  • Broad City creators Ilana Glazer and Abbi Jacobson had planned an episode where the duo would encounter Zoë Kravitz as a portrayal of Jesus, adding a surreal, meta twist to their birthright trip.
  • The axed episode was scrapped due to concerns about how it would be received in Israel and Palestine, a shame as it likely would have delivered Broad City's signature blend of boundary-pushing comedy and cultural commentary.
