Veep Jokes

Julia Louis-Dreyfus marked an Emmys milestone, winning her ninth overall statuette and her fifth in a row for best actress in a comedy for "Veep”. On "Veep," she portrays a somewhat bumbling vice president who later becomes the acting president, despite her hapless staff making political blunders along the way. Louis-Dreyfus won in the past for her roles on "Seinfeld" and "The New Adventures of Old Christine." The 55-year-old actress tearfully dedicated her acting Emmy to her father, who died two days earlier. She also joked that her widely-acclaimed show had started as a comedy but increasingly resembled a documentary, a slap at the chaotic US presidential campaign.
