About this show

Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) has blazed a trail through the male-dominated comedy scene for decades, hustling her way into a prime Las Vegas residency while simultaneously cultivating a successful brand of luxury items and endorsements. But after the casino owner threatens to pull back on her nights in favor of younger acts, Deborah's manager Jimmy (Paul W. Downs) pitches another one of his clients, recently outcast television writer Ava (Hannah Einbinder), to help freshen up her set. A brutally honest and unpredictably hilarious half-hour series, Hacks explores the dark mentorship that forms between the legendary comedian and her entitled new writing partner.
