Theres more character development, and then the last three episodes aretotallythat bittersweet vibe.
Were in the edit right now, and for the next couple of months.
Im excited to see what bittersweet looks like on our show.
Cara Howe/Comedy Central
We love the show obviously, as creators of it but also as audience members.
We care about these characters so much.
Theyve meant so much to us.
Its notquitethe same [laughs], just legally not the same thing.But were really excited about that.
It feels like youre with these characters, in a bizarre way.
What else, Ab?
JACOBSON:I mean, yeah, we really are commenting on social media while blowing it completely off.
Youre fully in it while youre watching the show.
It will be as if youre watching an Instagram story the entire time.
Were giddy every time we see the episode, so I hope you guys feel the same way.
Jumping ahead to the very end, whats the one word you would use to describe the series finale?
Can be any word.JACOBSON:Im going to say change.
GLAZER:AndImgoing to say one word about it: bright.
JACOBSON:Oooooh, yeah.
[Laughs]
Good to know and to chew on!
That was becoming a pattern that I think we needed to break.
JACOBSON:I agree.
All that said, youll both be back soon enough.
And then we have separate projects were producing that were excited about.
What about you, Ab?
Im kind of excited to not exactly know [my next steps], to be honest.
