Abbi Jacobson and Ilana Glazer, the creators and stars of Comedy Central’s hit show [_Broad City_](http://time.com/4227089/stephen-colbert-broad-city-abbi-ilana-rainbow-bagels/), stopped by _Late Night with Seth Meyers_ Wednesday. They discussed an [infamous episode](http://www.hulu.com/watch/912976#i1,p0,d1) from last season, an upcoming cameo from Hillary Clinton and their unique definition of success.

New York City residents will totally understand that Abbi and Ilana will feel like they’ve truly made it when they each have washer and dryers in their apartment units. Their show may have just been picked up for two more seasons. They must have just been [profiled](http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2016/03/07/broad-citys-slapstick-anarchists) in _The New Yorker._ But for them, true success will come when they no longer have to drag their clothes to a laundromat. (Or even to the basement of their apartment building.)

During their appearance, Abbi and Ilana also discussed an upcoming [cameo](http://time.com/4146158/hillary-clinton-broad-city-season-3/) from Hillary Clinton:
