As a Finn, her accent is a strange blend of spot-on and way off, but she does a hell of a job anyway and this show is seriously getting better with each episode. Funniest show on TV right now.

She should've watched more Markorepairs videos to get the accent perfect.

im not sure i know exactly who you mean either but if i saw a dude doing some really scary poo poo with an electric coil on a stove in a filthy/scary apartment would it probably have been him?

I'm glad you know him, because that's a joke I made! Because wouldn't it be awful to get an accent like that to represent a prime minister of Finland, from an unemployed man who cannot speak English properly! Very funny! :)

No, you're mistaken. Markorepairs has the VCR collection, Masaokis is the dirty cook of meat that you're thinking of. No need to express regret from this error, the mistake is forgiven. Good night.

That really wouldn't work. While sometimes similar in theme, the tone of the two shows is different enough that Malcolm Tucker doesn't fit at all in my mind. I can't imagine a satisfying way you could use the character that wouldn't pull the viewer out if the show.

It's Darren Boyd

You probably know him from British TV series like Spy, Whites, Green Wing or Dirk Gently.
He was also in Four Lions.

Please, it's Giant Gaystacks.

That was a great episode. The hat was hysterical, as were Ray's changes to the speech. Meloni did a great job with that character.

Between Jonah, Ed/Chad from In the Loop and that Deputy PM I'm starting to think Armando Iannucci has it in for tall people. Maybe I'm five years late on that.

I almost feel like the entire plot of running up to Selena's run for POTUS is going to blow up due to 1/3 her general incompetence (not knowing the football/soccer thing was so hilariously awkward), 1/3 Dan and Amy sabotaging each other, and 1/3 sitting POTUS just throwing poo poo her way that completely destabilizes her campaign.

The final scene was definitely a highlight of an otherwise excellent episode. For all the talk about Dan being a dick, Amy just hosed Selina hard by leaking that story so I wouldn't be surprised if it comes back to bite her in the rear end later on.

seriously he is loving hilarious.

also the show is just so well written too, i laugh so hard at the concept of the personal trainer making corrections/suggestions to the speech writer

E: i just realized that anna chlumsky is way better looking than this show makes her out to be haha

You'll be sad to know that Meloni's 2014 midseason sitcom, Surviving Jack, was cancelled during the up fronts. He was great in it, it was a fun little throwback show.

It's a testament to how well the characters are written and performed because when Selina was told about the FLOTUS' suicide attempt, she went through this series of reactions and one of them made me think that she thought if that meant she could replace her now somehow. Reminded me of one of my favorite moments in S1 when POTUS has a heart attack scare and her reaction is this forced concern covering complete joy, it's amazing.
