The Parting Shot with H. Alan Scott
News:Entertainment News
After a nearly two-year hiatus, the Max-original Emmy Award-winning series ‘Hacks’ is back. And Hannah Einbinder, who plays Ava, the comedy writer to legendary—and difficult—stand-up comic Deborah Vance (Jean Smart), used the time off to figure out how to be a person again. “I went on the road, I did stand-up, but I kind of had to fill in the rest of my time with various hobbies and things. It made me go like, ‘OK, I gotta like be a person. Do sh** that isn’t just work,’” Einbinder told Newsweek’s H. Alan Scott. Now that the dark comedy series is in its third season, Einbinder is no longer intimidated by Smart. “At this point in our relationship it’s familial close.” And now Einbinder has more than just Hacks in the works, she will also debut her first stand-up comedy special this June on Max. But she gives the credit to ‘Hacks’: “It is single handedly because of this acting gig. That boosted the visibility for me to be able to tour and develop. To run an hour, to sharpen it, it’s hard to get that opportunity. I am so grateful to do that and to work it out in a way that is not common. I hope people like it.”
