Hillary Clinton on Broad City Tonight
Is Broad City “with Hillary?” Tune in tonight!
Yesterday, Comedy Central released a preview of tonight’s Broad City episode with none other than an appearance by Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton. In today’s political climate, the young vote matters, and Hillary’s team seems to be well aware of that. From the looks of the preview, neither Ilana nor Abbi has any qualms about staying “impartial”. The situation arises as Ilana and Abbi depart the HRC headquarters and run smack dab into a slow motion Hillary and of course, hilarity ensues.
While presidential politics are often a topic of conversation on CC’s nightly news programs, this foray into sitcom land, is the first one I’ve seen this political season. Bernie Sanders has appeared on the Nightly Show with Larry Wilmore, and both candidates have made appearances on SNL, which has been common in recent election cycles. The Broad City appearance however, seems a little different. As though the girls wrote it into the script and hoped for the best that the candidate would agree to do the show. . Apparently the HRC team thought they could benefit by having two young, metropolitan, weed smoking women showing their admiration for Clinton.
Whether you are a Bernie or HIllary supporter, I think stoners all around can agree that it is nice to have political candidates who aren’t afraid of being seen with us
