“#Doing Comedy in ‘Hacks’ Was a Childhood Dream Realized for Jean Smart<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

Did you hear the one about the fading stand-up legend who needed a snarky twenty-something to boost her career? <\/span><\/p>\n

As Sin City\u2019s bawdy Deborah Vance, Jean Smart is en route to a painful punchline. \u201cShe has gotten complacent,\u201d Smart says. \u201cMaybe her material is a little dusty.\u201d So when the owner (Christopher McDonald) of the casino where Deborah performs in residence threatens to cut her dates, the star\u2019s manager (Paul W. Downs, also a co-creator) introduces her to desperate-for-work comedy writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder), who\u2019s been blackballed from the industry after tweeting a racy joke about a closeted U.S. senator. <\/span><\/p>\n

A collaboration may benefit them both, but the women resent each other from the outset. \u201cAva is an uncompromising person who has recently been forced to compromise [by taking this job],\u201d Einbinder says. And prideful Deborah bristles at working on her act with someone else. After all, she\u2019s been writing her own material for four decades! <\/span><\/p>\n

Cue what Einbinder calls the \u201cFriars Club zingers\u201d between the two. On Ava\u2019s way out of Deborah\u2019s opulent home after their first meeting goes south, Ava quips, \u201cSo cool that they let you move into a Cheesecake Factory.\u201d Deborah fires back: \u201cOh, is that where you wait tables? Seems like a better fit.\u201d Their ensuing salvo contains words we can\u2019t print, but those insults \u2014 some of them ad-libbed \u2014 are \u201cthe most fun part of the show!\u201d says Smart. \u201cI might feel bad if Hannah and I didn\u2019t get along so well.\u201d

Despite the hostility, Smart says, a \u201cstrange friendship\u201d develops as the two navigate the industry, their worlds intertwined (Ava even accompanies Deborah to a plastic surgeon). But the veteran remains the alpha dog, reminding Ava, \u201cWe don\u2019t work together. You work for me.\u201d<\/p>\n

The role is a childhood dream realized for Smart, a Phyllis Diller fan who once dressed as the icon for a costume party. \u201cI was the family ham,\u201d recalls Smart, who is also starring on the HBO drama Mare of Easttown<\/i>. \u201cYou look at pictures of our childhood, who\u2019s making a goofy face? That was me!\u201d So when the actress stepped onstage to perform Deborah\u2019s set, she felt a rush. \u201cOne of the most satisfying things about doing comedy is you make people laugh,\u201d says Smart. Come May 13, when Hacks <\/i>debuts, she can expect roars from living rooms everywhere.<\/p>\n
