Paul W. Downs on the hilarious way dear refused a “hacks” cameo

Despite the Hacks The best efforts of the creative team, it seems that Dear has not, AHEM, believed in the need for its role of cameo on the comic satire HBO max.

Earlier this week, the co-creator Paul W. Downs appeared on Jimmy Kimmel live To discuss the fourth season of the vehicle Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder winner of an Emmy, who arrives at her final of the season on Thursday. As the show is found in the world of end-of-evening comedy, stockings with the co-creators Lucia Aniello (to whom Downs is married) and Jen Stattsky was able to convince many famous people of Camée as themselves-Kimmel among them-but there have certainly been refusals, although perhaps null as brutally honest and funny than dear.

“Oh, yes,” said Downs when asked by the host if someone had refused an appearance. “Well, a particular person, we asked to be part of the seasons of show 1, 2 and 4 – and this person is expensive.”

THE Big city The former continued by explaining that the manager of Cher advised the team to write in the ice cream brand of the singer winner of a Grammy (a Portmanteau de Cher and Gelato) in the show, and accordingly, the musician would be “probably” accepting the role.

“So we wrote an advertisement for Cherlato,” said Downs with the laughter of the public. “Deborah [Smart] I was going to the Cherlato factory, she was going to taste all the dearlato, she was going to love the Cherlato, then when he went down, we had a pass. “”

He continued: “Now people generally say:” I love the show, but respectfully, I don’t have time. Once, Javier Bardem said: “I can’t say yes right now”, which is Spanish for “no”. And so we said: “Are there any comments? And his manager said:” Well, it’s Cher’s quote: I don’t want to do it. “”

“Well, at least she is honest,” Kimmel said in the middle of laughter.

Later in the interview, the two discussed Kimmel’s brief appearance in season 4, with Downs saying that “we would like more of you in the series”, to which the host replied: “I don’t think it’s true? Well, no one is called. I mean, I have a gelato that comes out, I would like you … “

Downs even brought some outings of Kimmel’s scenes, in which he died and personal with Smart’s actress, involuntarily inciting the actress to momentarily break the character.

As Hacks Conspecting his conclusion of season 4 impatiently, he will resume the implosion of “Late Night With Deborah Vance”; The penultimate episode saw Deborah forced in a moral and professional dilemma, in which altruism prevailed as it revealed live in the waves the censorship and the forced dismissal of her head writer Ava (Einbinder), leading to the Tony Goldwyn bomb in the mouth of the non-understanding clause of Tony Goldwyn for his batch of his bomb.
