For five seasons, viewers got to see the beautiful friendship between Ilana Wexler (Ilana Glazer) and Abbi Abrams (Abbi Jacobson) supersede everything else on Comedy Central’s Broad City. The hit series came to an end in 2019, but it left viewers with the likes of phone wigs, the importance of having and rewearing one good dress, and Kirk Steele.
While each episode of Broad City had hilarious one-liners, unbelievable hijinks, and a lack of boundaries, some of the more memorable scenes included Ilana Wexler (Ilana Glazer) and her family.
Ilana Wexler’s brother, Eliot Wexler, was actually played by the actress’ real-life sibling, Eliot Glazer. While he’s best known for his role on Broad City, he’s also written on several top comedies, including Younger and New Girl.
