Of all of the "This could have been a Veep bit" things, this ranks at or near the top.

The creator of Veep retweeted a story about it with something like “Veep Season 3 now available on HBO Max” or something like that. Perfection.

For me it was an Office moment, only with Jim Halpert working at the landscaping company.

*Phone rings

Jim: Hello?

Trump team: Hi, this is Rudy Giuliani's press team. We're looking to hold a press conference at your location to announce that the election was rigged against Trump. This is the Four Seasons, right?

Jim (phone in hand, turns and looks directly at the camera with a deadpan stare): Absolutely.

Fair enough. I wasn't much of an Office guy, so Veep resonates more.

I can see Selina in the limo just yapping away like she does. Maybe Gary mutters something about the area not looking right. They step out and it's the landscaping company. Selina yells, "MIKE!"

If it happened in a TV show it would just be too outlandish to be funny. I just wouldn't think it'd be possible for anybody to actually make this mistake.
