i think the backstory to that was that the clock in the theater was a minute off, and he couldn't fix it, so in order for movie heads across the globe to tune in properly with the victorville screenings they would have to account for that time difference

That is (a) precisely what would happen to Gregg and (b) exactly how Gregg would handle it.

Let’s face it: Gregg has always been a bit ahead of the rest of Hollywood. This fits.

Decker was obvious to me from the start but it took some dumbposting for me to realize Kington was the same thing. I thought it was great as a standalone name because it’s almost but not quite just a basic normal joe name, like Tim calls him Kingston once or twice

Tim loves to put an L there listen close. Which makes sense since is trick to doing the character is to get the que cards blurry and squint at them and try and read it phonetically and don't try and guess what the word is so it likely looks like Klngtn

Tim was interviewed on NPR a few years ago and he talked about how he comes up with the distinctive Decker voice:

https://www.npr.org/2019/11/18/780524375/tim-heidecker-the-craziest-day-of-my-career

The whole thing is only 12 minutes long and worth listening to but the bit about the Decker process starts a bit before the 6-minute mark.

Last year's special is going to be hard to top. Rewatching it, I dont remember at what point I realized what the joker's trick was, but god what a payoff. A feat of acting and live editing

Yeah it's so impressive. I wonder if they do a full dress rehearsal. I reckon they don't because it all still seems so spontaneous. But at the same time they've obviously set up cameras for specific shots.

I think top Oscar Specials for me are last years, 3rd, and 4th.

I wonder if Kim Delgado from the 3rd special is connected with the Delgado family.

I think he's just run out of permutations of his own surname for projects, and needs something new in the tank there.

And it's Toni's married name that he takes. He doesn't realise until toward the end of the Oscar Special when he asks here why her parents don't have the same last name as her.

In the very early seasons pre-Ayaka, Tim mentions that he has a son. That seems to have been forgotten in the On Cinema canon but I would love for him to show up someday.

Tim was drinking to celebrate his wedding.

Gregg was sober behind the wheel of a car that killed people.

You’re right. When you lay it out like that it’s clearly Tim’s fault :rolleyes:

It’s not the drinking that’s an issue, it’s having an incompetent co-host. With Gregg gone, I’m sure Tim will be responsible and keep it fun.

I think when he mentioned the 14 year old son that one time it was just a cover up because he had been filming Decker over the weekend and he was still keeping that a secret, but it wouldn’t be too out there for Tim if it was true

I know she technically might have let a guy who may have been guilty of several counts of manslaughter go free, but I still hope she doesn't get too screwed by Tim's shenanigans.

I love it whenever Gregg introduces a new segment and it's always some cover to drop a massive drama bomb on Tim. I watched one of the Oscar Specials today and it took me a few minutes to connect the dots that Peyton Reed was the director of Ant Man.

It pains me to say this as a true Deckerhead, but Mark's performance as Decker was so good and so authentic that I didn't realize it was him until years later.
Mark really is a truly incredible impressionist and it's a shame that Gregg almost certainly ended his career for good.
