I had a weirdly awesome high-school experience.

Why does 'writer' have no gender, but 'actor' has a gender? What is that?

I feel like comedy had a boys'-club label when we were starting.

Someone like Amy Poehler, I don't know, but I feel like I know her. I think everyone feels like they know her.
114
We couldn't pitch the show without having created one, at least one 20 to 25 minute version of 'Broad City.' We wouldn't know how to describe it.
115
We love to start from a real place, whether it's us or our friends or working on a story from a writer's friend.
