Comedy Central's "Broad City" is intending to bleep out President Donald Trump's name in every episode of the television show's fourth season.

"There's no airtime for this orange (person)," Ilana Glazer, co-creator and star of "Broad City," told USA Today. "We bleep his name the whole season."

Dubbed a stoner sitcom, Abbi Jacobson and Glazer co-star as two best friends trying to navigate living and working in New York City.

"We wrote (Season 4) being like, 'Here we go! Hillary for president!'" Glazer said, adding that the show had to be rewritten after Trump won the 2016 presidential election.

"This game-show host became president of our country, we rewrote a lot," Glazer said.

Both Glazer and Jacobson have been staunch supporters of Hillary Clinton. The former first lady even made a cameo on "Broad City" last year.

The first episode of the season premiered at the Colossal Clusterfest in San Francisco in early June. The premise of the episode revolves around Glazer believing that she is a witch.

"A witch is really just a woman who's in touch with her womanhood," Glazer says. "Ilana's 'powers' are decreasing during the current administration because it's just so hard to [orgasm] when you know so many people are in such danger. So Ilana works through her Trump-related [hang-up] and it's wild."

Season four of "Broad City" is set to premier on Aug. 23 at 10:00 p.m. ET.
