From Jean Smart’s Heart Surgery to a Shocking Lesbian Episode, ‘Hacks’ Ends — and Cements Its Legacy as One of TV’s Best Comedies

It’s early on a warm January morning in Las Vegas, and the entire “Hacks” team — stars, crew, producers — is milling around Kyu, a sushi restaurant at the Fontainebleau. It’s going to be a busy day of filming, with three locations scattered around the city.
