Julia Louis-Dreyfus
For Julia Louis-Dreyfus, playing U.S. Vice President Selina Meyer in HBO's new sitcom Veep feels like a homecoming. "I'm familiar with the culture of Washington because I grew up there," says the graduate of the tony D.C. private school Holton-Arms. "[First Daughter] Susan Ford and her Secret Service went to my high school, and Amy Carter went to my sister's. So I know that area."

The "Very Funny" cable network burned off the whopping nine-episode season of its sly charmer about Chicago sportswriter PJ (Jordana Spiro) and her pals on Sundays opposite such sky-high-profile cable competition as Keeping Up with the Kardashians and Mad Men — whose costar Joel Murray, aka rehabbed alky Freddy Rumsen, guested on Boys as the owner who sold the gang's hangout, Crowley's, to Brando (Reid Scott) in the season finale.

Monday's episode was a fun one for Brando. It kind of marks a distinct shift in his personality, and let's just say it's not for the better. That's actually one of the best things about this season. The characters get real, faults and all. It's kind of a running theme for the season. We get to dig up a little dirt on everyone, expose some of the skeletons in their closets, and like all good friends... rip on each other for it.We also had two guest stars in this one. Travis Schuldt from Scrubs joined us, and Johnny Galecki came back as Trouty. They were both great. Cool thing about Travis is that he just instantly fit right in. Sometimes it can be tough for an actor to show up to the set as a guest star and try to pick up the cast's rhythm, their inside jokes, their particular sense of humor. But he got it right away — we were lucky to have him.And Johnny, what can I say? I f--king love that guy! Anyone who can pull off a character as weird as Trouty has some major talent... and...

Hope everybody liked Monday's episodes!The thing that's been so great about this last round of nine episodes has hands down been the writing. So many people have mentioned that they thought the writing in the last two episodes was great. I absolutely agree. The writers this year found a whole new gear and really started to open up the characters. The dialog has gotten crisper, the jokes are funnier and at times more subtle (which I really dig), and the relationships between the characters keeps getting clearer and clearer.The second of the two episodes that aired Monday was called "Off Day", i.e. P.J.'s bombing on the Turk Vardell Show. Funny side note: it was written by Brendan Smith who is a close friend of the show's creator (Betsy Thomas) and who also happens to be the guy my character is based on. There's something for the trivia section. It's been a running gag on the set that whenever the real Brendan and I are hanging out just talking or something, someone always walks by an...
