Abso Lutely Productions is an American film and television production company owned by actors Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim and producer Dave Kneebone.[1][4] It is known for producing TV shows such as Tom Goes to the Mayor; Nathan for You; The Eric Andre Show; Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!; and Check It Out! with Dr. Steve Brule.[3]
Tim Heidecker’s father has been featured in the company’s vanity logo since 2006. Sourced from a home video with a June 28, 1991 time stamp, he says, “Abso-lutely,” providing inspiration for the company name. This was in response to Tim (then 15 years old) asking him to sum up his vacation in two words.[5]
