Timothy Simons Has Endured A Lot From The 'Veep' Writers

[@harryking3215]

I personally think Jonah and Richard are one of the best duos on TV. Then you add in Dan to the group and the 3 become this amazing trio of hate, anger and unbridled optimism

[@moxy187]

Harry Hurt there's an odd sweetness to Jonah and Richard's friendship

[@victoriabercovitz3669]

Richard makes a great duo with anyone because it cancels their assholeness 😂 he was also good with selena. Anyone he spends time with just becomes more likeable than alone

[@leonardorestrepo5196]

That's like the powerpuff girls of mixed feelings

[@kattelubega5840]

Precisely

[@02291992mm]

Also the little sprinkle of Cliff was amazing, those 2 were enough but Cliff was just so randomly happy & absentmindedly that he added an extra touch to their hilarious dynamic.

I went to high school with Timothy and honestly he was one of the few people that was decent to me an non judgemental and was a real friend! I loved our talks about "alternative" music and we both loved the red hot chilie peppers! Congratulations my friend

[@ms.rstake_1211]

That's so sweet.

Timothy Simons does an amazing job playing an unlikable character in the show, but for this interview, he was incredibly likable with a sharp sense of humor and impeccable timing. I've only checked out the first 2 episodes of Veep, but I'm thinking I'll have to get back to it now.

[@JoeyMartz]

You're missing comedy gold!

[@michaeljones9316]

Uh yeah...do yourself a big favor!

[@barbaracataldo566]

Agree, agree! I've watched all seven seasons now and the final episode was one of the BEST I've seen on TV.👍👍👍

[@highdough2712]

It’s hard to believe a show with so many despicable, horrendous characters Was so enjoyable to watch. I will miss this show.

[@bjornalm9950]

”The worlds largest piece of unstable human scaffolding”. Oh the imagination of these writers is unreal👍

[@Janmann2007]

The Cloud Botherer is the best one!

[@funkk]

I was crying when i fisrt heard it.

[@mlr4524]

"...All the regular ones (lies)....Santa, the Easter Bunny, 'Everything's Fine'...."

[@beadyslay]

Imo, Jonah became more likable this season compared to previous seasons. Such as when he considered Richard to be his friend so he invited him to a concert, and then after he realizes it's a Neo Nazi concert he became worried about Richard and wanted to leave. And how he thinks the word pork offends Shawnee so he does not want that to be said around her. He cares more about some people now.

[@JoeyMartz]

Button Nose - good observation. I liked Jonah since season one when Dan rejected him in the diner.

[@Volvican]

Oops.. spoke too soon.

[@canaisyoung3601]

The later episodes, not so much, unless you count him making up with his stepfather before his stepdad died from adult chicken pox (which is lethal in adulthood, but just a pain in the ass if you're a kid).

[@MrDarthvis]

Or after him and his dad got chicken pox, his dad advised him to lighten up on the intensity and crude speech, and Jonah was like “🥺 okay dad.” Boy just needed a father figure growing up.

[@anthonydtobias]

I went to school with him in high school. I was friends with him in middle school and early part of high school (They were in the same building). We would always sit in the library and talk about things and laugh. Glad to see he is doing great!!

no

[@toxicsugarart2103]

Nah, that just goes to show how skilled the writers are. I’ve never actually seen this show specifically, but I find myself loving a lot of fictional villains, even though if they existed in real life I’d avoid them lol. I think just knowing it’s fake is part of what makes it fun too. Idk lol.

For some reason, rather than watch Veep and GoT episode by episode as they drop, I've been storing them up for binge-watching. Only those two shows, except for the first ep of GoT S7. I'm in the guts of Veep S6 and it is phenomenal. Julia Louis-Dreyfus is just perfect. They all are really, not one misstep. From soup to nuts, everyone involved, be they writers, actors, wardrobe, set design, lighting...all great.

[@zahidkhadri8149]

It takes a man of incredible humility and self awareness to play such an unlikable character. This interview just proves that irl TIMOTHY is just a super nice guy :)

[@trippingpug5513]

That dude is freaking huge. Seems like the huggable sort though.

[@ethefp]

Holy shit. I remember the show Jonah is talking about too. It was a Ghostface show and the opening act was TruLife. He said something about the opening act [I wanna say it was Vakill] and tried to get the crowd to sing some song with NY in the title. His hypeman threw some plastic bottles and somebody from the crowd threw a glass bottle at Trulife's face. Eventually shit died down and the cops let Ghostface perform after. Good times.

[@riotbreaker3506]

Timothy is right up there with Antony Starr in convincing you to absolutely hate their characters

[@kdmdlo]

It was an accident ... much like when bigfoot got your mom pregnant, resulting in you.

[@xMadDonaldx]

"Teach that to your daughters" ... Timothy only has 1 daughter

[@gregorsamsa3016]

Jacob Mac Donald I think maybe Colbert was drunk. He kept stumbling over words in his monologue and licked his lips a lot. He was really thrown off by Tracy Morgan too. Usually he's quicker than that. To be fair he could just be really distracted by something personal.

[@autum8560]

Aww, that's the cute, funny, lovable Jonah :)

[@davemathewsrocks]

Jonah Ryan could be president one day

[@memento81]

awww, what in improvement that would be, right?

[@JohnLee-ue6gy]

No, the POTUS is the POTUS. Jonah is Jonad.

[@TheCalvin1902]

He'd be better than what we've got now.

[@tonyajw85]

I think they will end VEEP with Jonah as President and Selina as Vice President lol

He's like a Giant version of Jesse Eisenberg.

[@msh2093]

That chair must not be very comfortable. Why is he fidgeting?

[@MagicalMissMikki]

M. Shahri it probably has something to do with him being knees to nips in it lol but he keeps wringing his hands and adjusting his jacket too so he may just have nervous tics/be a fidgeter in general
