COMEDY CENTRAL® INKS FIRST LOOK TELEVISION DEAL WITH ILANA GLAZER AND ABBI JACOBSON

FIFTH AND FINAL SEASON OF BROAD CITY PREMIERES IN EARLY 2019


  • Three Projects Already in Development Include Mall Town USA, Platinum Status, and Young Professionals 

NEW YORK, April 12, 2018 – Comedy Central today announced a comprehensive development deal with Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson with a ‘first look’ at content created and/or developed for television by Glazer and Jacobson, both together and independently. The deal with the multitalented creators, stars, directors and showrunners of the hit series Broad City, which will return for its fifth and final season in early 2019, also extends across all of parent company Viacom’s television networks. Three projects already in development at Comedy Central under the new deal include Mall Town USA, Platinum Status, and Young Professionals.
“Broad City’s Abbi and Ilana may appear to be aimless and full of hair-brained schemes, but Abbi and Ilana IRL have proven to be stellar creator/writer/performer/director/producers. Their supreme focus on telling new stories, in new worlds, with new talent is nearly scary,” said Kent Alterman, President of Comedy Central.
“Broad City has been our baby and first love for almost ten years, since we started as a web series. It’s been a phenomenal experience, and we’ve put ourselves into it completely. Broad City’s always had a spontaneous pace and feeling, and ending after season five honors that spirit. We are very excited to bring new voices and points of view to Comedy Central and continue our collaboration together in new ways,” said Glazer and Jacobson.
  • Mall Town USA: Mall Town USA is an animated comedy that follows the afterschool misadventures of a 13-year-old girl navigating the complexities of life in the classic microcosm of American culture that is The Mall. Mall Town USA is written and created by Gabe Liedman (Broad City, Brooklyn Nine-Nine) and executive produced by Jacobson and Glazer.

  • Platinum Status: Set in the hipster-heavy east side of Los Angeles, Platinum Status tells the story of professional back-up singer Noah (Eliot Glazer), a gay guy who’s always felt left out of the “community.” And after he’s dumped by his boyfriend of ten years, Noah rebounds in the least likely way: by hooking up with a girl. With help from his friends Kevin and Mimi and guidance from his kinda-sorta-girlfriend Alexa, Noah tries to evolve both in the bedroom and the recording studio. Eliot Glazer will write and executive produce and Ilana Glazer will also executive produce along with Principato Young’s Peter Principato and Brian Steinberg and Electric Avenue’s Will Arnett and Marc Forman.

  • Young Professionals: At age twenty-four, David Litt became one of the youngest White House speechwriters in history. Described as the “comic muse for the president,” Litt served as the lead writer for many of President Obama’s most memorable comedic moments, and his recent memoir, Thanks, Obama, is a New York Times best seller. Inspired by Litt’s coming-of-age in our nation’s capital, Young Professionals follows five housemates growing up – personally, politically, and professionally – in the hopelessly absurd world of Washington, D.C. Young Professionals is written by and executive produced by Litt, with Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer also serving as executive producers.
Glazer and Jacobson have earned universal praise from fans and critics alike thanks to their dynamic relationship which, combined with impeccable comedic timing and chemistry, has led the series for which they are best known, Broad City, to such accolades as a 2016 Writers Guild Award nomination for “Best Comedy Series,” multiple nominations for “Best Comedy Series” by the Broadcast Television Journalists Association and back-to-back Emmy® Award nominations for “Outstanding Short Form Comedy Or Drama Series” for their digital offshoot, Hack into Broad City. Created by, written by, executive produced by and starring Glazer and Jacobson, Broad City follows best friends, Abbi and Ilana, as they navigate life in New York, capturing their hookups, relationships, crappy jobs and, ultimately, their badass friendship.
In addition to her work on Broad City, for which she received a Critics Choice Television Award nomination for “Best Actress in a Comedy Series,” Ilana Glazer last year starred on the big screen opposite Scarlett Johansson in Sony Pictures’ comedy, Rough Night, directed by Lucia Aniello. Glazer was also seen in the film The Night Before opposite Seth Rogan and Joseph Gordon-Levitt and, along with Ellen DeGeneres and Jeff Kleeman, is executive producing the upcoming Warner Bros. and BuzzFeed motion picture Brother Orange starring Jim Parsons. This past fall, Glazer and 2 Dope Queens star Phoebe Robinson toured across North America for their ‘YQY’ (Yaaas Queen Yaaas) tour and will bring the show back to New York for additional performances later this year. Glazer trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater where she and Jacobson met.
Abbi Jacobson’s most-recent film, the Netflix Original 6 Balloons in which she stars alongside Dave Franco, premiered at this year’s SXSW film festival and will begin streaming on Netflix on April 6. Jacobson voiced “Nya” in the animated Warner Bros. film, The LEGO Ninjago Movie, opposite Olivia Munn, Justin Theroux, Dave Franco, Jackie Chan and Fred Armisen, and also appeared in the Dustin Guy Defa directed film, Person to Person, opposite Michael Cera and Michaela Watkins, and Universal’s Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising. Additionally, Jacobson will give voice to “Bean” in the Netflix series Disenchantment, a new epic fantasy animated series from Matt Groening set to release in 2018.
Off screen, Jacobson hosts A Piece of Work podcast with WNYC and MoMA, in which she discusses modern and contemporary art in lively conversations with curators, artists, and friends including Hannibal Buress, Tavi Gevinson, RuPaul and Questlove, and in October will be releasing a new book, I Might Regret This (Grand Central Publishing). She is already an AOLArtist and New York Times-bestselling author and illustrator of Carry This Book, which showcases bright, quirky, and colorful line drawings at the world around us, all through the framework of what we carry. She also has two coloring books: Color This Book: New York City and Color This Book: San Francisco. Jacobson trained at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater where she and Glazer met.

Yas Kween! Comedy Central Announces New Broad City capsule collection with Wildfox, proceeds to benefit The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center


December 19, 2017 New York, NY – In celebration of its 4th season finale, Comedy Central proudly announces a capsule collection for Broad City and its new apparel partner Wildfox, the LA-based indie darling known for its retro-inspired collections and effortless yet edgy spirit. Wildfox is an ideal partner to express and extend the energetic irreverence and aesthetic of Broad City.
The collection will feature 22 styles, ranging from sporty crop tops to slouchy sweaters, inspired by Broad City’s bold graphic style, created by Mike Perry, with winks at the character’s antics.
Proceeds from two of the designs, the Yas Middie Tee and the Yas Yas Yas Sommers Sweater, will be donated to The Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual & Transgender Community Center in NYC, in acknowledgement and appreciation of the word “YAS”’s roots in drag queen culture and LGBT communities.
“We are extremely excited to have worked alongside Wildfox in creating the Broad City capsule collection. And we’re thrilled to donate 100% of proceeds from the two styles featuring the word “YAS” to The Center. While “YAS” was popularized by our show, it has a long, rich history in drag queen culture and communities of queer teenagers of color. In celebrating The Center, we honor youth who’ve suffered and lost their lives just for being themselves.” – Co-creators and co-stars of Broad City, Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer.
The Broad City x Wildfox collection will be available at Wildfox’s retail locations and its site, wildfox.com. Select styles will be available at Nordstrom, Hazel Boutique, Coop & Spree, Bliss & Co, and Harlow.

The Opposition with Jordan Klepper will satirize the hyperbolic, conspiracy-laden noise machine that is the alternative-media landscape on both the right and left. The Opposition is the voice of the new America. It is the America that defines its own reality. It’s the America of paid protestors, Obama’s birth certificate, and the certainty that CNN is fake news. The Opposition with Jordan Klepper will premiere on Monday, September 25 following The Daily Show with Trevor Noah.
(For a hi-resolution downloadable image of Jordan Klepper click here.)
Thursday, September 28
Nathan For You (Season 4 Premiere) – 10:00 p.m.

In season four, Nathan helps a computer repair shop earn its customers’ trust by hiring a fully asexual staff; devises a plan to sell hot chili at a hockey arena by hiding it under his clothing; and attempts to get around international tariff laws by rebranding smoke alarms as musical instruments. With his unorthodox approach to problem solving, Nathan’s genuine efforts to do good often draw the real people he encounters into an experience far beyond what they signed up for.
(For hi-resolution downloadable images from Nathan For You click here.)
The President Show (all-new episodes)  – midnight
Continuing in Comedy Central’s grand tradition of producing groundbreaking late night formats, comes The President Show. Created by Anthony Atamanuik who hosts as Donald J. Trump, The President Show gleefully tosses out the rulebook of its predecessors. Trump is bypassing the crooked media by hosting a late-night show direct from the Oval Office. No unfair questions from reporters, no awkward photo ops with German ladies, and no bedtimes. Just a fun show where he can put his unique Trumpian spin on such late-night stapes as desk segments, field pieces and guest interviews. Vice President Mike Pence is featured as his sidekick, played by Peter Grosz. Produced by Clone Wolf Productions and 3 Arts Entertainment, this weekly, topical late night series currently airs on Thursdays at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT.
