Air date: Apr 05, 2022

In this episode, we’re visited by Diedrich Bader who played campaign manager turned scapegoat Bill Ericsson! Diedrich recalls his time on ‘Veep’ and how he got to wear the “fame hat” because of the show; he talks about how taking his kids to the beach made him bomb his audition in front of Julia Louis-Dreyfus; how he never could memorize his lines and therefore was constantly nervous on set.
