  VERITAS is one of the world's most sensitive detectors of astrophysical VHE
(Very High Energy; E > 100 GeV) gamma rays. This array of four 12-m imaging
atmospheric-Cherenkov telescopes has operated for ~10 years, and nearly 5000
hours of observations have been targeted on active galactic nuclei (AGN). These
studies of blazars and radio galaxies have resulted in 36 detections. Most of
these detections are accompanied by contemporaneous, broadband observations,
which enable detailed studies of the underlying jet-powered processes. Recent
highlights from the VERITAS AGN observation program and scientific results are
presented.
