Bonnie and Tim swap stories about appearing on Red Eye, mocking pageant-queen contributors who parrot talking points with fake conviction, an awkward exchange about racism in the green room, and a nervous comedian who barely spoke on air.

In this bit10 moments
  • 52:25Tim loves doing Red Eye despite the show being insane.
  • 52:51These contributors deliver talking points with complete conviction despite the content being meaningless.
  • 53:45Conservative comics on the panel attempt puns and try to be funny in a painful way.
  • 54:29A panelist argues that not wanting to live in an area where you might get stabbed isn't racist.
  • 54:51Tim spent one appearance mugging on camera while a guest just kept talking endlessly.
  • 55:07A female comic on the show barely said anything, offering non-sequiturs like 'I'm a lover of animals.'
  • 55:36Tim writes one or two jokes on every topic and folds them in when called upon by the host.
  • 55:54Making ludicrous claims in a blazer creates absurdity, like his joke about Marco Rubio at a foam party.
  • 56:19Red Eye puts comedians on panels with serious figures like UN ambassadors and John Bolton simultaneously.
  • 56:54What makes doing Red Eye funny is that Tim can say 'I don't know' while everyone else has a point.
