Broad City, Comedy Central's brilliant webseries-turned-cable series, is closing out their sophomore season with a bang! ETonline caught up with star Abbi Jacobson (who was missing her better half Ilana Glazer) at the annual PaleyFest in Los Angeles to get the scoop on Wednesday night's season finale.

"I cannot wait for you to see this finale," Abbi gushed. "Last year it was just the two of us in a restaurant and it was sort of cinematic in a new way." This season, the finale episode promises to be just as off-the-wall and unique. "It sort of goes into another genre for a second," she added.

This season of the cult-favorite series featured some pretty incredible guest stars including Seth Rogen, Kelly Ripa and Susie Essman. But as Abbi explained, that is just the tip of the iceberg.

"Patricia Clarkson makes an appearance," she teased. "I'm not going to spoil the other guest stars. There's a bunch of people in the finale."

Despite Abbi and Ilana's improv background at Upright Citizen's Brigade, the show is for the most part all scripted, including the celeb cameos. "We're so lucky that people want to come on and do [the show] and are so game for whatever," Abbi said.

Among the 31-year-old comic's dream guest stars, Abbi would love to lock down Oscar winner Frances McDormand. "I tend to like using really dramatic actors on the show that don't do a lot of comedy shows or guest stars."

The season 2 finale of Broad City airs this Wednesday, Mar. 18 at 10:30 p.m.
