Break out Tom Cruise’s famous coconut cake, the wait is finally over. “Hacks,” TV’s funniest comedy about comedy, is back after a lengthy hiatus. The third season picks up a year after the events of Season 2, which saw Deborah (Emmy winner Jean Smart) fire her writing partner, Ava (Emmy nominee Hannah Einbinder), following the successful release of her comedy special so Ava could finally begin developing her own career.
The new season, the first two episodes of which are now streaming on Max, is as sharp and funny as ever as the two friends find their way back to one another when Deborah decides to have another go at hosting a late-night show. The enviable list of guest stars for the nine-episode season includes J. Smith-Cameron, Helen Hunt, Christina Hendricks and Christopher Lloyd. But it’s the chemistry between Smart and Einbinder — easily one of TV’s best...

Updated with latest: A good-sized earthquake rattled windows across Los Angeles at about 1:47 p.m. today. Preliminary reports put the temblor at 4.6 on the Richter Scale and have it centered about 7.7 miles southwest of Westlake Village. The Usgs said the quake occurred at a depth of about 10 miles. It was the largest such shake felt in that area in some time.
There was no immediate word of damage or injuries, but the area received about seven inches of rain in the past week, so local landslides may come to light in the coming hours.
Dr. Lucy Jones of the Usgs said the shock happened “very close to the Malibu Coast Fault” in “an an area that has had plenty of earthquakes in the past and is well understood to be seismically active.” Another Usgs official later said the quake may have been located on the nearby Anacapa-Dume Fault.
