Janet Charlton's HOLLYWOOD

Will life imitate art for Hacks star Jean Smart?  On the popular MAX series, Jean portrays Deborah Vance, a Joan Rivers type comedienne who fulfills her lifelong dream and hosts a top rated  talk show.  A show insider says that there’s only one more season of the series planned and once it concludes, Jean would like to wrap up her decades long career and host her OWN talk show.  Jean’s already been offered a deal for a syndicated show, but hasn’t signed on just yet. However,  if Hacks does end its run after its fifth season, Jean will likely fulfill her own dream and host her own show.
