Abbi Jacobson & Ilana Glazer Cried For Hours Filming 'Broad City's Final Episode!

Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer made a joint appearance on Jimmy Kimmel Live on Tuesday (January 15) and talked all about their hit show Broad City coming to an end.

“We made sure to shoot the final moments at the end and it was wild,” Ilana expressed.

“We’ve never had an end. We just needed the last moment shooting together to be the last moment for them too,” Abbi added. “We’ve very much grown up with these characters and we just tried to create an experience in shooting it too.”

“The characters are weeping but we’re truly weeping as is the crew,” Ilana continued. “It was like for four hours we were just crying, hysterically crying on a sidewalk in Queens.”

Abbi and Ilana also talk about the differences between their characters on Broad City and who they are in real life, and they reveal what they took from the set – Watch below!

Abbi Jacobson Reveals the Sarah Jessica Parker Cameo That Could've Happened on 'Broad City'

Abbi Jacobson stopped by The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday (October 30) and dished wrapping up the final season of her hit Comedy Central series, Broad City!

The 34-year-old writer-actress detailed the one cameo she and co-creator Ilana Glazer had planned for Sarah Jessica Parker that never came to fruition.

“We tried to get her almost every season: Sarah Jessica Parker,” Abbi told Jimmy. “I’m gonna say this bit because we wrapped it and there’s no more seasons left.”

Abbi explained the concept, that the camera would’ve followed SJP “as she kind of runs with the heels” through the West Village. SJP would’ve run from a “book shop” to grab a “baguette” and then to a “coffee stand” while Abbi and Ilana sang the Sex and the City theme song over the footage.

The scene would’ve end with SJP “approaching a police officer and being like, ‘There are these two women who are following me.’”

Abbi also promoted her book I Might Regret This, and she fesses up to the elaborate lie she told about being related to Elijah Wood – Watch more after the cut!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus Gets Roasted by Tina Fey & More at Mark Twain Prize Ceremony!

Julia Louis-Dreyfus hits the red carpet at the 2018 Mark Twain Prize for American Humor ceremony held at The Kennedy Center on Sunday (October 21) in Washington, DC.

Before accepting the honor, the 57-year-old Veep star was treated to a batch of funny roasts from her pal Tina Fey, Broad City stars Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson, Lisa Kudrow, Stephen Colbert, Bryan Cranston, Tony Hale, Keegan-Michael Key, Kumail Nanjiani and Jerry Seinfeld.

“Last year, I was lucky enough to get an Emmy award for my performance on Veep, which was an incredible thrill — and it set some kind of a record for the most Emmys by somebody for doing something or other,” Julia said during her speech. “Then, about 12 hours later, I was diagnosed with cancer, another hilarious turn of events. I’m only half-kidding, of course. Cancer isn’t at all funny, but a big part of dealing with it has been finding the funny moments.”

“The old cliché about laughter being the best medicine turns out to be true — which is good, because that’s what the current administration is trying to replace Obamacare with,” Julia added – Watch some of the speech below!

FYI: Julia is wearing an Oscar de la Renta dress. Tina is wearing Hearts On Fire rings and David Webb jewels. Abbi is wearing an A.L.C. dress.
