In Episode 4 of Hacks Season 4, Deborah Vance (JeanSmart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) finally debut the first episode of Deborah’s new talk show. But things quickly go off-script. During her opening monologue, Deborah has a panic attack, prompting Winnie (Helen Hunt) to arrange a check-up with a cardiologist.
While waiting for her appointment, Deborah is stunned to run into none other than comedy legend Carol Burnett, playing herself. The two remember each other, recalling a night together at the opening of Planet Hollywood.

"It's about time a woman wore the suit," Burnett says, referring to Deborah’s new stint as a late night talk show host. Deborah, visibly moved, thanks her for paving the way. "Your show—I would watch you do that and... it made me feel like I could do that," she tells her.
Deborah then asks if Burnett ever got stage fright. "Picture your audience naked... I know it's kind of creepy and as I got older, it's even nauseating so it didn't work for me. So I would just pick one person in the audience and do the show just for them," Burnett replies.

As she heads into her appointment, Burnett offers a few final words of encouragement: "You're going to be wonderful. You always are... except for that Lifetime movie you made in the '80s. I didn't care for that. Knock 'em dead, kiddo."
Burnett’s appearance marks a touching passing of the torch between two generations of trailblazing women in comedy. Known for The Carol Burnett Show—a landmark in sketch comedy—her brief but meaningful cameo to the episode.
