Slightly more normal is Andrea’s brother, played by fellow Veep vet Nelson Franklin, and to keep the Veep party going, one of Andrea’s divorced parents is portrayed by sitcom extraordinaire Martin Mull, while her somewhat naive mother is played by Picket Fences familiar Kathy Baker.
To play the comparisons game, I’m Sorry works as a spiritual elixir of FX’s Better Things and HBO’s Curb Your Enthusiasm, but with regular appearances from the unflinchingly lewd Jason Mantzoukas, who singularly makes such comparisons moot.
Known best for The League and Brooklyn Nine-Nine (and the podcast How Did This Get Made?), Mantzoukas plays Andrea’s libidinous friend and writing partner Kyle, whose appearances on screen definitely implies a risqué part of the anatomy will become a topic of discussion.
