  It's on.

• 00:10

  Hi, everyone.

• 00:11

  From New York magazine and the Vox Media podcast network, this is on with Kara Swisher.

• 00:15

  And I'm Kara Swisher.

• 00:17

  We've had a slew of power women on on, and today we're keeping up that streak.

• 00:21

  Comedian and actor Julie Louis Dreyfus.

• 00:24

  She's obviously a comedy legend.

• 00:26

  I'm an enormous fan.

• 00:28

  She's won 11 Emmys, a record of eight she got for playing some of t most iconic female characters on three different sitcoms.

• 00:35

  Elaine Bennis in Seinfeld, Christine Campbell in the New Adventures of Old Christine, and of course, Vice President Selina Meyer in Veep.

• 00:43

  I don't know which one I like the most.

• 00:45

  I like all the characters.

• 00:46

  I suspect Selina's my favorite character because she's real.

• 00:50

  Actually, I've met people like her, but my kids like Seinfeld.

• 00:55

  I love Seinfeld.

• 00:56

  It stays fresh even today.

• 00:57

  And she's probably my favorite character on that show besides Jerry Stiller and her scene.

• 01:02

  If you haven't, it's on YouTube of her and Jerry Stiller cracking each other up is one of the finest bits of comedy I've ever seen.

• 01:10

  She's been honored with the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor and the National Medal of Arts.

• 01:15

  She is a national treasure, obviously.
