This is the Queerty Interview, where we bring you conversations with the most exciting LGBTQ+ voices in entertainment, activism, and beyond. Cameron Scheetz, Entertainment Editor at Queerty, hosts today’s episode featuring the hilarious Megan Stalter ahead of the fifth and final season of Hacks.

Since the beloved Emmy-winning comedy premiered in 2021, Megan has established herself as one to watch. She plays the scene-stealing Kayla, a former assistant at Deborah Vance’s management company, whose frequently questionable but always well-intentioned methods have helped her climb the ranks in the industry.

Now working alongside her former boss Jimmy, played by Paul W. Downs, Megan reflects on her time with the show. She credits Hacks, and specifically Paul, for giving her the career she has today, sharing what it’s meant to act opposite him and learn from him every step of the way.

And while we wouldn’t dare spoil where things go in this final season, we had to ask Megan what she thinks Kayla’s idea of a happy ending would be, which, of course, involves Jimmy.

Megan was also recently a guest of honor at the annual Queerties Awards, where she received the Vanguard Award, recognizing her work as one of the leading queer voices in comedy. On the red carpet, she told us that if the night goes well, she might consider a run for president. Naturally, we had a few follow-up questions.
