And there were zingers galore at Donald Trump’s expense as the Veep star emceed the final night of the Democratic National Convention. Louis-Dreyfus, 59, threw her support behind the Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden on Thursday night, and used her time fronting the fourth night of the DNC to poke fun at the current President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence. Referencing the constant mispronunciation of Biden’s running mate Kamala Harris’s name, the actress asked Andrew Yang: ‘Meeka Pints? Or is it Paints?’, with Yang replying: ‘It’s pronounced Pahnce, I believe. Or some kind of weird foreign name.’ Louis-Dreyfus said: ‘Yeah, not very American sounding. That’s what people are saying, strongly.’ The Seinfeld star also repeatedly made jokes when asking viewers to text 30330 for voting information, saying: ‘An easy way to remember 30330, is that’s the year Donald Trump will finally release his tax return.’ Protesters were cleared with tear gas so that Trump could visit a church (Picture: REUTERS/Tom Brenner) She also said: ‘That would be the President’s golf score, if he didn’t cheat. OK, look, I’ll admit, that was a little nasty, but we all know he’s a cheater, and I’m proud to be a nasty, nasty woman’, and ‘ It’s actually not that hard to remember, watch. Person, woman, man, camera, TV, 30330. Anyone can do it.’ Trump’s love of tweeting was the butt of one joke when Julia said: ‘Tonight, I couldn’t be prouder to be a loyal union member, a passionate climate activist and a patriotic Democrat, or as Donald Trump will call me in a tweet tomorrow, a washed up, horseface, no talent hasbeen with low ratings. ‘Well, with all due respect sir, it takes one to know one.’ However, the biggest burn of the night came when the actress referenced protesters being dispersed with tear gas so that Trump could visit St John’s Church for a photo opportunity. Julia, who played the vice president on Veep, has known Biden for years (Picture: C-Span) Louis-Dreyfus said: ‘Just remember, Joe Biden goes to church so regularly that he doesn’t even need tear gas and bunch of federalised troops to get there.’ However, the star – who acted as Veep’s Selena Meyer alongside Biden in a skit for the 2014 White House Correspondents’ Dinner – split opinion with her comedy. Journalist Ali Vitali tweeted: ‘ok so I love JLD but what’s worked with the hosts thus far has been they move things along, but have no competing messaging or agenda. Here, the jokes feel mismatched from the otherwise somber and serious tone these nights have had.’ Others called her jokes ‘cringe’, while one tweet claimed the jokes were ‘reinforcing Dems’ condescending elite image’.

What a great woman to wrap up 4 days of hosts and a spectacular #DemConvention.’ Numerous tweets called the Emmy Award winner a ‘national treasure’ and one tweet read: ‘Mockery and humour are great weapons in politics, especially against Trump.’ Louis-Dreyfus followed Eva Longoria, Tracee Ellis-Ross and Kerry Washington in hosting the final night of the convention, which has seen Biden and Harris officially selected as the Democratic nominees. The US presidential election will take place on November 3.
