In 2004, Swardson wrote, produced and starred in a TV show pilot for Comedy Central called "Gay Robot", which was based on a comedy bit by the same name that appeared on Adam Sandler's fifth album, "Shh...Don't Tell"; Comedy Central, however, decided to pass on the TV project. Swardson then had intentions on making it an animated show, but the show never came to fruition. A copy of the live-action pilot was however made available on MySpace in January 2007. Swardson also resurrected the Gay Robot character on his Comedy Central Series "Nick Swardson's Pretend Time".
