‘Hacks’ Breakout Robby Hoffman Joins Steve Carell’s New HBO Comedy (EXCLUSIVE)
The comedian, also seen in "Dying for Sex," joins the series from Bill Lawrence and Matt Tarses alongside actors Charly Clive and Danielle Deadwyler.
Hoffman began her career as a writer on shows like PBS’ “Odd Squad,” which won her a Daytime Emmy Award, as well as the CBC’s “Workin’ Moms” and TruTV’s “The Chris Gethard Show.” She also hosts the podcast “Too Far with Robby Hoffman.” She is repped by UTA, Jordan Tilzer at El Centro Management and Schreck Rose. The series logline calls the show “a comedy set on a college campus centering on an author’s (Carell) complicated relationship with his daughter (Clive).” Lawrence is the writer-producer behind such hits as “Ted Lasso,” “Shrinking” and “Scrubs,” the latter of which Tarses was a co-EP on (and is about to be revived). The comedy is executive produced by Lawrence, Jeff Ingold and Liza Katzer for Doozer, Tarses, Jonathan Krisel, Barbie Adler, Annie Mebane, David Stassen, Anthony King and Carell.
