Or otherwise known as Abbi with the big butt.

Although, it’s not like she needs Soulstice to recognize her worth to be the Abbi we know and love.
Her genuine character is what makes her so perfect, and it’s probably because it’s based so heavily on the actress, Abbi Jacobson.
Unlike her character’s first instincts, Abbi Jacobson is teeming with confidence. In her interview, with TIME, she says, “Even now I talk about stuff I want to do, and then I’m like ‘Stop. Just start doing it… you gotta just get in there.’”
She knows how “I wish I could” could turn into “I wish I did,” so she tells herself and others to just do it.
Other than her proceeds for the Nike promotion, she spreads love and empowerment. And she’s completely right. Nobody became the next “great” by waiting for someone to see and promote their talents. They just went out and did it.
Abbi Jacobson got her degree from the Maryland College of Art with the intentions of following in the footsteps of her graphic designer father, Alan Jacobson, and her visual artist mother, Susan Komm. We don’t know if this makes Abbi Abrams’ art on “Broad City” authentic first editions from the artist herself. But we do know that it makes Abbi a woman of many artistic talents.
She used this hidden talent in her new book titled “Carry This Book.” There are certain things a woman never leaves the house without. Abbi Jacobson knows this and goes on a mental adventure, thinking about what things would be in famous women’s purses that we all adore. What’s in someone purse is very telling about their character. This book is more than a picture book. It’s a reflection of how Abbi sees these women and what their public personas tell us about them.
Before Abbi made it big playing a broke Brooklyn woman, she was super busy being a broke New York woman. Abbi Jacobson, the woman who now has a net worth of $3 million, used to hand out flyers for a gym called Equinox.
In her TIME interview, she explains that she never got paid because “it was just a membership.” But Abbi, being the sweet, silver-lining person that she is, still enjoyed every hot second on those streets.
The infamous Hillary Clinton cameo in “Broad City” season three was already planned before she won the primaries. From what we gathered from The New York Times interview, Ilana and Abbi had written the script a whole year before the episode actually came out. The timing couldn’t be any more perfect since the Presidential Election was coming up.
Although we know it didn’t give Hillary the victory, Abbi explains that swaying the election wasn’t the point of Hillary’s appearance. However, that doesn’t mean her presence on this very empowering and feminist show wasn’t political. She also revealed to The New York Times that “it felt like [they] were justifying [their] show in a different way — it felt historic.” It showed that “Broad City” was more than just a comedy. A lot more.
Abbi is a suburban gal; she grew up in the Main Line District of Philadelphia. This explains why Lana is always the one who has the cheat codes to make it on the streets of Brooklyn. Abbi Jacobson wanted that part of her character to remain true, similar to the backstory about the gym and her art.
She didn’t find her calling until she left the cozy streets of Philadelphia and moved to New York after she graduated from Maryland College of Art. She told Montgomery News that she found her love for acting at the Upright Citizens Brigade where she took improv acting classes.
Turns out Abbi Jacobson is just as amazing as Abbi Abrams, or even more so. Yass, Abbi! Stay a boss forever, never change.
And for facts about her bestfriend and “Broad City” co-creator Ilana Glazer.
