The person behind the punchline

A little backstory.

Tim Robinson is a comedian, writer and actor whose sketches turn small social mistakes into escalating confrontations. He spent one season in Saturday Night Live's cast before continuing on its writing staff. He later co-created and starred in Detroiters with Sam Richardson, working with fellow creators Zach Kanin and Joe Kelly.

Robinson and Kanin then created I Think You Should Leave with Tim Robinson, a sketch series built around people who cannot let an awkward situation end. Their collaboration also produced HBO's The Chair Company, which expands an embarrassing workplace incident into a comedy about a far-reaching conspiracy.
