Netflix’s breakout sketch comedy series I Think You Should Leave has reached a level of cult phenomenon that one of the show’s actors is only just beginning to process.

“Somebody’s got a tattoo of Tim [Robinson] on their leg,” says actor Sam Richardson. “I’m like, wow. I guess that’s it. That’s the point. We made it.”

Richardson is in awe of the show’s viral status, which has led to a tidal wave of memes, an unlikely breakout star, and niche fan accounts like the brilliant NBA/I Think You Should Leave crossover. Richardson starred alongside Robinson, his lifelong best friend, in Comedy Central’s Detroiters, the short-lived but critically acclaimed buddy comedy about two Detroit ad men. After the series was canceled in late 2018 and was unable to find a second life on a streaming platform, Robinson and Detroiters co-creator and producer Zach Kanin landed the Netflix sketch series and found a natural spot for their buddy Sam in two standout season one sketches, “Baby of the Year” and a post-apocalyptic take on A Christmas Carol.

When we caught up with Richardson, he was promoting Hooking Up, a romantic comedy in which he stars alongside Brittany Snow (we’ll have a full interview with the stars soon). We asked the VEEP actor to provide an update on the highly anticipated I Think You Should Leave season 2, and he confirmed his involvement.
