Jean Smart Makes A Totally Relatable HBO Mix-Up After Emmys Win: 'Just What We Needed'
HuffPost
The "Hacks" star poked fun at the streaming service that's home to the Outstanding Comedy Series winner.
Jean Smart used her Emmys acceptance speech on Sunday to make light of whatever Warner Bros. Discovery is now calling its streaming service for her show.
The “Hacks” star, who won the Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series, began her remarks by joking that she appreciated the honor as she doesn’t “get enough attention.”
She then shared a number of thank you’s to those tied to the show, which won the Emmy for Outstanding Comedy Series later in the ceremony.
“Casey [Bloys] and Sarah [Aubrey] and everybody at HBO — Max, no, H — I’m sorry,” said Smart before letting out a sigh as the crowd laughed at the seemingly intentional mix-up.
She continued, “Just what we needed, another network.”
