Wayne Newton gushed about Hacks Season 1 and ended up with a Season 2 guest role

Los Angeles Magazine

The Las Vegas icon, whom Deborah Vance name-dropped in Season 1, plays himself in the second season. “We heard that Wayne had seen the show and we thought it was a good representation of Las Vegas and loved it so we said, ‘Okay hunny, you want to be on?’” co-creator Lucia Aniello tells Los Angeles Magazine. “Wayne was such a fun sport and it was such a blast to have him on set.” Aniello adds: "He was totally willing to run with the punches, and we had a really fun time with him."
