Julia Louis-Dreyfus is getting the "Veep" gang back together for a reunion that doubles as a fundraiser aimed at helping Democrats "win up and down the ballot in Wisconsin."
The star of HBO's political satire, which aired from 2012 to 2019, announced this week that she would join other castmates for a livestreamed Sep. 29 table read hosted by Stephen Colbert of "The Late Show."
"This is Julia Louis-Dreyfus: The 10-time Emmy winner and an elitist, out-of-touch, Hollywood liberal Satan worshipper," Wisconsin Democratic Party Chair Ben Wikler cracked in a video announcement about the event.
"You know what — incorrect. I have 11 Emmys," quipped Louis-Dreyfus, who played fictional Vice President Selina Meyer on the comedy series.
"We've all been rewatching that 'Veep' episode where Selena finds out that she's going to be president," Wikler said.
"I have an idea: What if we get the cast back together for a virtual table read of that episode all in support of helping Dems win up and down the ballot in Wisconsin?" Louis-Dreyfus replied.
Actors including Tony Hale, Anna Chlumsky, Reid Scott, Gary Cole, Matt Walsh, Sarah Sutherland, Timothy Simons, Clea DuVall, Sam Richardson and Sufe Bradshaw are poised to join the event.
The "Veep" cast has reunited several times in recent years for Democratic causes. In 2022, the HBO cast joined stars from "The West Wing" for a fundraiser benefitting the Wisconsin Democratic Party ahead of the midterm elections. The "Veep" cast also participated in a virtual reunion in 2020 to support Joe Biden's White House bid in Wisconsin, a swing state.
