Paul W Downs is spilling the tea on a celebrity who turned an appearance on Hacks, not once but three times!
The 42-year-old star and co-creator of the hit Max series recently went on Jimmy Kimmel Live and revealed the A-List star who simply just doesn’t want to guest star on the comedy.
In the show’s fourth season alone, there have been several big name guest stars, including Helen Hunt, Tony Goldwyn, Rosie O’Donnell, Melissa Etheridge, Carol Burnett and more.

“Well, one person in particular we asked to be on the show Seasons 1, 2 and 4 — and that person is Cher,” Paul shared on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
He explained that Cher‘s team advised to write in mention of her ice cream brand Cherlato and she would be more likely to say yes.
“So we wrote a commercial for Cherlato,” Paul said. “Deborah (Jean Smart) was gonna go to the Cherlato factory, she was gonna taste all the Cherlato, she was gonna love the Cherlato, and then when it came down to shoot, we got a pass.”
“Now, people usually say, ‘I love the show, but respectfully, I don’t have time.’ Once, Javier Bardem said, ‘I cannot say yes right now,’ which is Spanish for ‘no.’ And so we said, ‘Is there any feedback? Can we change the script?’ And her manager said, ‘Well, this is the quote from Cher: I don’t want to do it,’” he added.
Jimmy Kimmel has also appeared on Hacks in season four!
