Hannah Einbinder on her stand-up special, matching Jean Smart's freak and her love of Kylie Kelce

It’s Hannah Einbinder’s world, and everyone is just living in it. The world is actually just one of many hot — literally — topics the comedian takes on (for the last time) in her stand-up comedy special, “Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go.”

The special is streaming now on Max, which is also the home of her hit series, “Hacks,” in which she co-stars alongside Jean Smart.

Their work on "Hacks" is so acclaimed, it's caught the attention of other actors who would love a chance to share the screen with them.

But in "Everything Must Go," the focus is solely on Einbinder. She runs through everything with the audience from her birth origin story to the threats of climate change during the nearly hourlong special.

In an interview with TODAY.com, Einbinder dishes on the personal details of her special, her bond with Smart (including if they "match each other's freak") and, as a self-proclaimed Philadelphia sports fan, her love of the Kelces.

Why must everything go in Einbinder's 'Everything Must Go'?

Einbinder, 29, explains the meaning behind the name of her stand-up special, which begins as "the origin story" of her birth and ends with her grandmother's funeral.

"I do speak to the micro and the macro experience of life on Earth, which is, of course, threatened by climate change," she says.

Einbinder adds she also speaks to "the lifecycle — cycles, everything must go."

"It's also an allusion to the fact that I am burning all of this material," she continues. "I will never say any of these jokes again, I'm never going to do this hour again. I have no act to speak of: No worries, I'm not worried."

In the special, Einbinder wears an all-black ensemble, and fans also couldn't get enough of her incredible "hair movement."

Einbinder says the aesthetic for the special is "incredibly filmic."

"Myself and my director, Sandy Honig, and our incredible cinematographer, Adam Bricker, and our production designer, Elaine Carey, and our lighting designers, (Jonathan) Huggins and Brice Bradley, really collaborated on something that we wanted to feel unlike any stand-up special," she explains.

"We wanted it to feel filmic and cinematic and beautiful, and we wanted glow and that film grain and used really beautiful vintage lenses. We wanted it to feel like film."

As for her hair and makeup, Einbinder says her "incredible" makeup artist, Molly Greenwald, and her hairstylist, Jerrod Roberts, "killed it" in making her look "basically like the most elevated version" of herself.

"We've loved this flip that we've been doing," Einbinder says about her hair, adding they've been going for a "natural" makeup look.

"So we kind of just did that for the spesh," she says about her show.

Einbinder and Smart's 'instant connection' evolved into a 'deepened' relationship

Arguably the best part of "Hacks" is Einbinder's relationship with Smart. She portrays the young comedy writer Ava Daniels, who serves as the right-hand woman for Smart's Deborah Vance — a longtime comedian with a rejuvenated career, in part thanks to the work of Ava.

The show recently concluded its third season, which — spoiler alert — ended with Ava and Deborah's relationship in a rocky place. Deborah got a prestigious position as the host of a late-night TV show, and initially told Ava she wanted her as the head writer. Later, Deborah went back on her word and said Ava could just be a writer on staff, but not the head writer. Ava eventually turns her sadness and rage into blackmail and informs Deborah that she will, in fact, be her head writer, as Deborah wouldn't want anyone to find out about her tryst with the network's CEO. The tense scenes between Ava and Deborah pleased many of the show's fans, who have picked up on another kind of tension between the two.

"It's definitely a sexual season," Einbinder cracks after reading a fan post on social media about Deborah and Ava in Season Three, "and it's pretty intense just across the board."

"A lot of emotions and sparks flying through the air," she adds.

Einbinder commends the show's writing and says she and Smart mostly stick to the script but also improvise while filming their scenes.

The two have shared a special bond since "Hacks," which premiered during the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021, began.

Einbinder reflects on that time as her and Smart being "very off to the races, quickly."

"We really did have an instant connection and an instant trust because I think we had to be in this very close, tight-knit relationship with these characters," she explains. "It also is so innate, to her and myself, to just be kind of open as people. And so, that felt really compatible."

In 2022, Smart even selected Einbinder as one of the speakers at her Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony.

Einbinder says their relationship has "deepened" over time, but she feels the two have had "a pretty genuine understanding from the start."

One thing both Ava/Deborah and Einbinder/Smart have in common, according to Einbinder, is that they "match each other's freak."

Matching each other's freak is a trend that's taken over the internet in recent weeks, particularly as a viral sound on TikTok, and originates from a lyric in Tinashe's song "Nasty." Basically, the trend capitalizes on people, especially characters in pop culture, who bond over unique quirks and complement each other.

"I would say undoubtedly Ava and Deborah match each other's freak," Einbinder says.

"And I would also say that Jean and I do match each other's freak, but I do want to clarify that the freak in question is playing card games and ordering dinner," she continues. "It's, like, not crazy. When we say 'freak,' we're talking about that. It's like we're doing a Monopoly deal. We're going to Maggiano's."

The die-hard Philly sports fan is 'so supportive' of Jason Kelce and a 'huge' Kylie Kelce fanEinbinder's legion of fans don't just love her work, they love her allegiance to Philadelphia sports.

During a recent appearance on "The Late Show with Stephen Colbert," Einbinder looked back on a viral clip of her giving an interview to a local news outlet after watching the Philadelphia Eagles win a game at a California bar.

One of the most well-known Eagles players, Jason Kelce, announced his retirement in March. Einbinder says she's "so supportive" of him.

"I think he's given so much to the Philadelphia Eagles," she says. "Him and his family are such a forever royalty in the city of Philadelphia."

Einbinder says she's also a fan of his "fabulous" documentary, "Kelce."

"It really does a good job of letting people into the exact toll that football can take on someone's body over the course of a lifetime, while also examining his identity as related to being a football player — and what life after that looks like. It's very personal, and it's really great. And I think he's awesome."

Einbinder says she loves Kelce's "New Heights" podcast that he co-hosts with his brother, Travis Kelce.

She's also a "huge" fan of Jason Kelce's wife, Kylie Kelce.

"I think she's so cool," Einbinder explains, adding she loves the video that recently went viral of an alleged altercation between Kylie Kelce and a woman who appeared to scream at her as she and her husband walked through a parking lot in New Jersey.

"Save your breath; you’re embarrassing yourself," Kylie Kelce responds.

"She was telling that woman off," Einbinder says. "She's so sick. I want her to do that to me."
