Second in Command: A Veep Rewatch

Second in Command: A Veep Rewatch

Join friends and Veep co-stars Matt Walsh and Timothy Simons for a weekly comedy podcast where they dive into a rewatch the Matt and Tim way -- beginning with the question, “what is memory? And is what we remember actually what happened?” They’ll also unpack the question “what’s it like to be two supporting actors on Veep as well as in their real lives in Hollywood.” So Veep fans feel free to ask your questions, leave your comments, and if you’re lucky, you may even win a free tuxedo. Expect expert interviews, cast and crew drop-ins, and commentary on politics so ridiculous, it might seem fake on a comedy show. Submit your questions for Matt and Tim and tune in to see if your question makes it on an episode! secondincommandatc@gmail.com Follow Matt Walsh @mrmattwalsh Tim Simons @timothycsimons You can rewatch all 7 seasons of VEEP along with Matt and Tim on Max today!
