My Weekend Crush

Look, I know Pride Month is officially over or whatever. But we all function on Queer Standard Time which means we’re taking an extra weekend. And since you clearly already finished the second season of “Hacks,” your small crush on Hannah Einbinder has likely blossomed. So please enjoy her network TV standup debut with Stephen Colbert back on March 7, 2020. Honestly, she must have been one of the show’s last live guests before the pandemic hit and, well, you know. It’s interesting to watch her talk about her daily, given that SNL great Laraine Newman is her mother. I love how her set conveys the slightly awkward, though clearly clever energy of her character Ava “Hacks.” And, I also love how she comes out with her bisexuality immediately. I loved Ava’s evolution in the second season, and I hope to see a lot more of that — and some non-coitus interruptus lesbian encounters. Happy weekend, all.
