JLD also brought a big acting award home again this year. Veep is an incredible comedy and we hope more people than ever tune in this year!
Tony Hale actually came up on stage when Julia Louis-Dreyfus accepted her award to hold her bag (only Veep fans will understand).

With HBO, or Cinemax, or Showtime now doing the shows more people watch. who needs the original boardcasting channels anymore when they show nothing but Reality TV crap.
