Her jokes are kind of funny, but way past their expiration dates. When the series begins, her career is in decline. In "Hacks," she plays Deborah Vance, a comic who overcame a lot of the obstacles women comics of her generation faced and became a top act in Vegas, where she regularly performs at one of the big casinos.
Her comedic timing was obvious in the '80s sitcom "Designing Women," and in the early 2000s, when she won two Emmys for her guest-starring role in "Frasier." This week, she returns to comedy in the new series "Hacks" which premieres Thursday on HBO Max. Now, she's co-starring in the HBO crime and family drama "Mare Of Easttown" as the mother of Kate Winslet's character. Last year in the HBO series "Watchmen," she played an FBI agent. In the TV series Fargo," she played the hardened matriarch of a crime family. And as was recently noted in Entertainment Weekly, she excels at absolutely everything. My guest, Jean Smart, has been getting roles that really show off what she can do.
