We've had our eye on Broad City creators and stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer for a while now, and we're pretty damn pumped for their new Amy Poehler-produced show set to debut on Comedy Central in January. The cult web series, in which Glazer's Ilana plays the brash foil to Jacobson's more self-aware and careful Abbi, was developed into a half-hour comefy helmed by our Winter Issue cover star Amy Poehler this year. And judging by this newly released clip from the pilot below, it looks like it's going to be completely awesome. Per working with their comedy idol Poehler, Glazer told us back in April: "The dreaminess of it was too much for my heart to
handle. It was like shooting stars in my eyeballs."Poehler offered this about Jacobson and Glazer:
"I'm always asking Abbi and Ilana questions about their lives, because I'm fascinated," Poehler says. "I mean, everyone under 26 seems gay to me. Both men and women. I often ask myself, 'Is everyone gay?' There's this gender fluidity that I think is generational, and that's new. But young women now are so interesting and are taking full advantage of their opportunities. And Abbi and Ilana come from good supportive parenting. It's funny to see what comedy comes from those backgrounds because, historically, you have to come from a shitty background to succeed in comedy, but that was never really the case with the women I came up with."Let's hear it for well-adjusted comedians, folks! January cannot come soon enough.
