
I WANT TO FIND OUT SOMETHING ABOUT THE CHARACTERS THAT WE
DIDN'T KNOW BEFORE.
ANY KIND OF BACKSTORY?
ANYTHING, WAYS THAT YOU MIGHT HAVE PREPPED TO DO THE
CHARACTER?
TONY, HOW DID GARY GET AS GOOD AS HE WAS AT THE L LA VIE THAN?
>> OH, I THINK A LOT OF PRACTICE.
I THINK HE GOES HOME AND HAS A TAPE RECORDER THAT SAYS ITEMS
OUT IN THE TAPE RECORDER AND JUST SEES HOW FAST HE CAN PULL
THEM OUT OF THE BAG.
I THINK THAT'S A NIGHTLY RITUAL FOR HIM, AND HE LOVES IT.
>> Stephen: YEAH.
FUN TIMES.
AND HE'S REALLY GOOD AT IT.
>> Stephen: YOU WENT TO SCHOOL IN BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA.
>> I DID.
>> Stephen: AND YOUR CHARACTER IS FROM BIRMINGHAM.
>> YEAH.
WHERE'S BIRMINGHAM?
OH, THEY WERE LYING!
>> Stephen: THAT IS THE GENERAL REACTION TO BIRMINGHAM,
ALABAMA.
( LAUGHTER ) BUT DID IT WORTH YOU AT ALL THAT
YOU AND YOUR CHARACTER HAD THE SAME BACKGROUND?
BECAUSE GARY IS MAYBE NOT WHO YOU WANT TO BE.
>> NO, BUT I CAME UP WITH THAT.
I THINK I THREW IN THAT I WAS FROM BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA BECAUSE
I LOVE BIRMINGHAM, ALABAMA.
NOW, THERE WAS AN EPISODE WRITE WENT BACK TO MY HOMETOWN OF
BIRMINGHAM, AND TURNS OUT GARY HAD AN AWFUL CHILDHOOD, SO
DIDN'T PUT THE SOUTH IN THE BEST LIGHT, BUT STILL BIRMINGHAM,
ALABAMA.

DON'T YOU WEAR THAT!
>> OH!
>> Stephen: ALL RIGHT.
JIM?

DID PRESIDENT MEYER FIND A WAY TO STEAL THE NOMINATION LIKE SHE
STOLE SOUTH CAROLINA?
>> STEALING SOUTH CAROLINA IS THE BEDROCK OF OUR POLITICAL
SYSTEM SENATOR.
>> OH, WELL, THERE IT IS, THE CASUAL MEYER CAT 'TUDE TOWARDS
CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE JUST LIKE HER HUSBAND.

STEP-HUSBAND.
IF YOU CAN'T FIGURE OUT HOW TO STEAL SOUTH CAROLINA, YOU
HAVE NO BUSINESS BEING PRESIDENT.

RIGHT ( ARGUING )
>> HEY, ALL RIGHT!
TREATING THIS BROKERED CONVENTION LIKE IT'S A BIG
( BLEEP ) COLLEGE GYMNAST WH W DADDY CAN SHOW HER BIG

IT TO AIR.

BROUGHT ME, THE FAITH YOU HAVE RESTORED IN WASHINGTON, D.C. IN
