Julia Louis-Dreyfus teamed up with Seth Meyers for an unforgettable session on his Day Drinking segment, proclaiming straight away, This show is a terrible idea.
Filmed at The Dawson in Manhattan, the event was marked by a series of creative, if not outright bizarre, alcoholic concoctions.
Presidential Drinks Round
The entertaining session included themed beverages inspired by Louis-Dreyfus’s HBO series Veep. Notable drinks were Nelson Rockefeller (ruby port, Goldschläger, and chocolate gold coins), Alben W. Barkley (Old Forester mixed with Old Grand Dad in an old fashioned), and Harry Truman (two Jägermeister shots drowned in beer). Louis-Dreyfus was especially put off by the Alben W. Barkley, which she spat back into the glass, exclaiming, These are all awful drinks
.
Game Challenges and Truth or Dare
Meyers did not hold back with his lineup of games following the vice-presidential drink round. Julia showcased her wit and spontaneity as she faced questions about three-named celebrities like Martin Luther King Jr. and Sarah Jessica Parker. There was also a truth-or-dare drinking game based on her movie Enough Said, where she had to take a shot or answer questions like her favorite SNL
host; she picked Tina Fey and Amy Poehler. Inquiries continued with Meyers posing questions like choosing between Oprah or Beyoncé; Julia did not hesitate,Beyoncé
. This led to a lightning round matching Jerry Seinfeld against Larry David for prom dates and Emmy shopping companions.
The Final Stunt with Shotzee
The clip concluded with Meyers taking some horrid mixed shots as part of a game called Shotzee, resulting in him sprawled out on the bar floor. Louis-Dreyfus added humor to his plight by caressing his ego: Thank you for letting me come on your stupid show. It’s the stupidest show I’ve ever done in my life.
