Jean Smart Honored With Mary Tyler Moore Visionary Award at 2025 Variety FYC TV Fest: ‘I’m So Humbled and Honored’


At Variety's FYC TV Fest, Jean Smart was honored with the second annual Mary Tyler Moore Visionary Award.

The “Always Sunny” star revealed a surprise video message from Carol Burnett, who made a cameo in the most recent season of “Hacks.” “I’m so happy that Jean’s receiving Variety’s Mary Tyler Moore Award today. In addition to having personal ties to the Vision Initiative’s cause, Smart says she was honored to receive the award because of how highly she thinks of its namesake. Mary had one more thing that she said, which was ‘It’s not my business to care about what other people think of me.’ I had to look at that a few times, because first it sounded kind of humorous, but it’s true.
