Ben's real Christmas gift is revealed as just continued employment, riffing on Bob Cratchit from A Christmas Carol and a Thanksgiving incident where Ben wouldn't help move furniture.
- The Christmas present is continued employment — "you still have a job."
- Tim needed his employee to move furniture from Whitney Cummings' house on Thanksgiving morning, but he was doing brunch with his wife instead.
- Tim describes his employee as deeply selfish, refusing to come in and then suggesting therapy as an alternative to working.
- Despite everything Tim has given him — shared comedy, career connections, travel across the country — his gift in return will be a tiny matchbox car.
- Tim reflects on how much he's shared with Ben: his mind, comedy, career, life, and access to fascinating people and media moments.
