He considers writing for the show to be harder than performing.

“I th- I think writing is harder. Like it's hard to do. I I don't know. I still find writing is hard. Like you ne- it never gets really easy. But performing is just a whole other skill that that uh you don't know if you have until you're doing it.”

Tim Dillon believes the show is currently lazy and relies on low-hanging fruit when it attempts political satire.

“I said that the show now is kind of lazy mediocre hacks not every sketch not everything they do certainly not everybody that works there but you know when they go political they they it's low hanging fruit they're not trying to do anything that makes you go wow”
