‘Veep’ scene pulled because of Trump

Another victim of this election cycle? Comedy.

In a recent interview with the Los Angeles Times, David Mandel, the showrunner behind HBO’s political satire Veep, blamed Donald Trump for “ruining comedy.”

According to Mandel, the Veep team had been working on a particular scene that used that now-infamous crude term for female genitalia.

“We had a scene where a minor character gets picked up on a DUI and he’s being a little mouthy to a female police officer and we sort of had a run using [the P-word],” said Mandel.

“It was pretty funny and they basically threw it in the garbage.”

All, according to Mandel, because of GOP presidential candidate Trump, who used the term in an uncovered Access Hollywood recording. Julia Louis-Dreyfus in Veep.
