Julia Louis-Dreyfus: ‘Seinfeld, ‘Veep’ and ‘You Hurt My Feelings’

<p>If there’s anyone in Hollywood who might be immune to criticism, it’s 11-time Emmy-winner and Mark Twain Prize for American Humor recipient Julia Louis-Dreyfus. But as the comedy legend admits in this episode, the rare negative comment about her work still “stings.” That feeling is at the heart of Louis-Dreyfus’ new film ‘You Hurt My Feelings,’ in which she delivers the most emotionally raw performance of her career. During our conversation, the actress reflects on her early struggles as a cast member on ‘Saturday Night Live’ and the catharsis of returning as host. She also reveals what she really thought about the divisive ‘Seinfeld’ finale 25 years later, breaks down the difference between ‘Veep’s’ Selina Meyer and her own “narcissistic” father and a lot more.</p><br><p>Listen to Julia Louis-Dreyfus’ podcast <a href="https://lemonadamedia.com/show/wiser-than-me-with-julia-louis-dreyfus/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Wiser Than Me</a></p><br><p>Follow Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/OfficialJLD" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@OfficialJLD</a> and Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/officialjld" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@officialjld</a></p><p>Follow Matt Wilstein on Twitter <a href="https://twitter.com/mattwilstein" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@mattwilstein</a></p><p>Follow The Last Laugh on Instagram <a href="https://www.instagram.com/lastlaughpod/" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@lastlaughpod</a></p><br><p>Highlights from this episode and others at <a href="https://www.thedailybeast.com/franchise/the-last-laugh" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">The Daily Beast</a></p><p><br></p><br /><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
