He’s going to blow the roof off that place!
Page Six hears that Tim Dillon — a fixture in Joe Rogan’s coterie of comics — hopes to film his next special on Skid Row.
Comedy insiders tell us that Dillon, who already has three specials on Netflix, is trying to work through the practicalities of filming in L.A’s notorious homeless area.
“That’s what he wants to do,” a source said, “I think he just thinks it’s a funny thing to do.”
The downtown neighborhood, which covers 50 city blocks, seems to be a fascination of his.
He’s suggest on a podcast that a friend should do a “Bachelor”-style show with women from the area, and said on another show that he thinks L.A. should think of it as an asset.
“Let’s be proud of it,” he’s said, “Let’s say, ‘We are the top homeless destination in the world. I take friends now when they visit to Skid Row, and I’m proud of it. I’m like, ‘There’s 10,000 people right here!’”
On his last special, “Tim Dillon: I’m Your Mother,” he even joked about taking friends on a drive through the area as a Halloween activity.
“People were lunging at the car,” he said, “[My friend said] ‘It feels like we could die,’ and I was like, ‘We could definitely die!’”
He also has a taste for untraditional specials.
His 2024 Netflix special “Tim Dillon: This Is You Country” was an unscripted, Jerry Springer-style talk show in which he talked to “ordinary Americans” about current events.
Dillon is one of the comics who’s become associated with influential podcaster Rogan, along with Shane Gillis and Theo Von. Dillon has also become pals with Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Dillon and his reps didn’t get back to multiple requests for comment.
