Ilana Glazer Says ‘Broad City’s Axed Episode In Israel Would Have Featured Zoë Kravitz As Jesus


The two-part Season 3 finale of 'Broad City' featured Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson's characters taking their Birthright trip to Israel.

Amid the country’s ongoing conflict with Palestine, Glazer recalled that she and Jacobson “were actually going to film in Israel” before deciding to “pull the plug” at the last minute, detailing what would have happened in the hour-long Season 3 finale of their Comedy Central series. The Season 3 penultimate and finale episodes ‘Getting There’ and ‘Jews on a Plane’ aired on Comedy Central in 2016, the first half featuring the duo in a rush to get to the airport after oversleeping, forgetting a passport and getting stuck in the subway. After launching the show as a web series from 2009 to 2011, Broad City caught the eye of executive producer Amy Poehler and landed a five-season run on Comedy Central from 2014 to 2019.
