TV Preview: Time Traveling Bong

By Sachin Hingoo

There are only a few episodes left in this season of Broad City, and when it wraps, I know I’m going to be fiending for more Ilana Glazer. Well, god save the kween, because she and Paul W. Downs (Broad City’s Trey) will star in a three-part miniseries called Time Traveling Bong that premieres right after Broad City’s season finale on, naturally, 4/20.

What’s Time Traveling Bong? Well if you’re as good at reading the titles of shows as I am, it should be fairly clear. Glazer and Downs play cousins Sharee and Jeff who, you guessed it, discover a time traveling bong and use it to travel through time while getting spectacularly ripped. Along the way, they end up in Ancient Greece, the far future, and even Salem during the witch trials. This idea was hatched four years ago in a sketch for College Humor but they’ve clearly been given a substantial budget to go buckwild with their concept.

The full, epic trailer for the show is available here, and it looks as wild as anything Glazer and Downs have done for Broad City. We’ll have reviews up for all three parts closer to their airdate.

If that weren’t enough, the show will also have supplementary content, including a digital series called “After The Smoke Clears” as well as a behind-the-scenes feature called “Behind The Bong” which sound like a ton of fun. I’ll just have to remember to refill my stash before then. Happy 4/20!

All three-parts of “Time Traveling Bong” will be available on the Comedy Central app and on cc.com on 4/20 as well as on MUCH in Canada. Each part of the mini-series will be available to download-to-own day after air on iTunes, Amazon Video, Microsoft Movies and TV, Verizon Multi-Screen, Vudu and Google Play.
