Deborah Vance, a legendary Las Vegas–based stand-up comedian, needs to reinvent her aging act to avoid losing her residency at the Palmetto Casino. Ava Daniels is a young comedy writer who is unable to find work due to an insensitive tweet and her reputation for being self-centered and arrogant. When Ava's agent sends her to work as Deborah's new head writer, the two slowly bond as Ava pushes her new boss to take more risks and Deborah, in turn, helps Ava start to work through her personal problems.

Production
In May 2020, HBO Max announced that it had picked up the series and that Jean Smart would star.[8] Additional casting was announced in February 2021.[9] Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, actors held table reads over Zoom, there were no cast parties during production, and stars Smart and Clemons-Hopkins did not even meet each other in person until minutes before the pilot was filmed.[10] In June 2021, HBO Max renewed the series for a second season,[2] and the cast added Laurie Metcalf, Martha Kelly, and Ming-Na Wen in recurring roles and Margaret Cho as a guest star.[11]

Downs were promoted to series regulars in the third season after having recurring roles since the first season.[16] In February 2024, it was announced Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks, Christopher Lloyd, Dan Bucatinsky, George Wallace and Tony Goldwyn would guest star in the third season.[17] In March and April 2024, Aristotle Athari and J.
