How Insulting Jean Smart Led Hannah Einbinder to Book ‘Hacks’
Ойын-сауық
So much of what makes “Hacks” work is the chemistry between its two central characters, played by Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder. The HBO Max comedy hinges on the connection between these two seemingly disparate women So how did this pair find that connection? By lobbing insults at each other in the dark.
The very first interaction between comedians Deborah Vance (Smart) and Ava (Einbinder) in the pilot swiftly unravels into a sparring match. This moment was so pivotal to establishing the duo’s relationship that it became the audition scene for actors vying for the part of Ava. Watch as the the two discuss nailing the chemistry they captured in that first audition.

One of the best shows I’ve seen in a LONG time. Impossible not to binge.
Jean Smart will be a double Emmy winner for “Hacks” and “Mare of Easttown”!

I'm kinda worried both Jean Smart and Julianne Nicholson will both be nominated and that'll ruin their chances both.
Jean & Hannah may have the LEAST fake work-relationship in Hollywood and it's so MFing refreshing. Thank you ladies for being you.
Hacks is brilliant dialogue, great humor and wonderful chemistry.
Loved it. I have never binge watched any entire series before this one. And I have no regrets. Hannah has her mom's (Laraine Newman) comedic chops. Jean and Hannah have mad chemistry. Cannot wait for season 2. 💕
SEASON 3! SEASON 3!!!! and 4 and 5 and 6!
I have been a Jean Smart fan forever! She is such a great actress and comedian.I would watch her in anything
_Hacks_ is one of the great surprises of the year. The JeanSmart-aissance continues & it's cool to see Laraine Newman's kid break through.

Hacks is GREAT!! So happy to see Jean get so many good parts lately. I’ve been a fan forever!! 💖
I believe Jean Smart will be a double Emmy winner for “Hacks” and “Mare of Easttown “!
The two of them work so well together. They are hilarious!
So refreshing as a concept, pithy characters, well written female roles and superbly performed, loved loved loved loved the whole Shabang! 🤩🤩🤩
I never really paid attention to Jean Smart until she played Lana Gardner on Fraiser. I wish I could have her scream "Kirby" as my ring tone. In any event, I knew she was talented but I didn't realize how talented she is until Hacks. Goodness. Wow - she's one of my favorite actresses now. She's so great that I honestly thought she'd done a lot of stand-up earlier in her career. I don't know if Hacks was originally written for her, but she sure makes it seem like it was.

She’s incredible - I’m a fan now
Jean Smart is a beautiful woman and I'd die happy just watching her read a phone book. She is incredibly dry and brilliant as Deborah Vance in Hacks which is a godsend for this Jean Smart stan(Smarties!).
Hacks is amazing, Jean and Hannah are amazing, can not wait to see more of them!
Jean Smart rules, I love that awesome 'older' actresses are getting great roles and kicking ass.
Found it, binged it, love it
Jean is one of the great comediennes - long before this - on Designing Women. Since that show, wow, she's just a phenomenal actress. Loved her in Fargo.

Absolutely love this show. Jean Smart as Debbie Allen is astounding. She has great comedic timing and the kind of gravitas that brings this character to life, not to mention smart and beautiful to boot. You can tell that Hannah Einbinder is clever too, they have good chemistry together.
I love this show!
Jean Smart is a fabulous actress! Love her.
great show and love me some jean smart!!!
I really enjoyed this first season and can't wait for the continuation! I do hope we can get a bit more actual standup comedy so we can really feel how Deborah's new show they're writing is different, rather than just giving one line and then alluding that is was better. 'Crashing' pulled off getting quite a bit of actual standup in the show, and I hope Hacks can do the same! :D
Love this sooooo much!
love this show, love!
I absolutely love HACKS ✨💖✨🥂🍿
Love this show! It is about 2 strong woman talking about things other than whether men think they’re pretty!

I pray for Ms. Smart and her loss, and beg for this comedy series to have seasons 3 through 10?! We need smiles and this show causes smiles. I'm on my 3rd benge watch of the 1st two seasons;).
It’s amazing how much Hannah looks and sounds like her mother.
This show is so good.
Could’ve listened to them for hours honestly.
Fabola! Love this show. More More More!
Great show. Dixie must be watching & giggling.
This fantastic show plus Ted Lasso has given me hope that Television has stopped insulting our intelligence.

People are so petty and sad. Hannah is great in this. Parents or not so I'm guessing her talent and chemistry with Jean is what booked her the role
Clickbait title without a payoff.

Pretty sure Jean Smart has some creative and/or executive involvement in this show, and who would be her main scene partner, and she certainly wouldn’t have been ok with casting someone because of who their mother is.

@@csmith5420 Really? Pretty sure Jean is happy to have a gig and will go with what the new comedic coolies say. This show is saved by Jean. I don't dislike "Ava" or the comedian who plays her. And, tbh, her Colbert appearance wasn't bad at all~! But, this Beverly Hills HS grad is truly the definition of entitled. And, this is a show that is also patiently pc. That pc "checking all the boxes" vibe kills comedy.
Jean Smart is brilliant. The other one? Meh.
Man hannah's character is the most annoying character ever on tv. I dont know if that's how she really speaks or if its the character. I hope that's her character arc... Annoying to tolerable. But decent show
It's boring, w mediocre writing, and actually funny rarely. Jean Smart saves the show every episode. She is a pro. I think the woman who plays Smart's daughter is very good.
