Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer on Good Hang with Amy Poehler

The Hang, in Short

Amy interviews her Paperkite co-presidents Kate Aaron and Kim Leing before sitting down with Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, and things get immediately messy. Kim admits she used to try to touch Kate's butt at work. Kate shut it down, obviously, but then Kim just kept doing it in the parking lot on the way to the car. They're both obsessed with Broad City, which makes sense since they started at Paperkite working on the show. Kim remembers watching season one and thinking "Holy shit I've never seen queens like this on TV before." They call it their "north star" for working with young creators. Kate's an Abbi, Kim's an Ilana because she's head over heels in love with Kate. They describe their brutal honesty pact: if there's competition or jealousy, talk immediately. Recently Kate told Kim she interrupted her a thousand times. They both cried.
