On Tuesday’s taping of "Watch What Happens Live," Bravo personality Andy Cohen confronted "Hacks" co-creator Paul W. Downs over a Season 5 jab at Cohen's personal life. Cohen asked Downs to explain the origin of this particular moment, showing a clip from the HBO Max show where Jean Smart's character, Deborah Vance, took aim at Cohen.
Smart as Vance said, "The problem with reality shows is you cannot control the narrative." Cohen visibly reacted, jaw dropped and nearly speechless, as his co-star Megan Stalter chimed in, trying to save him from the controversial line. Downs offered an explanation, cheekily noting that Jean Smart is an improviser and she can never be controlled.
Cohen then openly laughed off the moment, proving he wasn't offended. "Hacks" Season 5 holds the record for the most Emmy nominations for a comedy, receiving 24 nominations.
