9:02 pm
a piece of work ilana has made her way into the film world starring in this summer's blockbuster comedy rough night and is currently preparing for a stand up comedy tour broad city airs whedon's days at ten thirty pm on comedy central is amazing you've done three seasons rolling stone already named brad city one of the hundred greatest television shows of all time home do you react to that . yeah i mean it's pretty. overwhelmed i'm kind of constantly overwhelmed. it's pretty good middle genesis how did it come about so abby and i both came to new york with this idea of getting into performance and how many know beforehand so abby had finished college and i was in college and i would meet we met in an improv group practicing improv keeping that those muscles more arm and
9:03 pm
after a couple years of improv it's like where's this going what are we doing i have nothing to show for this and we really gathered around the idea of wanting to send our parents a link so that they could see what we were working on all this time because our parents were like you know what is improper and we were paying to rent a little theater to have like literally twenty people come and watch us to improv and we're paying to do that so it was to have a link to send our parents of some content that we made to prove that we were indeed doing comedy was a big deal you know to make it some permanent thing and that led to broad city yeah so web series is at the time we're just getting started as a popular thing i think the market is pretty saturated now but at the time it was like new and we were like what about this web series thing and you know we started there and we just sort of cracked like as friends we were on this improv team just sort of cracked each other up. an art. dynamic as friends was you know the written
9:04 pm
the beginning is the basis of the web series and we just sort of heightened both of ourselves so you can do individual things and do broad city and your main close friends yes you know broad city is very clearly the combination of our two voices and in order to keep our work our unit voice strong we think it's you know we felt important to keep developing our individual voices on two broad series improvised it's heavily heavily scripted three much like we really script it and then when we script it so much so that when we get on set. we can get the scripted version and then we can be loose of the old. clip there are younger confidants tell them to do it yes and then they are glad that they did it and then they look into the show and are like oh yeah mrs who could a play i could play by so i think you have to play yourself i know but he'd be such
9:05 pm
a good i'd be a good doctor you'd be a doctor or a alan alda played my chiropractor i saw that very funny he was a to allow me to if you want me i'll do it ok that's good ok i'm jewish i said yeah if it it would be it might be a great family member he would be a great family member god that i could come as i don't that's right out who has some secret to new york city that we don't know about uncle just out of prison. over the years i'm going to feel really successful white collar crime good old yeah . that is the like bob all of you i am a pole how did she get to be to use it to produce we took classes at the theatre that amy poehler and three of her collaborators from the average citizens brigade started and the theaters called our great citizens brigade they had a show on comedy central years ago of the same name and she had actually heard of our web series because we had created thirty five videos by the time or thirty four by the time we're asking her to join us so it's kind of
9:06 pm
a natural fit because we had gone to her school and then we asked her to be in this webisode and she was and she liked it and we just clicked that day for all of the same high. and so that we asked her if she would want to produce our show because we were we had already been planning to take it out of our yorkers i'm from outside philly originally but in that long island long island is one where yeah one guy and some from long island little girl followed my dad sells insurance and does financial planning. graphic designer you're very close to the family everybody's close we just had our premiere party on monday night and our parents are all how do you have a boyfriend i have a husband i just got married what does he do he is you say a scientist a scientist yes a scientist or does he science he's molecular modeling which is the new way to design drugs and he is starting a company based on his drug design methods jewish he is half jewish his dad's joel and he's
9:07 pm
a relieved that he was he was bar mitzvah if that helps you larry and. he leaves no proof of david i don't know i'm going to have done before. ilana you recently suggested you should wear diapers oh my god marching season for larry what i have to tell you i have to tell you that this season is tell him so good this isn't a so good and so funny and i think we sort of like got this comedy rhythm of ours going and just in case anybody has any leakage or looseness i just want him to call her be ready so i don't you know enough to get up now as you do that when you're laughing exactly. you'll be seeing it larry can you have you shut the whole season rianne. season five all be on us on the yes figure out a little or a boyfriend will say you got to know you know to all
9:08 pm
carry your distinguished distinguished this best is good. because you're good friends that mean you're automatically good collaborators. no i don't know if that's so do you disagree a lot oh yeah the voice of the show is us constantly meeting him in the voice we each have individual voices and then the show is our combined voice and it's always sort of like finding where we both agree with me there is a jewish sense of humor totally the thing i love about judaism is the basis of questioning and that's kind of the basis of a joke you know like what surprises you what's the what's the question to the next joke you know the next punch line so i do maybe just from my my culture there's also a strong female presence in comedy right now when i was growing up right now fifteen carol. as you probably never know she was
9:09 pm
a jewish stand up and she was bomba while her of course joan rivers came along yeah elaine what they were just talking right you have to work harder women definitely have to work harder i think about anything and you know women have to work harder at everything i think to have a seat at the table we were just talking about this like it seems like a lot of women arcs the expectations are so much higher too you have to be everything within one of the package whereas men. how many shows are created by and starring by men and aren't there's no expectations or just another one of those shows so our show is you know i don't like this fad this trendy conversation like women aren't funny women are funny and you know i i'm seeing it even out a little bit like when our show started that conversation on women funny was still happening and i wonder of the next ten years if it's going to feel like that conversation was a trend or if that was permanent representational it's here to stay you know i
9:10 pm
don't know if you were trying to been to any of the episodes oh yeah yeah you know we did this thing where we bleeped his name so that we don't like share the air time like so yeah we just didn't really want to ever say is name on the show and it's kind of like in real life the way we're talking about him you know talk about he's a president yeah and it's bleep like a curse word is. well we you know we had this break you said seventeen months we had this break and we had written the whole season and then the election happened and the show has this like underlying. political feel like we have i think you know it's a liberal show and we have things we want to have always wanted to say but and hillary was on all this but after the election happened we took all we took the episodes and really really we needed to rework them because it just felt different we we everyone we know and we whenever we were working constantly talking about
9:11 pm
what's going on right now and we had to infuse it into the show and we always like every said we always had this this progressive feline but after the election you know everything became more we had to our ticket became more important that we were to kill it exactly what these politics are and where they're coming from and while i am saddened by the political landscape right now and it is it's just such a bomber it's such an assault on your senses to have the president being mean and a bully in rude like that's just kind of bizarre to me but i also feel like you know on the on the flip side there's uniting that's happening there's a you know uniting around on the other side of trump there's uniting around love and inclusiveness and looking at the for example the roots of our our country more honestly yeah it's definitely exposed the truth about the country that i think we
9:12 pm
were ignoring is frankly true comedy. or is. there step one well the reality of it is not funny. at all it's not know the reality a day by day thing after thing now is not funny at all dangerous and violent but our. job is to you know i feel i do feel kind of like this is the forces and if it is this like kind of responsibility you know it's like oh we have this platform to make people laugh and kind of get to escape it right and so if we can comment on what's going on in a way that also allows you to laugh at it i mean that is like the ultimate do you crack up on the side yeah definitely and it's and we've we've laughed more and more on set i think in the first season we were so nervous and so stressed and wanted to do a good job but it's gotten so much more fun and it's not relaxing to shoot a t.v.
9:13 pm
show but we've gotten we've gotten to enjoy it in the moment more jews are only two percent of the population yet the the country except jewish yeah they know it's funny right right it's weird right and there's this is so many people in this country have like never met a jew you know but they did like seen seinfeld you know or they watch their signs that you know i mean my ad it's it really is wild our representation however like jewish women any female perspective of any culture is like the new generation i think of the boys when we were children will talk about i'll be and along those careers outside of broad city and dollar i've been to a game of if you only do stay with us on larry king.
9:14 pm
the field we go. and you get it on the your. according to just. come along for the ride. it will be in a llama believe things you see the jewelers and the jew. jew show. you haven't noticed how not to say the word jew it offends me how hard it is to own a jew yeah big get your scissors on the j.c. right every jew it's a little more accusatory i guess what do you mean by that you like a sort of h.
9:15 pm
with your as you as you were us is your use you i love jewish you know we have an ongoing joke on the show that a lot does dapo leave the jewish because i miss new york nebbishy too and abby is from outside of philly the mainline so near i'm not near a lot of jews i'm from a little farther up the mainline it is very direct line right low sort of philly it's jewish farther out it's not you know all the carriages they play maybe but sure in comically jacobson english have grown measurably use autos are told and they do other things you rough night was that right yeah that premiered earlier this summer it was a very well right yeah and you had a great cast sure yeah at the cast was crazy and the experience was great and the people who wrote the movie are our writers from broad city yeah i'm the director why were you in the movie. yeah yeah we you know.
9:16 pm
now yeah and now but we both went off and during the hiatus. has triggered a book called carried his book. give us the gist that carry this book i always been fascinated with what people carry around with them did you ever read the book the things they carried tim o'brien it was about vietnam vets and what they explained their story there what they cared about that was such a great device and so my book every spread was is a famous person or notable a name or a famous fictional character and what i think they might carry around i should have done your back i know we got you got to see this larry you would love this book first of all in your times and i haven't seen it you've got is that i see i should have brought one of your producers has it backstage at such a they do you know it's like no those the con look they it's just the way terry and i spend in the pen and it has to be a cigar and king's celebration no i would have played extra suspenders extras.
9:17 pm
glasses wipe a mess like a little mini my little mini my little recorder just in case on the fly on the man on the street interview pictures of the children can they learn you have a sweet tooth well if we do some in there. we finish this segment with a game called if you only knew these are questions you do not have to answer them this is not a court of law. abby would make so long a laugh. what makes a lot of bodily functions the ford joke love it she loved that i want to make every letter. you know it makes every laugh is getting to a point is this always cracks that getting to a point where we are we have been working so long and so hard that everything is like this kind of funny. for you it gets in my she gets into
9:18 pm
a bit. michelle when she gets into the shoulder laughing in shooting but especially writing because we go nuts i love getting past the point where you can't even get her back it's like this next level comedy writing about me doors kind of as does my daughter kyra who does this funny. that's the laugh yeah rather than a law that i mean that is that just add to your first impression of on a first impression i actually thought she was. this actress alia shawkat on arrested development literally first in first impression of. i thought abby was like a cool girl oh yeah a cool girl and i'd be someone along as dying to work with. yeah who do you think she's done and. laura linney. idea was on his childhood celebrity crush. rosie o'donnell oh in
9:19 pm
celebrity crush i did i was. like. you have to go i went i was obsessed i don't like rice though you were in italy could i let me ask you who met your celebrity crush i think we had like a similar one was will smith oh yeah will smith sorry i meant like so every moment of that. this for each of your most embarrassing moment. oh my gosh i recently on and on a different project i had to throw something at a glass door and it was like so close and my body like i couldn't i think must have thrown it at the door forty times in front of like an entire crew and could have hit it and not shoot two and it was like five in the morning and i'm like this far away and i like my body can't do it i was i wanted to die and i'm sure most of us in that we actually cover it this season and our third episode i got too drunk and
9:20 pm
i couldn't hold myself together i was going to leave it at that wow just to drive me really drunk now but on the show we reenacted my true life embarrassing moment oh it was a true light moment that yeah you know just getting too drunk is always more defying was the best piece of advice you ever got i think one something amy poehler told us because amy produces the show and very early on she said be kinder to yourself treat yourself like you would treat your daughter. i think that that was the best that we received together for what is something we should be paying more attention to i know something i need to personally be paying more attention to that everyone else does are. all of the other elections. not just the presidential elections local covalent local government for sure what was the longest period of time you've been awake. who.
9:21 pm
i don't know exactly maybe like a. in the thirty hour yes rain dirty hours i think we're in school i think in college like progressing yeah i think like twenty four to thirty six hours something people don't know about you or japanese. shark the entire abs and ruin the fourth season. that jewish yeah. i don't know what do people not know about me or they not know about you people don't know that or i play the drums i'm a drummer well i'm very i'm in and you're married to a scientist you know this is not i mean there are things you blow things up to the way i know it's like on the computer or in the uk and us he blows things up on the computer. with the stars abroad city on comedy said drew jacobson and a lot of ways are they have become incredible hits they are slobs as
9:22 pm

9:25 pm
or do you use the same dress over and over so on the show my character buys a very expensive blue dress and because. you know if you buy an expensive dress and you're broke you're going to wear it to every fancy event so i keep wearing the same dress on the show which is not a popular thing on t.v. where the characters we wear clothes but that's an important thing that we do on our show is that the same dress we have a couple o. a version of our word job headed by a couple because a couple people have had to wear it not just me. find tennis fan ninety three on what do you worst real life roommate stories. i love beaver's i don't know what that means so bevers the characters they have terrible roommate well that that evers dynamic of yours was born out of reality so that was a pretty bell was based on a an actual situation we heightened it to extreme levels but that was based on
9:26 pm
something grant's last on facebook how long a stand up differ from the way we see your own broad city oh stand up oh i was like yeah i mean like. i was like in trump era posture. you know it's just me the character abroad city is very much scripted and curated versions of me and my stand up is just me as the creator of broad city and you know. human a llama stand up is it's like a raw or version of her then we have it's yeah it's like you know it's very much it's like all on is having a conversation you're like very and then i hang it out yeah i like like hang out is a natural stand up whereas on the show it's very punchy you do stand up i don't i never really have i didn't rares yeah character sketch stuff but we lean on twitter i know you're both big hillary supporters in your opinions what are the females
9:27 pm
potest potential in the future and would either of you get into politics. ok so first of all we're both interested in like. private constituent politics speak just like as a person on a vote on progressive i guess elizabeth warren yeah i love elizabeth warren left him all her love what a bad ass. i would i don't personally feel like i would get into politics know what i love comedy you know i mean i'm like i don't know you the same thing yeah it is kind of someone who says mazie hirono session is that funny he's a lefroy yet he's he's hilarious he's hilarious and you want to get married. i don't know if you have a boyfriend no second time you asked me larry i know larry and you're very sensual and she got it. and she is wow larry if that embarrasses
9:28 pm
well you got yours you got yeah it's the no it's not embarrassing it's delicious larry marries a mad scientist and runs all of it leave the central one here alone. jason ruvo you know him are there any story lines you want to do but we're too out there for the networks the joy of the self censor. and i think there's been a storyline yet that we have abandoned and comedy central is usually really. excited about what we come up with there was one story line that was so bizarre that there was like an incest thing. that was. in season one used don't do and say no it wasn't i was there. but ya know it they like to push the boundaries yeah us comedy central jason also us along a what's with all the somersaults and court rules what are you doing and so much as i genest. i was a gymnast dancer and i just like that kind of stuff i love if you can do it and if
9:29 pm
i could listen if i could do all those things i'd be doing on the show too it's like i don't have a sensuality of my partner to center so i start so i have to really perform right and last but not least alex logan on facebook this how do you top taking on the new season. you're going to have to watch it is it's i think in the top top it yeah no pun intended. yeah like what do i mean and i honestly top it just by this season is just elevated compared to our last season your show is r. rated but yeah i mean it's on a ten thirty thirty on comedy central still have to believe we saw of the standard we love us and stuff we can say everything but your own savior for its plate and trump is that's right thank you girls thank you so much because you are a legend.
