Hannah Einbinder plays Ava Daniels, a 25-year-old bisexual comedy writer hired to freshen up Deborah's act. The show also features Carl Clemons-Hopkins as Deborah's COO Marcus, Kaitlin Olson as Deborah's daughter D.J., Paul W. Downs as Deborah and Ava's agent Jimmy, Megan Statler as Jimmy's assistant Kayla, and Poppy Liu as Deborah's personal blackjack dealer.

Hacks / int_1282bf4f	type	No Celebrities Were Harmed
Hacks / int_1282bf4f	comment	No Celebrities Were Harmed: While there are many inspirations for Deborah, most critics took her as a thinly veiled Joan Rivers. Like Joan, Deborah is a glamorous blonde showbiz veteran with a similar style of humor, she has a home shopping empire and she came close to being the first female star of late night until her career was destroyed by scandal.

Jimmy himself is arguably just as much a nepotism baby as Kayla (their fathers were both partners in the company, though his is deceased) but he takes his job much more seriously, especially because he's very self-conscious about being known for his father.

Hacks / int_415b3315	comment	Stylistic Suck: Deborah can still command a stage and kills with her audience but what we see of her Vegas show is very hackneyed, with out-of-date punchlines and dated delivery. Drew, the sexist stand-up that Deborah humiliates, uses so many hack sexist jokes when introducing her that she immediately knows he has no future in comedy. We are told often that Deborah's new confessional material is bombing in its early run, but if anything they underplayed how bad it is. The bits we see are still using Deborah's old-school style and clashes horribly with the material, which itself is depressing, with weak punchlines.

Hacks / int_b6ec7566	comment	Twofer Token Minority: Deborah's assistant Marcus is a black gay man. His boyfriend is also a man of color, played by a Latino actor. Ava's ex-girlfriend Ruby is Latina. Both the lesbians who Ava (nearly) hooks up with on the cruise are women of color, one with East Asian ancestry, the other olive-skinned with an unknown ethnicity.

Hacks / int_c35e9107	comment	LOL, 69: When Deborah offers a sexist comic a huge check to stop performing comedy, she pointedly makes it "one point sixty-nine million" to mock his dopey sense of humor.

Hacks / int_f9f2c33	comment	Running Gag: When Ava and Deborah first meet, Deborah says that Ava has abnormally large hands, which Ava finds to be a bizarre and inaccurate insult. In the season one finale, Deborah shows Ava a picture of her that emphasizes her large hands and says she's "extraterrestrial." Ava comes clean about realizing that she does have large hands and can easily palm a basketball. In season two, Deborah looks at a caricature of Ava and says the artist was merciful about her hands. Ava confesses that she hid them in her pockets.
