Julia Louis-Dreyfus Emcees Democratic Convention
The actress and comedian Julia Louis-Dreyfus opened the final night of the Democratic National Convention with lighthearted jokes about Joe Biden and less generous ones about President Trump.
I first met Joe Biden when I was doing my show “Veep.” I played the vice president, and he was, in fact, the vice president. And we hit it off immediately. Soon after, I was asked to be on the cover of a magazine — remember those? And I was so excited. It was like, oh, what’s it going to be, People or Vogue or Rolling Stone? Well, it turns out it was for Arrive, the official onboard magazine of Amtrak, which nobody ever reads even though it’s free. And the day it came out, my phone rang, and it was the vice president telling me he loved the cover and the whole article, and that it was one of the best issues of Arrive he had ever read. And that is just one of the many reasons that I wanted to be here tonight for Joe, and to remind you that Joe Biden not only knows how to read, but also he reads everything. You know, I am no policy expert, and I certainly don’t pretend to be one, but I have a gut feeling about fairness and what’s right, and that is why I am so excited that just in a little while, we’re going to hear from Joe Biden about his plans for America. How can you help Joe? It’s super simple: Vote. If we all vote, there is nothing Facebook, Fox News and Vladimir Putin can do to stop us.
