Heidecker and Wareheim first became known as the makers, writers, and stars of Tom Goes to the Mayor, a limited animation series that originally aired from November 2004 to September 2006 on Adult Swim. Tim plays "Tom," the confused and optimistic protagonist of the show. He is presented as something of a pushover, a "nice guy who wants... to do good things." He continually brings his ideas to the Mayor , who ends up thwarting them in most cases and leaving Tom worse off than when he started. Heidecker has said that he is not much like Tom in reality. Heidecker and Wareheim's latest show, Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, premiered February 11, 2007 on Adult Swim. The eleven minute show features "live action, sketch, animation, emotions, phone calls, love, etc.", according to their website.
