Veep Creator Would Like to Remind You Jonahs That the Show Was Fiction

Did Veep predict the future? Hmm ...

You might have seen online that the current president dropped out of the 2024 presidential race, and now our female vice-president is looking to take over the position. And you might have noticed that this is also the plot of Veep . Well, a lot of other people also noticed that, and the show’s creator, Armando Iannucci, is here to clarify: There was no crystal ball.

“Don’t forget we made all that up, though,” Iannucci wrote on X in response to a fan who compared our current real life to the plot of the show. Another user wrote, “This show. It’s always this show,” to which Iannucci responded, “Is it?” And fair — honestly, sometimes it’s not.

Did any of Kamala Harris’s staff get a nosebleed at any of this news? No, really, we’re curious. Maybe we should get a camera crew up in there. Don’t forget we made all that up, though https://t.
