Says Sorkin of his featured player, “In a lot of ways, [Olivia] reminded me of a female version of Rob Lowe on The West Wing—she plays a wonk who doesn’t know or doesn’t care that she’s good-looking. I’d seen her on The Daily Show, so I knew she was a world-class comedian, but it wasn’t until her audition that I saw she was also a world-class actress.”

Well that’s certainly a glowing recommendation. Haters be damned.

The cost of bad Luck.

$35 Million is the amount HBO lost in the cancellation of the Dustin Hoffman series.
440,000 viewers watched the final episode despite the series debuting to over a million viewers. 
3 horses died during filming, which ultimately led to the cancellation of the show.

2 seconds in, automatic win! VEEP.
