Tim describes a meeting with his LA agents where he pitched pointing out the comedy deficit in late night/political comedy, and they preferred talking about money instead; he riffs on SNL's Epstein material and the agents' vibe.
- Tim was in a meeting with agents in LA complaining about the lack of funny content in current comedy and late-night TV.
- Agent suggests they could point out either the deficit in the market or the deficit of money; Tim volunteers to speak to both.
- Tim says they're here to work and ready to go, but nobody in the industry has guts or balls anymore.
- People stuck watching milquetoast garbage entertainment on networks turn to his show instead, where they actually laugh.
- Tim notes his show has grown tremendously, they're making funny videos, pushing the envelope, and creating actual satire about what's happening.
- Tim expresses uncertainty about whether SNL even attempted an Epstein bit, but guarantees their take wasn't his.
- Agent asks if he can give Tim a bad idea; Tim responds he'd be shocked and saddened if the agent didn't offer a few bad ideas.
