OUTSTANDING WRITING FOR A COMEDY SERIES


Brittani Nichols for (“Karaoke”), Abbott Elementary
Carolyn Lipka for (“Mrs. Table”), Hacks
John Hoffman & Joshua Allen Griffith for (“Once Upon a Time in the West”), Only Murders in the Building
Bill Lawrence, Neil Goldman & Brett Goldstein for (“The Last Thanksgiving”), Shrinking
Marika Sawyer for (“Sleep Hypnosis”), What We Do in the Shadows

AND THE WINNER IS:


CAROLYN LIPKA FOR ("MRS. TABLE"), HACKS

This is the first win and nomination for Carolyn Lipka.

Hacks four years into it's series run continues to showcase some of the sharpest and immediate laugh inducing comedy series writing currently airing on television. The sixth episode entitled "Mrs. Table" during this fourth season was an especially great episode from the series and easily picks up this prize for me. This season managed to be far more comedic and dramatic simultaneously with this sixth episode accomplishing just that with the workplace experience Ava was subjected to.

The 'Mrs. Table' scene which the episode's title derives from is an especially humourous moment featuring Hannah Einbinder at her best comedically that I will laugh just thinking of her Ava yelling and eventually quitting on her writers room. Carolyn Lipka whose been part of the writers team for her second straight season really did some great writing I'm sure with the rest of her team contributing a lot to this standout episode.
