Start of Television Career

With Wareheim, Heidecker created, wrote, and starred in the Adult Swim animated show "Tom Goes to the Mayor." Airing from 2004 to 2006, the program featured a crude limited animation style utilizing filtered photos of the voice cast. It focused on the childish character of the Mayor, voiced by Wareheim, and the entrepreneur Tom Peters, voiced by Heidecker, whose ideas are turned into disasters by the Mayor. Following this, in 2007, Heidecker and Wareheim created the web series talk show "Tim and Eric Nite Live!," which parodied public-access shows. Throughout its short-lived run, the program featured such guests as Zach Galifianakis, Will Forte, Jonah Hill, and Bob Odenkirk.

Heidecker and Wareheim reached a broader audience with the debut of "Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!" in 2007. A medley of animation, sketch, live action, and other surreal and satirical elements, the 11-minute show became a cult hit with audiences, running for five seasons. Many high-profile names appeared on the program, including regular guests such as Jeff Goldblum, Maria Bamford, and "Weird Al" Yankovic. There were also appearances from the likes of Will Ferrell, Ben Stiller, David Cross, Ted Danson, Danny Trejo, and Josh Groban. At the end of its run, the show aired a holiday episode called "Chrimbus Special." Later, in 2017, another special was aired to commemorate the tenth anniversary of the series.
