About Tim Dillon
Dillon does not shy away from telling people about the rough life he has had. He was a child actor, appearing on Sesame Street at a young age. By the time he was 12, he was doing cocaine. At the time, Dillon was a closeted homosexual and his mother was schizophrenic. Later in life, he landed a gig selling people subprime mortgages.
“I didn’t know how bad it was going to get,” he said. “I took one myself.” Dillon bought a $570,000 house that he could not afford. Eventually, after he lost his job and the mortgage crisis hit the United States, he lost his home as well. That dramatic change is what inspired him to pursue comedy.

Tim Dillon Quotes
Yeah, I bought a house with a subprime mortgage in 2007. It was a two-year fixed rate and, like everybody else in America, I had no idea that in two years you wouldn’t be able to refinance. It was foreclosed in 2010, right before I started stand-up.
YouTubers are going to have millions of dollars, millions of fans, and no skills when they’re all 40
Most comics don’t deserve money.
I tried to sell mortgages for just under a year and saw the tail end of the mortgage crisis. I was not great at it. There was nothing really to sell. The only people at that time who were left in the business were idiots like myself.
