Jean Smart jokes that she doesn't get enough attention as she accepts Emmy for lead actress in a comedy
Jean Smart takes home the award for outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for her role in “Hack” at the Emmys.
“Thank you so, so much,” Smart began her speech. “It’s very humbling, it really is and I appreciate this because I — I just don’t get enough attention,” she joked.
Tonight’s win is Smart’s third for “Hacks.” She has won six Primetime Emmys in total.
More on the show: The Max comedy series follows aging stand-up comedian Deborah Vance (played by Jean Smart) who joins forces with the young comedy writer Ava Daniels (played by Hannah Einbinder) to save her act at a casino in Las Vegas.
In an interview with CNN’s Chris Wallace earlier this year, Smart said she was a bit apprehensive to play opposite Einbinder, a comedian in real life and the daughter of the “Saturday Night Live” original cast member Laraine Newman. Smart said she had never done standup comedy before taking on the role of the brilliant and biting comedian Vance.
