Ilana Glazer Shares Her Favorite ‘Broad City’ Moment with Abbi Jacobson
Ilana Glazer, co-creator and star of "Broad City," recalls a standout moment from the series. She expresses her fondness for the season 1 finale where Ilana reacts to shellfish. In a memorable scene, Abbi bravely carries an allergic and panicking Ilana from the restaurant, mistakenly injecting herself with an EpiPen. "We were dying laughing," Glazer reflects. She remembers director Amy Poehler's silent laughter during filming, as her shoulders shook with amusement.
This notable scene occurs in the 2014 episode titled "The Last Supper," which centers around a birthday dinner at a sleek venue known for celebrity visits, such as Beyoncé and Jay-Z. Just moments into the celebratory meal, Ilana's allergic condition worsens despite her insistence on enjoying the seafood. The episode crescendos with comical chaos as Abbi's adrenaline-driven rescue leads Ilana to the hospital.
Aside from her beloved memories of the show, Glazer is also active in her comedic career. Her stand-up special, "Human Magic," streams on Hulu. Together with Abbi Jacobson, they produced five seasons of the Emmy-nominated series, which concluded in 2019.
As part of a recent interview for Us Weekly, Glazer also shared more about herself:
- Weekends: She enjoys undisturbed weekends filled with family time and cooking.
- Spotify Favorite: Glazer’s number one Spotify artist for 2024 is Beyoncé.
- Dumbo Visits: She explores Dumbo with her daughter, pretending to be Italian tourists, enhancing local adventures.
- First Car: A stick shift, two-door Honda Civic saw her through the early years of driving.
- Comfort Meal: She finds solace in homemade rice and veggie bowls loaded with protein for nourishment.
- Starstruck Encounter: Meeting Nicole Kidman left her momentarily speechless, leading to awkward imitation.
- Favorite Film: Glazer finds joy in watching "Mrs. Doubtfire" and admires Robin Williams for his impact on her youth.
Her routine before performances consists of walking neighborhoods while engaging in introspective conversations. One pinnacle career moment was honoring Julia Louis-Dreyfus with Jacobson at the Kennedy Center Awards, celebrating her unique brand of comedy.
Other fascinating tidbits include her fast food craving—Wendy's crispy chicken sandwich with extra pickles—and her alternative career choice as a therapist. She looks back fondly to her childhood crush, Freddie Prinze Jr., and chuckles at nostalgic high school memories that shaped her.
When relaxing, she indulges in baths with Epsom salts after a minor dose of a weed gummy. She cherishes childhood filming moments with her brother and remains a drumming enthusiast. Lastly, she maintains vocal connections with her best friend through extensive voice memos, reveling in the shared laughter.
From dream collaborations with talent like Viola Davis to signature vacation spots, Glazer continues to embrace both personal and professional growth. One bucket list item still awaits her—a horseback excursion along the beach in a bikini, providing a glimpse into her adventurous spirit.
