Timothy Simons of 'Veep' Talks Trump's America on 'Desus & Mero'

The actor visited the late-night show to talk about the White House, flyover states, and growing up in the Pine Tree State.

Veep is lauded for its witty, outlandish take on US politics, portraying a world where someone as incompetent and hot-headed as Jonah Ryan—played by Timothy Simons—could hold office. It's a parody, of course—but the actor told Desus and Mero the Veep White House seems to be getting closer to mirroring reality every day.

Aside from talking Trump's America, Simons dropped by the late-night show Wednesday to tell the hosts about visiting Iowa, why he loves his home state of Maine, and the wild weed that grows in its woods. By the end of the night, Desus and Mero felt like leaving the Bronx and heading to the Pine Tree State for good.
