Watch the stand-up comedy video 'Tim Dillon's Netflix Show Casts Bobby Lee?!' from Bad Friends Clips on Comedy Buff. Published 2024-10-27. Transcript available.

Tim's got a new show on Netflix.
Yeah, we're excited about it.
We're trying to get people like this who don't have faces.
Yeah, what is it?
Well, this is your country.
Oh, this is the talk show.
Yeah, it's the talk show.
We're trying to bring back like a Jerry Springer type concept.
You know, this was my senior ditch day in high school.
We went to Jerry Springer.
That's awesome. Was it in Connecticut?
No, in Chicago. He was out of Chicago.
He was out of Chicago. That's awesome.
We did a senior ditch day and went down there.
And dude, I love Jerry Springer so much in high school
because it was a perfect world of comedy.
It was pure comedy.
Yeah.
And it's comedy on purpose where like people are taking it serious,
but you're like, do you not understand that this is-
No, I think it's funny.
It's like, it's also ends at those shows end up being weirdly
a better satire of America than The Daily Show.
A hundred percent.
Because like, this is what we got.
These are the voters.
These are the people.
This is who's out there.
These are all real people.
These are no scripts.
They're not actors.
They came on.
We did like 20, 25 minutes with each group.
We edited it down because like you got to get, you know,
like there's a lot of people that aren't accustomed
to being on TV.
We'll just drone on for hours about something.
So you got to edit it down to like, but it's amazing.
I mean, these people-
Can we show the trailer?
Absolutely.
Before you do, can I ask you a favor?
Sure.
Can I please, you know how in, um, uh, uh, what's his name?
The, the, the-
Just breathe.
That's okay.
I'm very emotional about it.
Yeah.
What's going on?
I just want to be like a, a handler.
Come, be a handler.
You know, like I bring guests on stage.
I don't say much.
Yes.
You know, you're like-
Like Steve.
You, Steve Wilkos.
Yeah, Steve Wilkos.
That's what I want to be.
I'll be security.
Yeah, but I'll be security.
Making him security is so fucking funny.
We want security that, like the idea would be security that runs away.
Yeah.
Like I just want cowards.
I want cowards.
Dude, dude, dude, I got to be your main-
Sing ding ding.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
We want cowards.
We want people running away.
Yeah.
Nothing is better than if a melee brawl starts and me and you run away out of
the city.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
It would be the greatest moment ever.
Please.
Please.
Just run away.
You don't even have to pay me.
Yeah.
Let me do it, please.
Oh, absolutely.
Okay, cool.
Thank you.
All right, let's see it.
I do want to watch it again.
It's fantastic.
Wow.
Really.
We had some homeless people, I think in the audience, because we shot it in Van
Nuys
and we just, people like came out of tents and got-
Central casting, right?
Wow.
It was great.
Yeah.
It was a weird thing because they wanted us to do something like political and
I was
like, it's boring.
It's just boring going to political convention.
Nobody's going to ever do it better than Triumph.
Right.
Nobody's going to ever do The Daily Show better than Jon Stewart.
Yeah.
No one's going to, like everybody, you know, so I said, maybe we'll bring back
something
people haven't seen in a while and it'll just be silly.
And like our dream, we have dream ones that we couldn't get, but like our dream
segments
are like, my husband said he was at January 6th, but he was just cheating on me.
Yeah.
Yeah.
My sugar daddy's going to cut off my Ozampic and I'm scared of what I'll eat.
Yeah.
Things like that.
Like we have dream ones where like, we want to put things out into the universe
and get
these people.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But I didn't see any violence.
There's no real violence because the people there, there is arguments and there
is anger.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
But violence is harder to get to.
And a lot of the Jerry violence, I think some of it was staged.
There was a lot of it was staged.
And none of this is staged.
So the reality is it's like our hope is that if we get more episodes, there is
violence.
Naturally.
We hope for violence.
There needs to be violence.
Yeah.
There must.
But we have, we're now, we learned a lot doing it.
We made some mistakes and then corrected them so that, you know, we had two
shoots.
We figured it all out.
And then like, we're going to try to get, you know, if we keep doing it, like
we'd love
to get some people that really are going to attack each other.
A hundred percent.
While me and you run out of this.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Jerry Springer did turn into this fake fight show.
Yeah.
Which I think was kind of partially the demise of the show because it organically
was so wild.
It's got to be organic.
Yeah.
Somebody's got to really want to fight.
Yeah.
I don't want, somebody's got to want to fight, but there are like, we have a
guy confessing
he lost a lot of money to his wife with crypto.
We have people like, you know, we have all kinds of stuff going on.
That's interesting.
Guy saying I used to be a porn star.
Yeah.
Like, and this role, these are all real things, but like nobody slapped anybody
else.
But, you know, knock on wood, that could happen.
Yeah.
I really hope it does.
That's the hope.
My name is Yashi Toto for this.
Yeah.
He's still working on the character.
I'm working on the character, dude.
I'm going to look.
No, it's me and you run out of the studio during a large fight.
And then there's a kind of an older female security guard who is tasked with
handling everything.
Do you have this woman cast?
No, but it would be hilarious.
A female, like an older female security guard trying to get a handle on
everything.
Me and Bobby sprint out of the studio.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Run out.
Yeah, yeah.
Let her deal with it.
Yeah, yeah.
I can't wait.
I hope this is a hit.
I hope it is too.
When does it come out?
October 1st.
October 1st.
October 1st.
This is out on Netflix.
You got to go watch it.
Yeah, we hope it.
It should be fun.
There's no chance it won't be successful.
I told you.
Yeah.
It's fantastic.
We're going to go to the convention and talk to people and I go, why?
Yeah.
Ah.
20 people doing that.
Yeah.
And then they were really cool.
Netflix was awesome.
We said, we'd like to do this.
And they said, okay, cool.
And left us alone.
Wow.
Because if you go to the convention and do the chat things, that's already on
YouTube.
There's like a dozen of those videos right now.
Everybody's doing that.
You'll never beat YouTube.
It's fast.
It's already out.
And it's going to, what's the point?
Yeah.
There's nothing to be learned anymore about people's like opinions about
politics.
The only thing that's left to be learned is like, how are people living?
What are people doing?
That's the more interesting element than like why you like Trump or why you
like Kamala.
It's like, what are you, how do you earn money?
How does your family dynamic work?
Like, what do you, who do you hate and why?
Would you take this to another state and move it?
I mean, shoot it in different places?
I would shoot it wherever.
Absolutely.
I think it'd be interesting to like shoot and shoot episodes in different spots.
I know that's more expensive.
No, no.
I agree with you.
Because then you really get a gist of like the, you know, shoot it in Nevada.
Then you're in Washington.
We flew these people in.
Oh, you did?
Yeah.
From all over?
From all over.
Okay.
Right on.
Because, you know, but we would, I, you know, it depends on where they'd want
to shoot
it, but I would shoot it wherever.
Let's take these people that got flown in.
What's the, what was the general spot that a lot of them came from?
We talking Florida?
I'm trying to think there was Colorado.
Yeah.
There was Florida.
Gotta be Florida.
How do you submit to be on the show?
Well, we do as a casting call.
We're like, do you, are you this person?
Do you want to reveal a thing?
Do you want to do whatever?
We'll do it.
People like, why would anyone go on that?
I go, anyone will do anything.
Yeah.
People want to.
What are you talking about?
Are you crazy?
Yeah.
Yeah.
Yeah.
There's no value to dignity anymore in this country.
There's no economic value to it.
And there's no emotional value.
Like you don't even sound good anymore.
If you tell someone you passed up on something and you go, I'm not going to go
make a fool
out of myself.
No matter what it is, people go, I don't know.
No matter what it is, it used to be like 20 years ago, you tell a guy at a bar,
they want
me to go make my family into a laughing stock.
And I'm not doing that.
And the guy go, good for you.
Now the same guy goes, I don't know.
I would have maybe done that.
There's not much left.
There's no meat on the bone in the country.
Right.
So it's like, maybe something would have walked out.
Maybe it worked out.
Right.
You know?
What did you think you learned in the course of the show?
What's the collective thought after seeing all these people do all this shit?
What's like the one thing you took away from it?
Sure, genuinely.
You know, genuinely what I took away was number one, how hard it is to do these
types of shows.
Yeah.
Because it's, you don't have a script.
You don't, you can't just re-edit and like go back and say, let's do it again.
Like that's not the way it works.
Right.
Like somebody's going to say something to someone else.
They say it one time.
Mm.
You're doing it in front of a live audience.
Right.
So I had to learn how to be a talk show host and because of my podcast, I do it
by myself.
I just talk.
Right.
So for me, it was like listening to people and then, and I would lose track of
time.
So I'd near PCN and they'd be like, all right, you've done 10 minutes with them.
Like, you know, like, and I'd go, oh, okay.
Bring out the gas.
Because there's always somebody we're bringing out.
Right.
And then people in the chairs don't know.
So I'm like, you know, somebody's been listening backstage and then we bring
somebody else out.
So it's like, it was learning how to do all of that.
And then me, like re appreciating Springer, Jenny Jones, Ricky Lake, Donahue,
Maury, all
those people who did shit like that.
Sally, Jesse, appreciating it and going, oh, that was not, it was not as easy
as it looked.
Right.
It's not, I mean, you have to, you have to be a host and you have to be kind of
this, you're
almost like a, you're almost manipulating them as you're telling the story with
them.
And those shows did it every single day.
Yeah.
All year.
We had one shot.
We had two live shows Saturday and Sunday and we edited them.
You know, we shot 11 of these segments.
We kept five.
Yeah.
So it took a minute, but as we get better at it, we would be able to like, we
would
know, now I know more about like, okay, I understand why that segment.
Well, some people say they have a problem with each other and then get on stage.
They really don't.
Of course.
They really don't.
We would find that out when we did Bad Friends Live stuff.
We'd find out.
Yeah.
People would bail on a thing that we thought they were really committed to.
Yeah.
We had a woman who's a QAnon mom and all the producers were like, she's a nut.
Wait till you hear what she says.
She's crazy.
And then I brought her on stage and go, what's your craziest opinion?
She goes, I like Trump.
I go, all right, come on.
Yeah.
Anything else?
Wow.
I'm like, are there tunnels underground?
Like, give me something.
Yeah.
I'm just like, I'm pro second amendment.
I like Trump.
And the LA producers were so crazy that they thought that was like the most
controversial.
No.
Yeah.
Right.
You know what I mean?
They're like, wait till you hear what she says.
And she's like, I just think Biden's too old.
And they're like, see, what a fucking nut job.
Yeah.
And I'm like, oh no, this isn't.
But we did find some people that were, it was really good.
And there was some magic on it that happened where you're just in awe of it.
Some shit went down where you, you do just stand back and go, what the fuck is
happening?
I love it.
It's kind of wild.
Well, the reason why this has legs is because there's two other comics that I
can think of
that had this, a daytime show, do you know who they are?
Well, I don't remember.
No.
I mean, probably.
Kirk Fox.
Oh yeah.
Kirk did.
He did.
Greg Barrett.
Greg Barrett.
But the problem with those shows is that they try to be molded into a talk.
Like they're playing a role.
So they, but you, you're yourself here.
That's right.
Yeah.
That's why this is, I think.
Well, he's in on the joke.
Yeah.
That's what it is.
Yeah.
These guys were trying to like, well, um, you know, well, tell us, you know,
they were just playing like some role.
A host.
But we're basically like Netflix.
We were talking to them and we go, we want to satirize like America.
Mm.
And then the idea was like, well, let's talk to political figures and
everything.
And I'm like, but that's not America.
No.
So the Republican and Democrat conventions are not America.
And I thought about it.
And I was like, and me and my collaborator, Brian Frangie, really smart, good
writer.
Uh, we were like, and I worked with him on stuff, but he produced, co-produced
this.
We came up with the idea of basically going like, why don't we just do like a
talk show?
Like we grew up with, but with modern problems.
problems. Right.

Yeah.
Yeah.

I go, all right, come on.
Yeah.
Anything else?
Wow.
I'm like, are there tunnels underground?
