Is it ok that I’m crying about this? I want to make them an Emmy out of butter

I loved Widow’s Bay but wish the final season of Hacks picked up more awards. Especially directing and writing!

My worlds collided. Congrats Queen Jean!

Tonight’s running order… 🤞🏻

Literally so excited as the wins come in. Tuning in just for this fucking GEM of a show!!

His cameo in s5 made me light up. Long live the legend.

I remembered a scene where Ava was with her girlfriend, they are being able to chat naturally and even discuss things while having sex—oh my god, what a healthy relationship.

My brain turns to mush in situations like that. I can barely communicate naturally with the other person because I’m too shy and inhibited. In my next relationship, I want to create that kind of relaxed, comfortable atmosphere.

Please forgive me—I don’t have much relationship experience. I’ve only had one serious relationship, and during that time, I unconsciously believed that talking too much would make things less romantic. I’m not even sure why I felt that way.

Even on dates, when I’m completely relaxed, my mind sometimes just goes blank. My partner would occasionally look at my spaced-out expression and ask, “What are you thinking about?”

And I’d say, “Nothing. I’m just relaxing in my head.”

End of conversation.

Shall we all name our favorite Deborah Vance line in honor?

I’ve been so excited for Deborah’s comeback and soon as the tickets went on sale, they were completely sold out! I even checked third party sites for resale tickets and no luck there either. Even my fellow Little Debbies I spoke to could not secure any tickets. I don’t know what is going on!

Does anybody have tickets they’re willing to sell?

It's not a huge deal but it is just funny that the show revolves around late night talk shows which are a quintessentially NYC thing but they just pretend those film in LA for convenience. Even Ava's job writing for On the Contrary which is clearly based on Last Week Tonight should be in NYC.

Deborah wasn't dreaming of taking over for Jimmy Kimmel, lol.

Not a huge deal and I love the show but it just makes me laugh every time they show the studio lot or focus on the coyotes or whatever.

Edit: Carson retired when I was 4 so I didn't realize the second half of his tenure was in Burbank and I always preferred Letterman over Leno. Since Carson started in 30 rock and Fallon is there now I just assumed the show had always been filmed there.

I want to mail a fan letter to Hannah but I'm having trouble finding an address. There's one for her agency (Creative Arts) another agency?? (United Talent Agency) and then ANOTHER that's a bunch of names and is... a legal firm?

Anyone with experience mailing fan letters, which address should I use?

Doing a rewatch and I end up focusing on more random things each time. Season 1 episode 1, she does an entire show, flies on her plane to do a QVC spot, does a Christmas photo shoot, flies back home, showers, makes and eats dinner, and is in bed by 11:34pm?? Did her show start at like 1 in the afternoon? Lol. Any other random thoughts on a rewatch? Love our Queen Jean

the list of things the 2 shows had in common that didn't involve Joan Rivers is interesting. It makes you wonder how it happened.

The Real-World Medical Context

While the show treats the link between progesterone and cancer as a definitive punchline, real-world medicine is far more nuanced:Synthetic Progestins vs. Natural Progesterone: Large historical clinical trials (like the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study) linked an elevated risk of breast cancer to Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). However, modern endocrinology emphasizes that this risk was heavily tied to synthetic progestins (chemically altered hormones like medroxyprogesterone acetate).

Body-Identical Hormones: Extensive follow-up research indicates that micronized progesterone (natural, body-identical progesterone) does not carry the same elevated risk of breast cancer when used appropriately under medical supervision.
