Jean Smart is a fading comedian who wonтАЩt give up her long-standing Las Vegas residency without a fight in the new HBO Max series тАЬHacksтАЭ.
Created by тАЬBroad CityтАЭтАШs Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky, the 10-episode series focuses on SmartтАЩs Deborah Vance, a stand-up comic whose best jokes are behind her. Shilling kaftans and pizzas for QVC, VanceтАЩs act needs some new blood if sheтАЩs to keep her Las Vegas residency so her agent sets her up with a 25-year-old entitled comedy writer (Hannah Einbinder) with the hope of invigorating her act and helping her appeal to a younger crowd.
