Self-proclaimed “boss bitches” Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson have landed one of the world’s most powerful women as a guest star for their Comedy Central series Broad City: presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Pictures of Clinton’s visit to Abbi and Ilana’s NYC paradise have been flooding Twitter today, both on the former secretary of state’s own Twitter account(where they sit above a call to remove the Confederate flag from military academy The Citadel) and that of the show (where they rest right above a shot of Glazer and Jacobson mockingly showing off their “Golden Globes.”) Deadline, meanwhile, is reporting that Clinton will make her unlikely-on-the-surface appearance on the show’s season three premiere on February 17.
Although it didn’t land in November as previously predicted, the second season of podcast phenomenon Serial is finally here. In a blog post on the Serial site, host Sarah Koenig wastes no time in confirming that it deals with the story of Bowe Bergdahl, the U.S. soldier who left his post in Afghanistan in 2009 and was subsequently captured and held by the Taliban for almost five years. Episode one, “DUSTWUN,” finds Bergdahl explaining his side of the story for the first time, a year and a half after President Obama exchanged him for five Taliban detainees held at Guantanamo Bay.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether people latch onto Bergdahl’s story the way they did to Syed’s (Koenig hopes they don’t). If nothing else though, Mail Kimp fans can release a sigh of relief. Their hero is back.
