If people watch 'Broad City' very closely, we just drop lines about people we love, just to say we like them.
From Abbi Jacobson
I've been watching 'The Cosby Show' and 'Roseanne' a lot right now, and those work so well because they're not, like, jokey comedies; they are coming from real characters. We want our show to be like that. A family show.
Someone like Amy Poehler, I don't know, but I feel like I know her. I think everyone feels like they know her.
We couldn't pitch the show without having created one, at least one 20 to 25 minute version of 'Broad City.' We wouldn't know how to describe it.
We love to start from a real place, whether it's us or our friends or working on a story from a writer's friend.
I had a weirdly awesome high-school experience.
I'm from outside Philadelphia, a town called Wayne, which is, like, 25 minutes northwest.
I'm not super, super religious. If this is okay to say, I'm more culturally Jewish.
I started getting really interested in comedy when I was in middle school.
I ended up going to college for visual arts but moved up to New York after I graduated from college in 2006 and started going gung ho to the Upright Citizens Brigade, and I realized that that was what I was really interested in and what I really wanted to do.
