he directed an episode of Netflix's "The Characters" which is essentially a bonus episode of I Think You Should Leave. dude's skits had me laughing so hard I was gasping for breath.

[@SJ-gc8mw]

I found out about this show yesterday and binge watched all 18 episodes with my wife. I cant believe I had never heard of him. I said right away he reminds me a bit of Andy Samberg , I wonder if he's affiliated with the SNL crew. After a quick Google I got my answers. Very funny skits verging on bizarre. Without spoiling, the one where his barber gives him an unusual hair cut is brilliant. I was still laughing about it today.

It's actually a genius sketch idea. Surprised he hasn't done it yet!

The other two ideas were terrible, but I cracked up just hearing about the leather life jackets. That would have been hilarious.

We need more interviews of Tim because they all ask him the same questions

[@stephenandrew6087]

Honestly he was probably stifled by SNL’s mainstream constraints. With Netflix he’s got creative license to fly his freak flag. And I’m here for it.

[@BreadCatMarcus]

And so much of SNL was tied into pop culture. His skits are universal and freaking weird at the same time. He was just too creative and kooky for them.

[@mossy723]

It’s the absolute best

[@snowmonsterBA]

Wow is he funny. Gonna watch that show now

It's weird seeing him talk normally. It's like, I'm just suspicious that he's doing a character. Nobody knows. It's a mystery. And no, I don't know how to solve mysteries, not everyone knows how to do everything, solving mysteries isn't the ONLY THING

[@JammastaJ23]

Those are great ideas lol

[@Gcool243]

Man I remember watching him as a cast member on snl and thinking he was going to fall into obscurity after he was on the cast

6:22 I can tell that almost-handshake-thing really affected Tim for about a week or two. Obsessive thoughts SUCK. I'm glad he can write some of his frustration and embarrassment out while making us socially awkward people laugh.

[@prometheuszero9]

This is the first time I ever saw an interview with him, he seems extremely low-key and even borderline shy throughout. Like if you saw this first before ever seeing his show, you probably would be totally surprised by the difference between him as himself vs his characters lol
