‘Hacks’ Season 4 Set Boasts Unexpected Connection to ‘The Kelly Clarkson Show’
Actor Paul W. Downs recently shared an interesting detail regarding the set of Hacks Season 4, revealing a surprising link to The Kelly Clarkson Show. The revelation came during Downs’ appearance on Clarkson’s daytime program this Wednesday, where the pair discussed the connection, which also involves Steve Harvey.
Filming Location Swap
Clarkson informed Downs that the HBO comedy series is currently filming on the very studio lot that previously housed her talk show. Downs elaborated, noting that in the upcoming season, Jean Smart’s character, Deborah Vance, now has her own late-night show, which is being filmed on The Kelly Clarkson Show‘s former stage.
“Deborah’s office is your old office,” Downs stated, highlighting the direct overlap between the two productions’ spaces.
Shared Office and a Comforting Amenity
Both Downs and Clarkson expressed their amusement and appreciation for this unique connection. Clarkson playfully admitted to being a “fan” of the situation, which led her to inquire about a particular feature of the office. She asked Downs if Smart was “enjoying the heated toilet seat from Steve,” referencing a previous occupant’s legacy.
Downs admitted, “I have to tell you what. Not only is she, I did too,” confirming that the heated seat was indeed a shared perk on set.

Steve Harvey’s Lasting Impression

Origin of the Heated Seat
Clarifying the Steve Harvey reference, Clarkson recounted learning that the Family Feud host was responsible for the heated toilet seat. She explained that upon discovering the feature, she inquired “who installed” it, leading to the revelation.
Downs then questioned, “Oh, it was Steve Harvey?”
Clarkson affirmed, “Apparently before me, yeah. So thank you, Steve, for the warm bum,” adding a touch of humor to the anecdote.
