My guest, Hannah Einbinder, is a comic who stars opposite Gene smart in the HBO and Max series Hacks.
This series is about the personality and generational conflicts, as well as the bonds between an older comic, played by smart, and a young comedy writer who works for her, played by Einbinder.
Einbinder has been nominated for two Emmy awards.
The show has won six.
Einbinder's mother, Lorraine Neumann, is an important figure in the comedy world.
Newman was an original cast member of Saturday Night Live and co founded the improv group the Groundlings.
Here's how Einbinder introduces herself in her new comedy special called Everything must go.
My mother had me when she was 42 because before that age she was busy.
See, my mother made the money in our house.
She was twelve years older than my father and refused to legally marry him.
What does being a woman mean to me?
It means being a man.
Einbinder's special touches on some pretty personal topics, which we'll talk about, including the impact of being diagnosed in high school with ADHD, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and then smoking marijuana to take the edge off the Adderall and coming out as bisexual.
Of course, we'll also talk about working with Gene Smart on Hax.
