You want to know why @VeepHBO was so good? It's because I had an incredible writing staff, top to bottom, and they were ON THE SET, helping to jam every second of the show with killer jokes.

@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO 100% behind the WGA. Though, if a solo creator wants to write every word themselves, isn’t that an artistic choice? I know that’s the exception and not the rule. There has to be a reasonable provision for that scenario.
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO And they wrote some of the funniest lines ever. 👏
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO Two jokes I think about regularly are 1. The croissant as a dildo joke and 2. The “I’m going to destroy you in ways that are so creative they will honor me for it at the Kennedy Center” Truly my favorite show of all time!
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO thank you. on behalf of viewers who loved your amazing product, and I'm sure writers appreciate it too!
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO Most people don’t realize how hard GOOD writing is (and though I’ve written published humour, I’m also talking about the technical & environmental reports that I work on for my day job). We tell our son, “Get your thinking in order first; give it time.” Keep up the good fight!
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO From start to finish, @VeepHBO was on fire. Every episode.
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO And THAT projects through on to our TV screens too. What makes the difference between a good show & a first class one!
@DavidHMandel @steve_lieber @VeepHBO Yeah, this strikes me as "you wouldn't know them, they (all these "showrunners") live in Canada."
@DavidHMandel @VeepHBO Also, because it had some authentic feel to it to anyone working in DC.
