With another presidential election coming up, Ilana Glazer is looking back on one of their favorite "Broad City" guest stars.

The Emmy Award winner recently recalled the mixed reactions to Hillary Clinton‘s 2016 cameo on the Comedy Central series and when they realized “how politically perceived” the show was, which they co-created and co-starred with Abbi Jacobson.



“Oh my god, what a world! Things have changed,” Glazer told The Independent of the episode featuring Clinton. “I mean, I did vote for Hillary Clinton. I did want Hillary Clinton to win over Donald Trump. I don’t think she’s a perfect, flawless person or a perfect flawless politician.

I’m not friends with her. I can’t really tell you where she is for me on a spectrum of hate to dislike to like to love—maybe somewhere in the middle as a person? But I really wanted her to win.”



“I’ve been told my whole career my work is political,” said Glazer. “When Abbi and I ‘learnt’ that Broad City was feminist, we were like, huh! We hadn’t even thought about it like that. I’ve certainly gained awareness over how politically perceived my work is since, but I consider it my personal responsibility to keep going deeper in who I am so that I don’t get stuck pushing a platform.

If you’re not leading with comedy, it’s propaganda.”
