. >>> FOR THE PAST FIVE YEARS REID
SCOTT HAS BEEN KEEPING US ENTERTAINED AS DAN EGAN ON THE
AWARD WINNING COMEDY "VEEP." >> THE SEASON FINDS THEM TRYING
TO MAKE IT AS PRIVATE CITIZENS. >> IT'S HARD BEING A PRIVATE
CITIZEN, ISN'T IT? >> IT'S AWFUL.
>> WHERE IS YOUR SECURITY CLEARANCE.
>> NIL AT THIS POINT. IT'S FUN.
THIS SEASON IS REALLY COOL. WE EXPLORED SOMETHING WE HAVEN'T
GOTTEN TO DO YET. WHEN AN ADMINISTRATION LEAVES
OFFICE, WHERE DO THESE PEOPLE
GO? THEY GO BACK TO THEIR REGULAR
LIVES AND THE BIND KIND OF SCATTERS.
>> EVERYBODY IS MISERABLE. >> YOU CAN TELL US WHAT HAPPENS
TO YOUR CHARACTER. >> WE SEE AT THE END OF THE
SEASON FIVE THAT DAN GETS OFFERED A JOB AT CBS.
>> NOT CVS. >> NO.
>> CBS. >> YES.
>> AND YES, HE'S TRYING TO MAKE A FORRAY INTO GRAFT JOURNALISM
AND HE'S JUST BACK STABBING ENOUGH TO --
>> HE'S GOT TO BE SO MUCH FUN TO PLAY.
>> IT'S AWESOME. >> SIX SEASONS LATER, WHEN YOU
FIRST READ THE SCRIPT, YOU KNOW THIS WAS GOING TO BE ONE OF
THOSE SHOWS THAT EVERYBODY LOVE
ED. >> NO.
WE ALL JOKE ABOUT IT. WE LOVED DOING IT AND WE'VE GOT
THE GREATEST CAST EVER ASSEMBLED IN MY BACK, BUT THESE DAYS TO GO
SIX SEASONS, THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
I THINK WE'RE ALL STILL A LITTLE SURPRISED.
>> IT'S LIKE A MASTER CLASS IN COMEDY.
>> IT'S BEEN INCREDIBLE. >> THE KEY WHEN YOU LOOK AT ALL
THE GREAT SITCOMS OF ALL TIME, IT'S TWO THINGS.
THE WRITING AND THE CASTING AND YOU GUYS ARE PERFECTLY CAST.
>> THANK YOU. >> AND YOU CAN ALSO SAY THINGS
ON CABLE THAT -- >> WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT ME?
>> IT MEANS YOU'RE A DARN GOOD ACTOR.
>> YES. THERE IT IS.
>> BUT YOU CAN GET AWAY WITH SO MUCH ON CABLE NOW.
HALF OF THE STUFF THAT COMES OUT OF JULIA'S MOUTH IS JUST --
>> BY THE WAY, WE CAN'T IMAGINE HER CHARACTER NOT BEING
PRESIDENT. CAN SHE RUN AGAIN?
>> YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE TO WATCH AND FIND OUT.
>> ARE WE GOING TO LIKE WHAT WE SEE?
>> ABSOLUTELY. BECAUSE, YOU KNOW, LIKE I SAID,
EVERYONE KIND OF -- WE WERE KIND OF GIVEN AN OPPORTUNITY TO DIG
DOWN ON EACH CHARACTER, SO IT'S BEEN REALLY FUN.
I THINK THE AUDIENCE WILL LOVE IT BECAUSE WE GET TO KNOW THESE
CHARACTERS. YOU THINK YOU KNOW THEM AFTER
FIVE SEASONS. YOU REALLY GET TO KNOW THEM IN
THE SIXTH SEASON. >> OKAY.
SINCE WE CAN'T TALK ABOUT ANYTHING, LET'S PLAY A GAME.
>> IT'S CALLED VEEP OR CREEP. >> ALL RIGHT.
>> SO WE ARE GOING TO ASK YOU EITHER AN ACTOR OR A FORMER VICE
PRESIDENT. VEEP OR CREEP.
IF THE ACTOR PLAYED A CREEP IN MOVIES.
YOUR OTHER CO STARS HAVE PLAYED THIS AND YOU HAVE TO BEAT
FOUR -- YOU HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN FOUR TO BEAT THEM OUT.
>> WHO HAS? >> MATT.
>> NEVER DID LIKE HIM. >> BILL, IS HE A VEEP OR CREEP?
>> I'M GOING TO SAY CREEP. >> DANIEL DAY LEWIS CHARACTER IN
GANGS OF NEW WORK. >> WILLIAM KING.
>> I'M GOING TO SAY VEEP. >> CORRECT.
>> 13th VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES.
>> NUMBER THREE, HARRY POWELL. >> I'M GOING TO SAY VEEP AGAIN.
>> NO. >> HE WAS A CREEP.
>> NEXT? >> ROBERT MITCHUM'S CHARACTER.
>> FOUR, HOWARD PAYNE? >> VEEP.
>> CREEP. >> DENNIS HOPPER'S CHARACTER IN
SPEED. HOW ARE YOU SUPPOSED TO KNOW
THESE THINGS? >> I DON'T KNOW.
NEXT. >> HANNIBAL HAMLIN.
>> THIS IS A TRICK QUESTION. >> VEEP?
>> YES. >> ONE MORE.
CHARLES FAIRBANKS. >> VEEP.
>> CORRECT. ALEX DELARGE.
>> CREEP. >> YES!
>> LITTLE BIT OF HELP. HOW MANY DID HE GET?
>> FIVE. >> YOU WON!
>> I BEAT MATT WALSH. THAT'S ALL THAT MATTERS.
>> MATT IS GOING TO BE SO
