Closing Fantasy: Booking a Guantanamo Guest and the Pronoun Bit
from #245 - It's Saturday Night! | The Tim Dillon Show · #245
2 min
Tim closes by fantasizing about booking an actual Guantanamo detainee on the show and imagines a surreal SNL sketch where a torture survivor is lectured about pronouns, with Colin Jost reacting awkwardly.
- Tim wants to book a Guantanamo Bay detainee as a guest to update listeners on his experience.
- He specifies wanting a 'legit guy,' not a convert, to appear on the show.
- He imagines someone like Ellery Smith lecturing a torture survivor about how his words are weapons and he needs to respect her pronouns.
- Tim envisions a Guantanamo detainee performing comedy on SNL while the cast stares in disbelief.
- In his scenario, the detainee describes having electrodes applied to his genitals and Colin Jost simply responds 'that's tough.'
- The detainee then recounts waterboarding and being shown photographs of his dead family while Jost repeats 'that's tough.'
- Tim concludes the bit with the detainee saying he didn't want to discuss torture—he wanted to do a bit about Panera locations in Brooklyn.
