A subreddit for the Emmy-winning Max dark comedy series Hacks created by Paul W. Downs, Lucia Aniello and Jen Statsky and starring Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder. Season 3 premieres May 2, 2024.
What are some actors you'd like to see on Hacks?
Denis Leary or Steve Buscemi as a hacky comedian (with joke stealing allegations) who has taken Deborah's place as the headliner comedian at Marty's casino.
Also a Pauly Shore cameo that's similar to Carrot Tops would be amusing.
I know this would be kind of cheesy but as a Designing Women fan from way back I would love to see Annie Potts make an appearance.
My first thought is that I’d love to see Delta Burke play a former rival.
That would be a good one.
This!!!! Or Meshah or Delta!!!
I mean and of course Bernice and Julia but RIP…
Unfortunately Meshach Taylor passed 10 years ago.
Oh no!!! Sorry to hear, he was sooooo good on that show
He was great. This is my favorite scene with Anthony, Charlene’s whole family came in to hear her sing and she had introduced them just before she left.

More real-life Vegas performers making cameos (like Carrot Top, which was great to see). Maybe Penn/Teller, an Osmond, Newton, etc. to make it more Vegas-authentic.
Wayne Newton was in the first episode of season two in the MMA fight scene. (I didn’t put it together until the credits because of all the plastic surgery he’s had)
Found Denis Leary’s burner
Where the hell has he been?
Kate Berlant & Patti Harrison!
I want Margaret Cho to come back on.
I said this in another thread but I would love for Rachel Bloom to be in the show.
Ilana and Abbi. I need that Broad City reunion.
Denis Leary is a an excellent suggestion… he fits the vibe of the show.
Kate Berlant is a deep NEED
Annie Potts and Delta Burke of course!!! Also George Newbern
Well now Harry Styles has to be a special guest since he’s such a big fan. I would like to see Usher, Christina Aguilera, and Britney.
Dana Gould would be fun (either as himself or my dream scenario of Deborah appearing on Hanging with Doctor Z)
More realistically, anybody from Barry would crush. (especially Anthony Carrigan, Sarah Goldberg, Stephen Root, and Henry Winkler)
Elvira and Maggie Smith, not necessarily together
Jane Fonda e Rick Gervais
Bill Burr. He's obviously got the comedic chops, but he can also bring the drama (like Denis Leary).
