-You have a lot to be happy about.
Your new season is getting rave reviews and big ratings.
But also, even cooler, you got married.
-I got married. -Yay. That´s awesome.
[ Cheers and applause ]
And it was -- Have you been dating for a while?
-Yeah, we´ve been together for five years.
-Wow. -And I was like, let´s do this.
-And so do you just -- Did you plan it or you just did it?
-No, we did it, like just in a --
We just did a little quick thing.
It was more about getting married, I think,
than the wedding. -Yeah.
Here is you guys on -- Is this on your wedding day?
Looking gorgeous. Very blissful there.
[ Laughter ]
-He´s waiting for that joint. -Or a cigarette.
-He´s not looking at his -- Oh, right it´s a...
...marijuana cigarette, but he´s not looking at his new wife.
He´s looking at the thing that unites us.
-[ Laughing ] Yeah.
I want to talk about "Broad City."
It stars you and Abbi Jacobson. -Whoo.
-Yeah, who is fantastic. You guys work great together.
-Whoo-whoo! Abbi!
-I love both of you guys.
This is season four now. -Yeah.
-And what has changed since you did season one?
What´s different?
-I mean, it really is like this thing, that it´s like,
it just takes time to get comfortable in that position,
you know? -Yeah, of course.
-We were just sort of like, buttholes clenched
for first and second seasons. -Yeah.
-Third was like -- Third was like, yes, digestion issues.
Sure. -Okay, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sure. Working your way up the list there.
-But, like, sort of a little bit more relaxed.
And fourth, this season was just -- I don´t know.
We just felt more comfortable on set.
We were so ready to shoot, too.
Whereas before, that was like, oh, the next phase of the show.
You know, each comes with its own, like, anxiety level.
But shooting this year, it was just a blast.
We just had so much fun.
-And the writing on the show, just looser or the same or...?
-No. It´s so hard. Writing is like, it´s just --
It´s too, like, deep. You know what I mean?
I´m like, "I can´t even get to know myself anymore this way."
It´s just too much.
-It´s a lot. -It´s too much.
And we had this weird hiatus.
We each went off and did a movie in this hiatus.
-Yeah.
-And that was a weird way to write.
And then the election happened in between the hiatus.
And it was like a new world to come back to.
We always rewrite the scripts, but after this hiatus,
it was a different thing.
-Was it a different outcome than what you were writing for?
[ Laughter ]
-You know, I think we just expected
or hoped that Clinton would win. -Yeah.
-And we were like, well, we won´t have to speak to anything.
Whew. You know?
And then -- and then that didn´t happen.
And it is a different world.
And we felt different when we came back too.
-Yeah. How do you attack this new world?
-I think it´s just infused with the feeling that we all --
or that Abbi and I and just our writers
and our circle of friends --
It´s just -- On the way here today,
there was Trump traffic. And I was like, Trump traffic!
[ Laughter ]
It´s different than regular traffic, you know?
It´s different. -It´s Trump traffic!
Yeah, yeah, I gotcha. I feel you.
-It´s like I´m going to break some of my teeth over it.
You know what I mean?
-But you got to really -- you got to direct an episode.
-Yeah. We -- Abbi and I each directed two.
And it was -- it was crazy.
It was like...
It was like this extra level of work that we had to do.
But it also, like, eliminated work too.
And it felt like this, like, final, like, clicking in.
And it was just, like, going for it.
-That was great space work, by the way.
-Thank you. -That was like really --
That was in whatever Transformer you were in.
But that was fantastic. -Thank you.
-You always have big guest stars on it, but Steve Buscemi, who --
I love him. You directed him.
-Dude, one of my first days directing was Steve Buscemi.
I was like -- -No, I love that.
How did you end up -- How do you get them to do it?
-He´s so talented and so natural at play
that it just clicked in, and I was like,
"We are equals, Steve Buscemi, you and me."
[ Laughter ]
But he made it feel that way. He made it feel that way.
And it was just like -- it kind of just clicked in
and we just have gotten such a comfort with our own set
that it really was -- it was just like we were playing.
-Now, when is the Shania Twain? -Tomorrow night.
-Tomorrow night is Shania Twain,
and the title of the episode is...
-"Twaining Day." -"Twaining Day."
It´s Shania Twain. [ Laughter ]
It´s called "Twaining Day." -That´s right.
-Does Shania Twain --
Does she make a little cameo, a major cameo?
Can you say what it is? -Shania makes a major cameo.
Tomorrow night is a double feature.
Shania Twain and RuPaul Charles, baby.
Our episode is Ru and Shania Twain. Crazy.
-All right, you guys have to check it out.
I want to show you a clip.
Here is Ilana Glazer and RuPaul
in tomorrow night´s episode of "Broad City."
Take a look at this.
-You waited tables in Long Island?
-Yes, but Dumpers Post was way more sophisticated
than it sounds.
I also served at the Golden Heirloom,
a home for the elderly.
I would bird-feed them tapioca. -Wait. Stop. Listen.
The only way to make it in the world of
Manhattan restauranteries is to be a queen of mean.
And I can already tell you don´t have it.
Look, why don´t you go work in a Connecticut Muffin, honey?
-No. No.
-And when you turn into a Connecti-[bleep] muffin
you can come back to Sushi-Mamba. Mm-kay?
-Mm-kay? [ Cheers and applause ]
RuPaul. Ilana Glazer, everybody!
