Tim is the son of Mardell, a nurse’s assistant, and Lathon Meadows, who was a janitor. Tim was dedicated to education since an early age, and enrolled at Wayne State University, where he studied television and radio broadcasting.

His professional career began in Chicago, where he joined the The Second City comedy troupe, at the same time as Chris Farley. However, in 1991, Tim was selected for the cast of “Saturday Night Live”, and stayed with the show until 2000, setting the record for being the longest cast member, later broken by Darrell Hammond. During his tenure at SNL, he impersonated numerous celebrities, but also developed his own character, Leon Phelps, “The Ladies’ Man”, presenting as a horny talk show host, who believes that he is the embodiment of the man who attracts every woman. Thanks to his successful involvement in SNL, his popularity rose quickly, and he was able to launch an acting career, but also found engagement in several comedy shows, including “Late Night with Conan O’Brien” (1996-2008), “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno” (1996-2000), and after SNL “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson” (2006-2014), among others, all of which added to his net worth.

To speak of his acting career, Tim made his debut in the film “Coneheads” (1993), with Dan Aykroyd and Jane Curtin, and continued with roles in such films as “Wayne’s World 2” (1993), with Mike Myers as the star of the film, and he lent his voice to a character from Olive, the Other Reindeer” (1999).

In 2000, his character Leon from the SNL was brought to theaters, in the film “Ladies Man”, however, it wasn`t appreciated by critics, and the film was a commercial failure. Nevertheless, Tim continued with his acting career, securing roles in numerous TV series during the 2000s, including in such creations as “The Michael Richards Show” (2000), “Leap Of Faith” (2002), “The Even Stevens Movie” (2003), and “Mean Girls” (2004) in the first half of the decade. In the second part, he featured in “The Benchwarmers” (2006), “The Colbert Report” (2006-2014) “Lil’ Bush: Resident of the United States” (2007-2008), “The Bill Engvall Show” (2008-2010), “Easy to Assemble” (2009-2011), all of which increased his net worth by a large margin.

To speak further of his net worth, Tim appeared in the TV series “Glory Daze” (2010-2011), “Mr. Box Office” (2012-2013), “Bob’s Burgers” (2012-2016), and most recently he was selected as a cast member for the TV series “Son Of Zorn”, which is currently filming.
Regarding his personal life, Meadows was married to Michelle Taylor from 1997 until 2005; the couple have two children.

Quote
1 (2008, on having panic attacks working on SNL) I don’t know if it’s something that everybody goes through. I know I was going through the same thing he was going through. Mine would start when I would get on the train to go to work. I felt like I was going to have a heart attack. I would end up getting off the train before I got to work, and walking until I felt better… Then I talked to my doctor, and he said the thing to remember about panic attacks is that nothing is going to happen. You feel like you’re going to have a heart attack or can’t catch your breath, but it’s just your mind. Once he told me that, I was able to deal with it better. I stopped taking the train to work, and I started taking cabs or walking. After a certain point it didn’t bother me any more.
2 (2008, on Mean Girls) It was a really fun shoot to be on. It was the first time I had worked on something where I was the oldest person on the set, for the most part. It was the first time I really felt like an older dude. One night, I took the cast to see Chris Rock, who was performing in Toronto-I got everybody tickets, and we all met there, and I felt like a group leader or something, because it was all the girls and myself… I felt like I was a chaperone. I was making sure everybody had their seats and their tickets, and there was a little panic, because everybody had tickets but me. Lindsay [Lohan] was trying to get her publicist to get me a ticket, and I just called Chris, and I just came in and sat in the back with the sound people, and watched it from there.
3 (2008, on The Bill Engvall Show) I’ve learned to be very appreciative of these kinds of opportunities. After leaving SNL, I learned-it’s like the NBA. They say the young guys don’t know how hard it is to get to a championship. They think if they do it once, they can do it again. In show business, you don’t know how hard it is to get a sitcom to be on for more than five episodes, no matter how good it is… It’s getting harder and harder. Yeah. So I’m very grateful this opportunity came. And I’m happy to be in a position [where] they trust me to make my part better, or improve on the stuff they give me. Even though it’s a family comedy and it’s not exactly what I came up watching, or even what I watch now, I can still be happy with the stuff that I do.
4 (2008, on The Office) I didn’t have to audition. NBC showed [Steve] Carell a list of people they were thinking about, and he saw my name, and he goes, “Yeah, get Tim.” They called and asked me to do it, and then I said no, because it was one day of work, and it really wasn’t the kind of money I’m sort of used to getting for those kind of roles. So I was like, “Nah. I love the show, but I can’t sell myself short just because it’s NBC.” My manager was actually out of town. This is really kind of weird, but my manager’s assistant said, “I don’t know a lot about show business, but I think you should do this.” And I went “All right, yeah, it’s just one day.” So I went and did it, and I had a great time. [Co-creator] Greg Daniels was very cool, he was a really nice director. We improvised a little, but not a whole lot. The writing was really good.
5 (2008, on SNL) It is the best training for a first show-business job. There’s no job like that. The other thing is, coming from SNL, you totally get spoiled about having control over your sketches. When you leave there, unless you’re producing or writing, you never have as much power as you did there. You learn how to produce and direct, you learn how to work with actors, and you learn how to work with writers. You learn how to talk to people to get things you want done. You learn to compromise to get something done. If Friends had been my first sitcom, I don’t think I’d have had that kind of-you just show up, learn your lines. That’s not to say those guys don’t have any directing stuff or producing stuff, I’m sure they all do. They’re obviously more successful than me. But I think as a first job, it’s a great job to have.
6 [on The Michael Richards Show (2000)] Well, that was a very disappointing experience in my life. The great thing about that year is, my first son, Isaiah, was born. We moved out to Los Angeles for [the show]. But everything about it was the worst experience; to go from SNL to go to that… To go from working at a show where you had hands-on creativity to working on a show where you were working with somewhat of a dictator…I’m not naming names. He has since apologized to me. We ran into each other on the street, and he apologized. This was before his big comedy stand-up breakdown.
7 [on his career] I would love to only be doing David Mamet movies, but that’s not the career I have. I’m a journeyman. I work. If you need a good doorway made, then you call Tim Meadows. If you need someone to come in and make a character that’s not really funny in the script, or if you need somebody to improvise on the set and make it better, then I’m your man.
