Abbi Jacobson fell in love with 'A League of Their Own' as a kid and jumped at the chance to create a reboot for Amazon. But can she answer waitwait's questions about another league? The XFL.
Daniel Boczarski/Getty Images for Prime VideoAbbi Jacobson first became famous producing, writing and starring in the hit Comedy Central show. Her latest project, which she is also both created and stars in, is a new spin on the 1992 film, about women baseball players during World War II. In this version, we find out that there is a lot more than just crying in baseball.
Abbi Jacobson: You know, Will Graham, who co-created with me, asked me to do this with him in 2017, so I was still doingwhen we began. And so it's been a long time. I love the movie just like every other person in the world. And it was never intended to be a remake. It was really about telling the stories that we felt were overlooked and that Penny Marshall couldn't tell in '92.
No. You know what, I could. I think it's, to be honest, we had this game where we had all these professional athletes from other sports play. And I got so nervous. It was in L.A. and I didn't want to play, I think because there's so much pressure now, like eyes on me playing. That I do not want to play in public.
PS: So what's interesting to me is like, you are a TV star who has done everything from, oh, all kinds of things, from sex scenes and drugs. You opened this show by running down an antique train platform with your bra hanging out. And you're telling me [that] you're too shy to play baseball in front of people watching.PS: This is the great thing, because I understand you did this for Amazon. It's on Amazon Prime.
