The second season, which debuted in May 2022, finds the unlikely but lovable duo on the road as they try to workshop new material based on Vance’s life for a new comedy show. In Season 1, Vance reluctantly teams up with up-and-coming comedy writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder) in order to punch up her work-and also maybe save Ava’s career, too, after a mini-controversy caused it to stall. Also, if you haven’t seen Smart absolutely steal the show as Kate Winslet’s overbearing and overly critical mother in HBO’s Mare of Easttown, get on that as well.Īll of this is my long-winded way of saying that it was so very fitting that the first in-person industry event I decided to attend since the COVID-19 pandemic began was a For Your Consideration (FYC, for those in the biz) live table read of the Season 2 finale of Hacks, starring-you guessed it-Jean Smart.įor anyone unfamiliar with Hacks, it is a wonderful HBO Max comedy starring Smart (duh) as Deborah Vance, a legendary comedian trying to keep her comedy career afloat in a rapidly changing industry seemingly hellbent on leaving her behind.

Technically her renaissance began with HBO’s 2019 limited series Watchmen, which premiered just before shit truly hit the fan, in terms of “everything in the world.” But, to quote Billy Joel, “it was always burning, since the world's been turning.” So I am including it. But, if there is one thing I am extremely thankful for during this tough time, it’s the renaissance of the one, the only: Jean Smart. Look, the last few years have been… challenging to say the VERY least.
