Back in 2004, an unknown duo named Tim & Eric sent an unsolicited envelope to Bob, one of their comedy heroes. Inside was a T-shirt, a DVD, and an invoice…yes, an invoice for the unrequested goods. This tactic got the attention of old Bob, so he gave them a call.
In order to help them try to get their particular brand of comedy out there, Bob contacted Adult Swim, and miraculously…they passed. But coincidentally, unbeknownst to Bob, Tim & Eric had also sent their DVD to a different contact at Adult Swim, and miraculously…they were interested!
So, even though Bob’s efforts to get them a deal did not land, their success still owes a great deal to him. He was their first champion, helped the boys flesh out their content, acted and voiced characters in sketches, and ended up being a creative consultant (*cough* executive producer) on their program Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job! The boys may have eventually made it on their own, but it seems worth mentioning that things would not have gone the same without Bob in their corner.
