Comedian plays ‘ghost’ of UnitedHealthcare CEO on Netflix three weeks after murder

Comedian Tim Dillon appeared as the “ghost” of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson during Netflix’s Torching 2024: A Roast of the Year, less than a month after the insurance executive was murdered in Manhattan.

The 39-year-old stand-up and podcast host appeared dressed similarly to a widely-shared photo of Thompson, 50, wearing a navy blue pullover and tan khakis. He was also wrapped in black chains and tossed orange pill bottles into the crowd, announcing: “This is fentanyl, laced with more fentanyl.”
