Actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus on Thursday kicked off the final night of the Democratic National Convention with a comedy monologue mocking President Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.

The “Veep” and “Seinfeld” star presented faux confusion about how to pronounce “Pence” with universal basic income activist Andrew Yang, as the pair praised Joe Biden’s running mate Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.).

“I cannot wait to see [Harris] debate our current vice president, Mica Paentz, or is it Paints?” Louis-Dreyfus asked.

“It’s pronounced Ponce, I believe,” Yang said.

“Oh, some kind of weird foreign name?” she said, apparently mocking the Trump administration’s positions on immigration.

“Yeah, not very American sounding,” Yang agreed.

“Yeah, that’s what people are saying — strongly,” Louis-Dreyfus added with Trumpian inflection.

The actress who portrayed a disorganized vice president in the HBO hit urged viewers to back Biden, and to send a text message to a campaign account.

“An easy way to remember 30330 is that’s the year Donald Trump will finally release his tax returns,” she laughed.

Louis-Drefyus also jokingly suggested that there would be an extra night added to the convention.

“These last few nights have been going so well we decided to add a fifth night where we will just play Michelle Obama’s speech on a loop,” she said.

The actress did turn sincere for part of her performance, telling viewers that she first met Biden after giving an interview for the Amtrak magazine Arrive, which he presumably read while taking the train between Washington and Delaware.

“The day it came out my phone rang,” she said. “And it was the vice president telling me he loved the cover and the whole article, and that it was one of the best issues of Arrive he had ever read. And it’s just one of the many reasons that I wanted to be here tonight for Joe, and to remind you that Joe Biden not only knows how to read, but also, he reads everything.”
