‘Hacks’ Shatters Emmy Record for Most Nominations for a Comedy in History

main points:

The critically acclaimed [HBO Max](https://variety.com/t/hbo-max/) comedy about a fading Las Vegas legend and the millennial writer who brought her career back to life garnered 24 Emmy nominations for its fifth and final season.

That makes it not only the most nominated final season of a comedy in Emmy’s history, but the most nominated season of a comedy ever. The record was previously held by “The Bear” and then “The Studio,” which nabbed 23 noms for its freshman season just last year.
