Veepalmost went there,Busty Lifeguards (2010) but the Trump news cycle got there first. Because life now imitates TV.
At one point, a script from the HBO series' upcoming sixth season featured a "golden showers" joke -- a Jonah burn, naturally. But the joke was axed after salacious details in an as-yet-unproven intel dossier suggested that Donald "45" Trump may have engaged in such an act.
SEE ALSO: Turns out, Sean Spicer would fit right in as a character on 'Veep'Showrunner David Mandel fesses up to the script change in a guest column for The Hollywood Reporter. The weird reality of a post-Trump world made a throwaway gag about urine-soaked sex feel just a tad too real.
Mandel claims it's the only change they had to make. It's definitely the only one he's admitting.
The only thing we did have to change — it sounds like a bad joke, but it's true — was a "golden shower" joke in one of the episodes where someone is yelling at Jonah [Timothy Simons] about a golden shower. We hadn't filmed it yet, and we realized, "Oh, we need to change that" [because of the Trump-Russia dossier]. Who knew we would literally have to change a Veepgolden showers joke because of the real president of the United States of America? It doesn’t get any weirder than that.
Veephas never explicitly included living political figures, but its expletive-ridden satire is based very intentionally on the 21st century political climate.
Season 6 takes Selina Meyer (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) in a new direction -- one that promises to feel less like a comedic take on our current nightmarish reality -- but the "golden showers" joke fell a bit too squarely on the nose.
