Hannah Einbinder’S Emmy Win Shines Light On Her Iconic Hollywood Fam – Meet Her Snl Star Mom!

Hannah Einbinder’s Emmy Triumph in La-La Land

Hollywood’s buzzing, y’all! Hannah Einbinder, the 30-year-old actress and comedian, just scored her first-ever Emmy at the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday night. She nabbed the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her killer role in Hacks, strutting into the winners’ room arm-in-arm with co-star Jean Smart, who snagged her fourth straight Lead Actress trophy for the same show. Talk about a dynamic duo taking over the red carpet at the Peacock Theater!

This win was a long time coming after three nominations, and with Hacks possibly wrapping after its fifth season, it’s a sweet SoCal moment for Hannah. Her acceptance speech? Total fire. She wrapped it with a shout-out, 'go Birds, [expletive] ICE, free Palestine,' sparking major online chatter. Later, she opened up about signing a petition with 1,200 other entertainment industry peeps to boycott Israeli film institutions, showing she’s got convictions as strong as her comedy chops.

'I just felt it was important to use this platform to speak on issues that matter,' Hannah shared backstage, reflecting on her bold speech that had everyone in DTLA talking.

Comedy in Her Blood – Meet Mom, Laraine Newman

If you’re wondering where Hannah gets her funny bone, look no further than her mom, Laraine Newman – an absolute legend in the comedy game. Laraine, now 73, was part of the OG Saturday Night Live cast back in the ‘70s, cracking up audiences from coast to coast. Before SNL, she co-founded The Groundlings right here in LA, honing her improv skills with her sister (more on her soon) and landing a gig on a Lily Tomlin special at just 22.

After leaving SNL in 1980, Laraine didn’t slow down. She dabbled in journalism, acted in flicks like Invaders from Mars (1986) and Coneheads (1993), and then found her groove in voice acting for Pixar hits like Finding Nemo (2003), WALL-E (2008), and the recent Inside Out 2 (2024). She’s even set to voice in the upcoming 2025 film Dog Man. Laraine couldn’t hold back her pride when Hacks premiered, telling a major mag how thrilled she was for Hannah, who had zero acting experience before this role but rose to the occasion like a true Hollywood starlet.

From Studio City to the Emmys stage, Laraine’s legacy is clearly shining through her daughter. It’s like watching a comedy torch pass down right in the heart of Tinseltown – and we’re here for every laugh.

Dad’s Got Game Too – Chad Einbinder’s Showbiz Story

On the other side of the family tree, Hannah’s dad, Chad Einbinder, 62, is no stranger to the limelight either. Though he and Laraine tied the knot in 1991 and parted ways after 25 years in 2016, they raised Hannah and her sibling, actor Spike Einbinder, in the creative chaos of Los Angeles. Growing up in this city of stars, it’s no shock the kids caught the entertainment bug early.

Chad kicked off his career as a stand-up comic – sound familiar? – before popping up on small-screen faves like ER, Grey’s Anatomy, and 3rd Rock from the Sun, where he played the recurring character Rico. He’s also lent his voice to films like Doctor Dolittle and Tangled, plus directed and written for commercials and online content. Talk about a multi-talented fam!

With parents like these, Hannah was basically born with a VIP pass to the Hollywood Walk of Fame. Between Laraine’s SNL cred and Chad’s versatile career, her Emmy win feels like the cherry on top of a very LA story – one that’s got us all rooting for the next chapter.
