Former cheerleader (yep, it’s true) Hannah Einbiner blew the f%*k up in the biz. My pal Dana Gould told me she was a funny stand-up, and I said, “Ok cool, I’ll check her out.” No sooner did we have that exchange than she landed a huge role on the HBO show “Hacks.” She plays Ava, the reluctant writer/protégé to Jean Smart’s Joan Rivers-like Deborah Vance. It’s heavy lifting for any actor, but Hannah pulls it off. It’s been cool watching someone so nice and funny go so far so soon, and it was fun to have her on the pod. She’s great, and I learned a ton about her life, outlook, and processes. 

THE CALLS: 

1) A (fellow) bisexual gal asks, “Can you find fulfilment in a relationship with just one gender?” (Spoiler alert: I answer this one for her) (KIDDING!) 

2) A lady feels like her mom’s sadness is dragging her down. How does she further herself when her mom won’t? 

3) We did a speed round of ‘Written in’ calls. Tune in and listen! Thanks, Mightys. Hope you enjoy.
