On Jimmy Kimmel Live! The show, the show’s co-creator, co-author, co-director and actor Paul W. Downs talked about how they wanted the legendary singer to act as himself in the series, starring Jean Smart, portraiting Deborah Vance, comedian-facing-talk show host.
“Well, especially someone we asked to be on the show’s seasons 1, 2 and 4 – and that person is Cher,” Downs revealed.
Discussing the measures they took to convince Cher after Believe Hitmaker’s team advised them to mention her ice cream brand, Cherlato, Downs, who plays the role of Deborah’s manager Jimmy in Hacks, mentioned:
“So we wrote an advertisement for Cherlato. Deborah (Jean Smart) was going to Cherlato Factory, she would taste the whole Cherlato, she would love Cherlato and when it came down to shoot, we got a passport.”
“Now people usually say, ‘I love the show, but I don’t have time respectfully.’ Once, Javier Bardem said, ‘I can’t say yes right now,’ which is Spanish for ‘No.’ And then we said, ‘Is there any feedback?
This situation is written for hacks with the characters on screen trying to get Cher on Deborah’s talk show in the evening, but she rejects the offer.
