‘Broad City’ stars Abbi Jacobson, Ilana Glazer play ‘Truth or Truth’ on ‘Fallon’
Broad City stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer stopped by "The Tonight Show" on Friday for a game of “Truth or Truth,” in which our heroines blast host Jimmy Fallon with tenacious honesty. It was, in a word, unequivocal.
Broad City stars Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer stopped by The Tonight Show on Friday for a game of "Truth or Truth," in which our heroines blast host Jimmy Fallon with tenacious honesty. It was, in a word, unequivocal.
Fallon fans will recall guests like Stephen Colbert and Amy Schumer playing "Truth or Truth" in past episodes, but Jacobson and Glazer's turn was something else. From dirty little secrets like Fallon's childhood nickname to the worst thing Glazer has ever done, few comedic stones went unturned — including Jacobson's favorite song to make love to.
"'O Holy Night,'" Jacobson said. "Specifically sung by Susan Boyle."
"So hot," Glazer concurred.
For the interview portion of their appearance, Jacobson, a Wayne native, and Glazer discussed the beginnings of their comedic partnership, making Broad City, and where they stand as celebrities with Bed, Bath & Beyond, one of Jacobson's favorite stores. Surprisingly, it's not as good a relationship as you might imagine.
"I get a lot of anxiety going there now," Jacobson told Fallon. "It's the same one we shot in, and you know, no one recognizes me. It's a big build-up on my part, and no one recognizes me."
The Broad City ladies also stuck around for a behind-the-scenes edition of "Would You Rather." In that web exclusive clip, Jacobson and Glazer answer decidedly oddball fan-written questions, which include, but are not limited to:
"Would you rather lick the whole floor of a subway car, or have a cold every day for the rest of your life?"
"Would you rather fight one Hannibal Buress-sized duck, or 100 duck-sized Hannibal Buresses?"
"Would you rather have fish sticks or mozzarella sticks for toes (you could eat both and they would grow back)"

Jacobson and Glazer's appearance on the Tonight Show comes just a over a week after the pair debuted their "micro-impression" skills on the Late Show, and days after Jacobson appeared on Preston & Steve to talk about her experience with Conestoga High School's hockey program. In that way, the Broad City empire seems to be growing nicely.
And that only makes sense. As David Letterman said, Jacobson and Glazer are "comedy geniuses."
