Comedian and actor Tim Dillon recently shared his thoughts on staying in Los Angeles, Hollywood’s recent firestorms, and why Democrats can be more competitive.
After a brief stint in Austin, Texas, Rising Hub of Stand-Up Comedy Hub, partly caught up by Joe Logan’s new club, Comedy Mothership – Dillon decides to return to LA
He expressed his view of LA politics as “bad” and prefers Texans over Californians, but the comedian insisted that there was no comparison between the two cities in terms of beauty.
“There are a lot of issues with LA, but LA is a world-class metropolitan city like New York. Austin is a small university town. No comparison. Austin is a growing city, but no infrastructure. It’s an ugly place, brown, the lake is green, warm and gross.

California and LA are often the ass of political banter by conservatives, but comedians say, “California is the most beautiful state in the country. Otherwise, don’t you care that it’s ruined by psychopaths?”
When fires were torn across the Los Angeles section in January, Dillon took the podcast, The Tim Dillon Show, telling the world what he thought of California Governor Gavin Newsom’s handling of disasters.

Despite his complaints, Dillon explained in an interview with Fox News Digital that he chose to stay in California and defend change rather than leave.
“I don’t live in a place for politics. That’s itself. I want to tell them that I live in California and argue with people and try to save them that they’re wrong. I think they need to elect Rick Caruso,” the comedian proposed.
Rick Caruso, who became Los Angeles mayor as a Democrat in 2022, was an outspoken critic of Governor Newsom after the Palisade fired last year.

When asked if there was anything to leave LA forever, Dillon replied, “No, I have a home in New York and I have a home in a wealthy place.
Dillon, whose new comedy special “Tim Dillon: I’m Mother” debuted on Netflix on April 15th, is also an actor, providing insights into two of Hollywood’s biggest flops over the last year.
The comedian played a prison guard in the unfortunate sequel “Joker: Folly Adhes,” and said on the podcast he saw a failure happening during production.
“We sat there, me and the others all wore these security outfits. We work in Arkham’s asylum so I look at one of them, we hear this crap and say, ‘What is this?’ and they’ll go, ‘This is going to bomb, man.’ “This is the worst thing I’ve ever seen,” Dillon explained in his podcast.
Dillon told Fox News Digital that unlike several films from last year that were bombed for politics, “Joker: Folieà Deux” is a “concept and execution” failure.
“I think it’s just an old-fashioned mistake. It’s a swing and a mistake,” the comedian said.

Meanwhile, according to Dillon, the live-action remake of Disney’s Snow White has failed.
“I think Snow White was like a mix [politics and execution] Because I think a lot of this decision was like there were no dwarfs in the film called Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs. And you have a very outspoken young actress, if you want to sell the product to many people, you probably have to cut back on some of the opinions of the people in it,” Dillon explained.
Rachel Zegler, the “outstanding” actress who played Snow White, made headlines for all the wrong reasons leading up to the film’s premiere.
Shortly after President Donald Trump won the 2024 presidential election, Zegler took him to social media to defeat Trump and his supporters.
“Supporters, Trump voters and Trump herself may never know peace,” the actress wrote on social media, sparking a flare of anger from conservatives.

Turning to politics, Dillon advised Democrats on how they could be competitive after a major defeat in 2024.
“I think the party, Democrats need to ease some of the positions they have on social issues and get economically more radical to become a competitive party again. I think that’s probably their victory position… to remove a lot of corporate big money players from their roster,” Dillon said.

The comedian argued that Democrats should promote “populist economic policies” and increase candidates with more centralist views on divisive social issues.
“As you know, biological men in women’s sports is a hot button issue. The public gave a verdict. They didn’t want it. The kids don’t want it. They don’t want it. On those issues, we’ve adopted the economic message of populist and I think once again if they can do so, they’ll be very competitive.”
