Asked by a reporter what her favorite part of the evening was, Louis-Dreyfus didn’t hesitate: “Look who I’m sitting next to,” she said.
That prompted the vice president to interrupt the conversation: “Hey, stop screwin’ around, she’s my date!” Biden said, according to the pool reporter stationed in the room. He started laughing and added, “Just kidding.”
