So he came in and he was killer funny. We read great people for the Veep pilot because that writing is Armando Iannucci. And Julia came in for the sessions and read with people. So that was very enjoyable. But Tim came in and killed it. But his competition was stiff. And when we got to the network at HBO, he was great.

And after talking, I was able to hear how they came to the conclusion that Tim Simons was the way to go. And again, against some very big comedy people. And Julia would talk about it and how she wanted to act with these people. Julia was a large part of picking that cast. She said about Tony Hale versus the competition for Tony Hale, I would not be embarrassed to ask Tony Hale to get me a Tampax.

Right. And that's how he decided he would be the perfect bag man. She said, Tony would not embarrass me. The other person might embarrass me. And it turns out that we ended up using all the runner-ups in recurring roles on Veep. What a freaking cast. Wait, do you want to tell Phyllis? Oh, Phyllis. I don't know if this is generally known.

I think it is that Phyllis was my associate for seven or eight years. And we were casting the pilot of The Office. With Ken Kwapis, we were in the room reading. We had two days of final testing for all the different combinations we could use for the office. I was reading and Phyllis was filming.

And Ken Kwapis just sort of tiptoed over to me and said, let Phyllis read with the actors because I think she might be good in the background. It was like, of course she would. Look at the people in the British office in the background. They're real looking people.

And so, yes, we let Phyllis read and she went in to read with the test between like Krasinski and Jenna and a lot of other people. I had previously been reading with Steve and a few other people. And she was great. We were so excited. And then Greg, when he faxed over the pilot and there was one line for Phyllis, we went. How exciting.

Because at that time, Phyllis was going to make like $630 for the day. And that was exciting, SAG scale.
