‘Broad City’ Headed From The Web To Comedy Central In January 2014

Broad City, the web-series turned soon-to-be cable television show starring UCBers Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, just made public the month of it’s TV premiere (if the titles of GIFedout Tumblr posts featuring guys with gym memberships and Splitsider are to be believed). January 2014 is when fans of the Amy Poehler-produced program will be able to catch the first of its 10-episode season on Comedy Central. It’s a premiere that’s been a long-time in the making.
