Jean Smart Rips 'Hacks' Co-Stars Over Bucket Lists and Kisses! | Spilling the E-Tea

This will destroy a life. I I need to kiss every member of the cast. We'll get

on that. Oh, I did a move on a poll as well that I don't know that I've yet recovered from. Where was this poll? It

recovered from. Where was this poll? It

was in the club, G. It was in the club.

Hi, we're the cast of Hacks and we're spilling the BT.

She's been doing this for 50 years.

You're not going to beat her at her own game.

Nobody beats Deborah. Okay, Jean, as you know, we go toeto- toe this season, so I need to know, spill the ET, what was your first impression of me when we

first met? And more importantly, how has

first met? And more importantly, how has that impression changed now that you've known me a few years?

A I I honestly thought you were absolutely adorable and extremely funny and talented, and that opinion has only grown. And I mean

that. I love you. I love you, too. I can

that. I love you. I love you, too. I can

I can attest. She called us and said it.

Well, there you are. That's right. From

the from the day you met. I witnesses.

That's right. Come on now. Yay. Thank

you. No, it's got to seem like it's their idea. Okay, fine. Do what you

their idea. Okay, fine. Do what you want. I'll just be quiet and keep eating

want. I'll just be quiet and keep eating these cookies. Those are dog biscuits. I'm

cookies. Those are dog biscuits. I'm

aware they're delicious. Paul. Yes.

Putting you on the spot here. Oh gosh.

Why were Hannah and I obviously your number one picks for these roles? And

had we said no, who else might be on this series right now? Oh, this will destroy a life. This will destroy a life. That's absolutely why I love it.

life. That's absolutely why I love it.

It's worse to even know. Well, there

there were no there were no other choices. There are no other choices.

choices. There are no other choices.

Yes. There could never be. Um but but the reason that you were our first choices were Jean um we wanted the show to be a tone we hadn't really seen. We

wanted it to feel grounded but it's about a comedian who tells jokes. So we

needed someone who could land jokes and be really funny but also who could do dramatic emotional work really beautifully as well. And guess what to do both in equal measure. Sorry to say

gals it's not the longest list and Je was at the top.

You know, this would have been a huge waste of your time if I hadn't gotten it. I knew you would. Hannah, you read

it. I knew you would. Hannah, you read for the part. There was something about Hannah's very first read. We were like, she is different and she is really good.

And then it was really the chemistry read that I think sealed the deal. By

the way, so cool they let you move into a cheesecake factory. Oh, is that where you wait tables? That seems like a better fit. Oh, yeah. I agree. You

better fit. Oh, yeah. I agree. You

classist monster. Hannah. Yes.

Last season you had some steamy moments with Christina Hendris. And we know you have even spicier moments. Oh god. This

season with other people.

Who would you like us to cast for your next romantic adventure? Oh god. We'll

take notes. I I couldn't possibly say. I

mean, look. Yes, you could.

Whoever you think will be great, Leah Sadoo. Oh, please. Okay. Okay, let's go.

Sadoo. Oh, please. Okay. Okay, let's go.

You told ET that you have a five season plan for Hack, so you know how it's going to end. You kind of know when it's going to end. Yeah, we've always thought of it as five five chapters. What do we

have to do to convince you that five simply isn't enough? A Ferrari? No.

Um, well, you know, we we we pitched the the very last scene of the very last episode, but we've always kind of adjusted things as we went and figured things out as we went. So, while we know

I think the tent poles, things could always change. You know, things could be

always change. You know, things could be stretched, they could be shortened. Like

for example, I don't think we knew until we were writing it that like, oh, this whole season should be on the road for the second season, you know, and only at the very end will we come back and do the special and be back in Vegas. So, it

kind of it depends on the the story we're telling for each season.

Beautiful. But, you know, you have to get in there and open up the hood. Get

under the hood. That's right. Gone

around. And so, we're going to do that.

And we have a crazy time in Vegas. Spill

the ET and tell us your own story about something that happened in Vegas that maybe didn't stay in Vegas. Oh god. Sort

of an endless list. I feel every time I've been, it's been some form of horror in some way. Um, you know, I'll be I'll be honest, folks. my my college

roommates and I thought we were going to get away get away clean and and and game the system and we thought, oh, you know, we'll we'll go uh to Vegas on December

30th. So, we're not there for New

30th. So, we're not there for New Year's. We're there the night before.

Year's. We're there the night before.

Oh, and we'll do it on the cheap. And we

all said, "Great. There's a Whole Foods, you know, uh right outside the strip.

We'll have our meals there." You know, look, the hot bar the hot bar gave us food poisoning.

Od told me pretty tough bar. Yeah, I did a move on a pole as well that I don't know that I've yet recovered from. Oh.

Uh yeah, I don't want to hurt the lower back. That explains bravely. Um but

back. That explains bravely. Um but

yeah, it just Where was this pole? It

was in the club. It was in the club.

Okay. Yeah. So you signed up to be the entertainment or you know there was a poll and I I felt called kind of like karaoke for pole dancers kind of show up and do that's a fun premise thing. That

is a fun premise. It's called open pole night. Open pole is really good. Open

I don't think that sounds dull. How

could that be dull? You know, I spent 21 days on a cruise. It's It's, you know, it's not the typical cruise with, you know, all the stuff going on. You can

see land, which makes me feel a lot better about being on a river. I don't
