“#’Hacks’ Creators on How Jean Smart ‘Elevated’ Their Vision for the HBO Max Comedy<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

When it comes to HBO Max\u2019s new comedy Hacks<\/em>, it\u2019s all about Jean Smart. The actress embodies Deborah Vance, an aging comedia<\/a>n who finds herself in a precarious position to hold onto the power she has as a longtime residency act.<\/p>\n

Sarcastic and impatient, Deborah is pushed towards comedy writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) by their shared agent Jimmy (played by co-creator Paul W. Downs). \u201cJean Smart is so incredible and I really feel that she just elevated our vision for this character so much,\u201d Downs gushes. Smart\u2019s been on quite a roll with parts in HBO\u2019s other series<\/a> of late including Watchmen<\/em> and Mare of Easttown<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Set against the Vegas landscape, Hacks<\/em> tells a story of two women who have been ousted by an unforgiving industry but are still holding onto their comedy genius. \u201cIt\u2019s a kind of place where people go to get lost and go to have a lot of fun,\u201d Downs says of Vegas, \u201cbut when you\u2019re sequestered there and you live there, [Deborah]\u2019s kind of the queen of nowhere\u2026 Hopefully, it also echoes the theme<\/a>s of women who have been easily cast aside.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was a bit up in the air\u2026 we were like, \u2018Oh, if we could ever get Jean Smart, can you imagine?’\u201d co-creator Lucia Aniello recalls. \u201cIt was kind of a dream once she [was] attached to the pilot, we were able to write the season with her in mind. So to be able to write for somebody who you know can deliver the jokes, but you know also has the gravitas of an incredible actor gave us the freedom to write whatever we wanted.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIf you think about everything Jean had been in, the only criticism anyone ever has is \u2018I wish there were more of her,’\u201d fellow co-creator Jen Statsky adds. \u201cTruly she just steals these parts for years and years now. We\u2019re just so excited that now she is leading the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

Downs, Aniello, and Statsky have quite a resume between the three of them with ties to titles like Broad City<\/em>, Parks and Recreation<\/em>, and The Good Place. <\/em>But for Hacks<\/em>, this trio is tackling more than just laughter, it\u2019s also a story interwoven with plenty of drama and both Smart and Einbinder deliver on that front.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re both quite stubborn, but in the end, because they have this love and talent for comedy,\u201d Aniello says, \u201cthey are able to have enough of a bond that keeps them returning to each other.\u201d You\u2019ll come for the laughs, but it\u2019s the bond between Deborah and Ava that\u2019s the beating heart of this fresh series.<\/p>\n
