What Is I Think You Should Leave With Tim Robinson About?

I Think You Should Leave was co-created by Robinson and Zach Kanin and stars Robinson in most of the sketches. It first debuted on Netflix on April 23, 2019, with the most recent season, Season 3, having premiered on May 30, 2023. The sketch comedy series centers on cringe and surreal humor, usually with characters in sketches finding themselves in embarrassing social or professional settings, some mundane and some bizarre.

The series is nominated for Outstanding Short Form Comedy Drama or Variety Series. The winner of that category, which also includes Awkwafina is Hanging’ With Grandma, Better Call Saul: Filmmaker Training, Carpool Karaoke: The Series, and Only Murders in the Building: One Killer Question will be announced during the second night of the 2023 Creative Arts Emmys, Sunday, January 7th.

In addition to Robinson, the series has featured various co-stars, including Sam Richardson, Cecily Strong, Vanessa Bayer, Tim Heidecker, Steven Yeun, Paul Walter-Hauser, and Bob Odenkirk. I Think You Should Leave sees Akiva Shaffer, Andy Samberg, and Jorma Taccone (The Lonely Island) and Ali Bell for Party Over Here serve as executive producers alongside Alex Bach and Dan Powell for Irony Point, and Alice Mathias.

“Zach [Kanin] and I just found ourselves writing a lot of scenes like that, where the person is refusing to admit they’ve done something wrong, or lying, and will do anything to cover that up,” Robinson previously told GQ. “So, it became the theme of the whole show because we kept gravitating towards writing those scenes.”
