Early life


Glazer, born in New York City, New York,[1] is the daughter of Sandi and Larry Glazer, who both work in insurance and finance.[1][3] She grew up in a Reform Jewish family in St. James, New York, on Long Island and is of Ashkenazi Jewish descent.[4][5][6] Her brother, Eliot Glazer, is a producer, writer and actor with whom she has worked on shows like The Boys Presents: Diabolical and Broad City where he plays her brother.[7]

Glazer graduated from New York University in 2009,[8][9] majoring in psychology.[10]

Broad City



Development

In 2009, along with co-creator Abbi Jacobson, Glazer began shooting Broad City, a web series starring the two as fictionalized versions of themselves. The series was nominated for an ECNY Award for 'Best Web Series'[13] and was positively received, garnering attention from major media outlets such as Entertainment Weekly, USA Today, and The Wall Street Journal.[14] The series caught the attention of Amy Poehler, who subsequently met with Glazer and Jacobson to help them shop a pilot script based on the series.[15][2] Poehler also agreed to star in the web series finale.[16][17]

In 2011, cable network FX, working with Poehler as the producer, purchased a script commitment for the series from Glazer and Jacobson. However, the network did not approve the script and decided not to proceed with development. Glazer and Jacobson then approached Comedy Central, who agreed to purchase the script from FX and order a pilot.[18][19]

From 2012 to 2014, Glazer co-created the web series Chronic Gamer Girl with Alex Charak.[20][21]

Broad City made its broadcast television premiere in January 2014 and was received with positive reviews and strong ratings, becoming Comedy Central's highest-rated first season since 2012 among the younger demographics, including adults 18–34, with an average of 1.2 million viewers.[22]

The show has received critical acclaim from fans and critics alike. Review aggregation website Metacritic noted season 1 received "generally favorable reviews", giving it a score of 75 out of 100, based on reviews from 14 critics.[23]

In February 2014, Comedy Central renewed the show for a second season.[24] Season 2 received positive reviews, with Metacritic giving it a score of 89 out of 100, based on reviews from 8 critics, indicating "universal acclaim".[25]

In January 2015, the series was renewed for a third season, which premiered on February 17, 2016.[26] In January 2016, the series was renewed for a fourth and a final fifth season,[27] which premiered on January 24, 2019.
