She's such a good blend of "talk show funny" and being genuine and more serious.

[@sparkyzer0]

I could listen to her stories for hours! So sad Broad City is ending, I hope we get to see her in lots of other new shows :)

[@skwisgarskwigelf7191]

Princess Tiabeanie

[@matt13r1]

All I hear when Abbi speak is Bean

[@OriginalGangsta337]

Yes

[@eileensnow6153]

It’s weird that she doesn’t have buck teeth lol

[@yasminkaursahu]

Here after A league of their own, omg I loved the series 😭💖 Carson did an amazing job everyone did ❤️

[@FerrariKing]

That book looks like it would be worth a read.

[@user-rm5rz2zh8k]

Don't judge a book by its cover

[@aristotle_throttle]

Ferrari King seems like the type of fake name Abbi (and/or Alana) would make to creep CZcams and joke promote the book. 😎

[@laurakeidann4623]

I'm here because of "A League of their Own"

[@jillianbuckley388]

She's amazing. The book is amazing. I appreciate both.

[@ILoveAngie69]

So many biography type books being released by young comedians, I wasn't expecting much from this after reading Lena Dunham and Busy Phillips' tripe, and I gave up on Broad City during S4 - but I loved this!! It flows, it's not all "me me me" "I'm such a big star" BS. Total huge fan of Abbi Jacobson now. And when i was young i used to say Tony Danza was my Dad

[@cierrablue]

Her book promo video just convinced me that she's awesome. We can be best friends in my head.

[@NewMessage]

The promo sold me on it.

[@onetwo6765]

Abbie's promo is the most brilliant book promo I've ever seen

[@TheAndrewpeddle]

Does Jimmy have like trigger words for jokes, whereas a guest will say a random word or phrase and Jimmy can't help but get out the full joke he has, based around that very word. Like Mini Cooper. He couldn't help but interrupt and, then, ruin the flow of her story.

[@Elbarto150]

I thought the same thing. He can’t shut up. I bet he fits fine in a Mini-Cooper anyway, there surprisingly large on the inside. He loves to hear himself talk and giggle.

[@cainasamuelaquino4094]

omg that makes so much sense

[@ihateads2430]

I think she was about to cry and jimmy just tried to make her snap out of it. Maybe its just me.

[@kd9526]

It was so rude

[@epictetus9221]

@@ihateads2430 of course she wasn't

[@beahope7243]

All I see when I hear her voice is bean 💜

[@bicktoriousmedia4667]

That promo is gold!

[@windyventure]

read "Elijah"... saw Abbi's face... assumed it was "Elijah Wood"... CLICKED... I stan. Obsessed since childhood

[@Enzempiro]

She makes me want to drive cross country alone now...

[@KamInBim]

She has a future in editing

[@aleahc1379]

Imagine being one of the kids to believe her and sometimes telling people ' I used to ride the school bus with the girl from Broad City and she's Elijah Woods cousin!' And then finding out it was a LIE lmak

[@bdgtprspctve]

Pricess Tiabeanie!

[@MrAkiyamamio]

I need Broad City back right now

[@january1313]

I didn't go to quite the same extent, but when I was younger, I convinced kids at school that Seth Green was my cousin. Also for no reason and with no end game in mind. Just being a little weirdo.

[@tegsar88]

Hahaha that promo vid. I’m getting this book.

[@rcjoe406]

She's just wonderful

[@Stingetan]

Abbi has the potential to be Sarah Silverman 2.0
Get 'em, girl!

[@djmarie2058]

She has way more class than Sara and much less depressive. IMHO Sarah is a much better serious actress!

[@Aaronvegan873]

Love you Abbi ❤

[@Kitson420]

Such a babe.

[@loveforeignaccents]

Hahaha, that lie and the end clip!

[@SheenaBoBeena84]

She could have used royalty free music but she did a good job, her advertisement was good.

[@Elleylaluna]

This cool kid in my 3rd grade class uncle is Tom Cruise. I then told/lied to everyone in class that my uncle was Dexter from The Offspring. LOL

[@roblan504]

I'll make promo music for the next book, free of charge.

[@leeyatwan]

bew bew bew yow yow yow

[@adrianaPerez-fm2uw]

Princes bean 👌👌👌

[@abbycollins5957]

Does anyone know who Abbi was in love with? Rumors say Carrie Brownstein...?!

[@NellieKAdaba]

NO idea.

[@liadstrik5600]

Yes it's true it was Carrie

[@abbycollins5957]

Liad Strik how do you know?!

[@celinanaomigonzalezalvarad4176]

i'm currently reading the book, and every time she write about "her" i'm feeling more anxious to know if is Carrie Brownstein, the feelings and everything she writes about their relationship is so beautiful and heartbroken, i wanted to be Carrie but at the same time i don´t, i think between fans we all know its about Carrie.

[@bamxcv]

Yes it is about Carrie.

[@goldenboob]

Abbi you´re a genius

[@cinty2153]

She's so hilarious

[@treetrain]

What a beautiful country we live in

[@malachitequartz2861]

Princess tiabeanie😍

[@Zay97]

I swear I thought I saw Cecily Strong in the thumbnail

[@jamesshride3158]

Why is that woman talking in Bean's voice?

[@marvinrichardduran8961]

Nya Smith (The LEGO Ninjago Movie 2 (2022))

[@ididntknowtheyhadwifiinhell]

as a kid i had a crush on emma watson so i had a picture of her in my looseleaf. i went to a religious all-girls school so when a classmate saw it she was like, "is that your cousin?" dunno what i responded though

[@JazzFlop212]

wow great we were all wondering thx for clearing that up

[@jimmiller7386]

All I hear is princess tiabeenie

[@terrah6172]

Literally did the same thing in the 3rd grade with a magazine pic of Britney Spears 😖😖 Elijah Wood seems a lot more believable though!!

[@doge8511]

I absolutely love her she's like perrrrfecr girlfriend material I'm certain

[@fellownormie]

tiabeanie!!!! katie mitchel!!!! emily from bojack horseman!!!!

[@Bluebluepool]

[@TheSyorgon]

NY to LA ... how unique

[@silverbracelet6]

I was disappointed that that's all the lie was...

[@justin_your_cousin9273]

Dakota Kai mixed with Bailey

[@caprisun6]

I can definitely see that.

[@FlowlikeRiv]

She looks a bit like America Ferrara to me

[@edgarmonrgiz7952]

All I hear is princess tiabeanie, lol. she not as cute as beanie but her voice is soooo sexy.

[@Hayyanofficialchannel]

First

[@sandeepanroy2758]

[@KyleDavisMusic]

Am I the only one here who has no idea who Abbi Jacobson is?

[@loveforeignaccents]

No. I don't either but wanted to check her out.

[@sashaborisenko7674]

She's on the show called Broad City.

[@leahcollins7598]

Broad city will change your life!

[@rosemaryjacobson7419]

I am so glad that you’re my cousin Abbi🤞

[@blaze556922]

They run out of famous people? Who is this?

[@yilmanbabilonia]

She has a very successful TV show called broadcity in Comedy Central.
