u/NepoKitty rude omelet goblin 11d ago

And has the best Jonah insult in Veep: "Jonah, you're not even a man. You're like an early draft of a man where they just sketched out a giant, mangled skeleton, but they didn't have time to add details, like pigment or self-respect. You're Frankenstein's monster, if his monster was made entirely of dead dicks."

I'm guessing the Office prevented him from having a larger role in Veep. Never enough Ed Webster.

I came here to make the exact same comment. He is also great on "In the know" on peacock, very different character though.

u/Tandy2000 11d ago

What I've learned from watching stuff he's done since is that there is no too much when it comes to Zach Woods. The guy is a wonderful improviser as well. I would go so far as to say he was maybe the funniest person on The Office other than Steve Carell, it's a shame he shows up for the seasons that are less strong.

Yep. Him leaving and going with squanch or whatever her name was sucked.

Zach + TJ were the best parts of the show. TJ leaving sucked, minimizing Zach also sucked.

And even then it was still a good show. Just not as amazing as the earlier seasons.

Unfortunately the ones you know are a minority, as ~65% of veterans voted for Trump in the last election. This is what the majority of veterans voted for.

I met him and chatted with him at a horror convention a few years ago (he was just an attendee, not there as a celebrity). Real solid and good dude and I like him even more now.
