Currently, he co-stars on Comedy Central’s Detroiters, which he co-created with fellow Detroit native Sam Richardson (read our recent interview with Richardson about the show here). Detroiters returns for its second season on Thursday, June 21 at 10pm EST. In conjunction with the show’s return, Robinson was kind enough to participate in our twenty questions questionnaire series.

20. What would you cook if Nic Cage was coming to your house for dinner?
I would probably ask him what he likes, and try my best to make it. Why is coming over? Are we friends in this question? If so I would probably know what he likes. I guess I just don’t know the context of the dinner. so my first question would be like “What’s up man? Whats the plan for tonight?” And if he is like “No plan, just kinda want to chill with my bud” then I would be like “Sweet. Just head over and we can figure it out.”
Nic – sounds good, see you in a few.
Tim- awesome. see ya later Nic
Nic- whats that?
Tim – No, I just said see you later Nic.
Nic – oh cool, ha ha sorry.
Tim- ha ha ha no worries dude. see you tonight.
Nic- yep. Later.
Tim- later pal.
