Tim jokes about having his agent inquire whether SNL would ever bring him in mid-season as a writers' room consultant, acknowledging it will never happen.
- Tim asks what people's favorite stand-up is, noting they'll cite internet-famous comedians because shareability matters more than medium.
- Drawing lines around one kind of funny is weird—he's never questioned a writer's Instagram presence or demanded David Sedaris explain his political views.
- Tim plans to submit SNL packets as a joke, considering whether his agent might pitch him as a mid-season consultant for the writer's room.
- He acknowledges the chances of SNL hiring him mid-season are very low, but notes not everyone has to like you anyway.
- Being called a media figure is a weird way to insult someone—Tim takes it as a compliment.
