Tim Dillon Summons the Spirit of “Corporate Ghosting” in Netflix’s Roast Extravaganza

Buy Me A Coffee

Tim Dillon, the comedian with no brakes and possibly no filter, has dropped jaws and turned heads again. This time, he’s playing the “ghost” of recently deceased UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson in his Netflix special, Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year. And trust us, this roast got extra crispy.

In case you’ve been living under a Wi-Fi dead zone, Brian Thompson, the actual CEO of UnitedHealthcare, tragically met his demise outside a Manhattan hotel on December 4. Suspect Luigi Mangione was swiftly arrested, leaving the world puzzled and Twitter trolls…well, busier than usual.

So what does Tim Dillon do? He straps on a navy pullover, beige khakis, and a chain ensemble (call it Casual Friday: Afterlife Edition), and hops onstage, declaring, “I’m Brian Thompson. I’m going to hell for this… you might as well laugh.”

And laugh they did—or cringed. Who can tell these days?

Ghostly Humor, Health Insurance Style
“I’m the CEO of UnitedHealthcare,” Tim-as-Thompson announced, before throwing the proverbial bone to the Twitter mob. “I understand that a lot of you are happy I’m dead.”

But wait, there’s more!

“Yeah, I read the tweets! You don’t think they have X in hell? That’s all they have in hell! Half the people commenting on there are burning in a vat of boiling oil.” And if you think he stopped there, you must be new to Dillon’s comedy.

He skewered the healthcare industry with lines sharper than a rejected insulin needle:

“Your reaction to my murder makes me sick… and not the type of sick I would immediately deny for not having the proper paperwork. You’ve gotta have the paperwork!”

Classic Thompson, if Thompson were a stand-up comedian from beyond the grave.

Too Soon? Never for Tim Dillon
Tim’s faux CEO ghost even reminisced about his final moments: “My last thought? I love my job. Not because I gave people healthcare, but because I denied it! Oh, your nana needs her insulin? Maybe your nana needs to make better choices.”
