Hannah Einbinder (born May 21, 1995)[1] is an American actress and comedian known for starring in the Max series Hacks, for which she received the Critics' Choice Award for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series as well as three Primetime Emmy Awards nominations and three Golden Globe Awards nominations.

Early life and education

[edit]

Einbinder is the daughter of original Saturday Night Live cast member Laraine Newman and actor Chad Einbinder.[2] Her family is Jewish and she grew up in Los Angeles.[3]

As a teenager, Einbinder was a competitive cheerleader.[4] Einbinder graduated from Beverly Hills High School[5] and went on to study broadcast journalism at Chapman University before earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in television writing and production.[6][4] At Chapman, Einbinder joined the school’s improv team and had her first experience with stand-up comedy when she opened for Nicole Byer for a campus show.[4][5]

Career

[edit]

In 2019, Einbinder appeared in the Just for Laughs festival's New Faces showcase and was named by National Public Radio as one of the 10 standout comedians to watch.[7] She was also named one of Vulture's best new up-and-coming comedians to watch in 2019; she was recognized for "her refreshingly absurdist charm."[8] The same year, she was among the "New Faces of Comedy" at Just For Laughs.[9]

She made her national television debut in March 2020 on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert[10] and at the time was the youngest person to do a stand-up set on the show. It was the show's last on-stage stand-up performance for fifteen months, as the COVID-19 pandemic began soon after the episode aired.

In 2021, Einbinder co-starred as Ava in Hacks on HBO Max, together with Jean Smart and Carl Clemons-Hopkins.[11][12] The show received a total of 15 Emmy nominations, including acting nominations for Einbinder, Smart, and Clemons-Hopkins.[13] It was renewed for a second season in June 2021, premiering on May 12, 2022.[14][15] Season 3 premiered in 2024. Season 4 is expected to premiere in May 2025.[16]

Einbinder was on Variety's List of "10 Comics to Watch for 2021".[17]

Einbinder continues to perform stand-up comedy and toured nationally during the summer of 2022.[18]

In June 2024, Max released her debut stand-up special, Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go.[19]
