Comedy Central is so high on the Time Traveling Bong sketch from College Humor, they’ve ordered it to series. The Time Traveling Bong TV series is written and produced by Ilana Glazer and Paul W. Downs, who will star, and by Lucia Aniello, who will direct. Watch the inspiration, below.
The three-episode limited series will premiere April 20, 2016, after the Broad City season three finale. It features cousins who smoke from a magical (or perhaps technologically advanced) bong and are transported to whatever year they’ve whispered into the contraption.
The Time Traveling Bong TV show grew out of this College Humor sketch, of the same name. Enjoy it, responsibly.
