Tim Robinson (born May 23, 1981) is an American actor, comedian, and writer. He is known for his work on Saturday Night Live, where he was a featured player and also served as a staff writer.
Robinson is a native of Detroit, Michigan. He has performed at The Second City, iO Theater, and Just for Laughs. He filmed a 2011 television pilot for Comedy Central called My Mans, but the show was not picked up by the network. Robinson is a 2000 graduate of Clarkston High School in Clarkston, Michigan. Robinson and his wife Heather have two children, a daughter and a son.
On September 15, 2012, Robinson made his debut as a featured player on Saturday Night Live. Prior to joining the cast of SNL, Robinson was cast as a series regular in the unaired CBS sitcom Friend Me. On September 15, 2013, it was announced that Robinson will work on the writing staff rather than continue being a cast member, making Tim Robinson the second cast member after Brian Doyle-Murray to go from featured player to staff writer, and the first SNL performer to become a writer after being cast only as a featured player. As a cast member, his celebrity impressions included Ben Bailey and Bill Cowher. Robinson also acted as the reoccurring character Carl, an elderly retail worker who would always get insulted by Niff (Bobby Moynihan) and Dana (Cecily Strong).
Robinson has appeared twice on late-night NBC talk show Late Night with Seth Meyers as Dale, who acts as host Seth Meyers' "emergency sidekick." Robinson's first appearance was on the February 28, 2014 episode, during the "Next Week's News" sketch, and his second appearance was on the April 8, 2014 episode, during the "Celebrity Drunk Texts" sketch.
