In this bit10 moments
  • 45:37Comedians realize their early supporters are gone by the time they get good—they've died, moved, or had kids.
  • 45:58Tim brought a sex addict fan to Mohegan Sun, who stayed in a separate hotel room and left for family obligations.
  • 47:02Touring alone is necessary; bringing someone along forces you to share your headspace when you need to be in your own head.
  • 47:50The fan won't stop talking about comedy and won't shut up, so Tim tells him to get a life.
  • 48:43Tim dislikes lower middle-class faces and prefers symmetrical, debutant features.
  • 49:43JFK didn't have a lower middle-class face despite odd features—he had good breeding and good genes.
  • 50:22Garbage Pail Kids represent lower middle-class faces that don't inspire Tim, even if someone has money or muscle.
  • 51:01The Nazi kid is twenty years old with a ruined future—no law school will take him, he'll work gas station jobs, and he should change his name.
  • 51:29People can legally change their names in America and disappear; after a few years nobody remembers the crime.
  • 51:47Colin Ferguson, who shot up a railroad train, apparently works at Home Depot now and should be on the show.
