Tim Heidecker is an American comedian, writer, director, actor, and musician. He's a true living legend of modern comedy content creation, and likely one of your favorite comedians favorite comedian. Whether you know him from "Tim And Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!", the film "Bridesmaids", his weekly YouTube podcast "Office Hours Live" or a million other things, Tim's prolific output over the past two decades has played a major role in the architecture of the comedic zeitgeist. His new music album Slipping Away is possibly his finest work, a fun loving album that deals with vulnerable subjects in a sincere way while keeping your head nodding to the groove. Jaymee and Tim met up on the set of Office Hours Live to discuss the McGriddle, good trips on shrooms (and bad trips on acid), the intimidating nuance of his comedy, the institution of SNL, Aubrey Plaza's compliment, Tim's spiritual (non-spiritual) outlook, and what he's intimidated by.
