How To Watch And Stream Hacks, Starring Jean Smart

Jean Smart's success with Hacks continues: The show received 17 nominations at the 2022 Emmys, including Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series for Smart—a category she won, just as she did in 2021.

"I wanted to be a stand-up comic when I was a kid. When I was in middle school, I went to a costume party as Phyllis Diller," Smart told T&C in May. "When my agent sent me the script, I said, 'You've ticked off that box on my bucket list.'"

The show, which also features Hannah Einbinder as Ava, a young writer tasked with refreshing Vance's material, quickly developed a devout following after it premiered last spring on HBO, and the hype around the show only grew with season two. HBO has already renewed the beloved comedy for a third season.

During her Emmys acceptance speech last year, Smart complimented her young costar, saying, "an unbelievable cast led by Hannah 'Mindbender' Einbinder—that's her actual name, no, I'm kidding. But I could not have asked for [a better] person to bounce everything off of everyday. I mean she's a natural, she's a precious human being, she's incredible and every day we got to work is a joy and the words we get to say are a joy."
