Armando Ienucci on VEEP

"I like knowing what my last scene is of the season. And therefore, because I know what the first scene of the next season is," he said. "With VEEP, a hardcore 10 episode plan, you know, of the season." The actor says that when Armando Ienucci decided to go off-the-cuff on his own show, there was more improv than scripts. But sometimes in a scene, it would be scripted and then they'd throw out new lines for fun. He's always trying to think 'what else do we have here? Any moment that feels like there's no time?'
