TJ Miller gives interview.

http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/tj-miller-says-leaving-silicon-valley-was-like-a-breakup-1016573

 

Doesn't sound like an amicable parting.  He's so busy it messed up production schedules.  But without the show, will he get as many bookings, sell out as many venues?  I saw his HBO special, didn't really feel it.

He seems quite full of himself (though it's difficult to tell from a transcript whether he's being serious), but he's not wrong about the show having become repetitive.

I sincerely don't know what TJ Miller is doing with his recent interviews. He's not popular or well known enough to be such a jerk, yet here he is being a total jerk.

The movie he did was terrible. I saw his stand up special and thought it was not funny, not even a little bit. I guess he thinks he's got a bunch of opportunities outside of being on the show and maybe he did before the industry heard his opinions. But men do tend to get more chances so maybe he'll be ok. I was so bummed when I heard he was leaving the show but I don't think I'll be watching him in the future.

I agree - honestly his character was wearing pretty thin on me too.  Good riddance.

From the article:

Quote

"There is no question that T.J. is really funny and that Erlich was really funny," says Judge. "But I think there was only one time in the room where it was like, 'Oh, that would've been a good thing for Erlich.' There have been way more times where I've said, 'I wish we had Chris Evan Welch back.'"

Burn! I completely agree with this, but I'm still surprised Mike Judge said it on the record.

The comments on the show's FB page mostly bemoan T.J.'s exit, but I'm looking forward to see what the dynamic is like without him. He tended to be very broad with his comedy and chew the scenery quite a bit. I'll only miss Erlich's scenes with Jian Yang, and that's mostly because of Jian Yang.

ETA: The cover photo looks like they're testing a new jerking-off algorithm

Looks like Miller's road to self-destruction has just taken a very sharp turn. It's sad to see happening, but he won't be the first, nor the last, to spiral down a dark path. This stunt could potentially land him in federal prison for five years.

A drunken T.J. Miller was arrested for calling in a fake bomb threat.

From the article, it sounds like Miller got into an argument with a woman on his train, and wanted to get her in trouble for carrying a bomb.  But then he called 911 and identified the wrong train.

He's pretty much flushing his career down the drain. Which sucks because he's been in some high profile stuff and can be really funny.  He's doing it to himself though. According to IMDB he's reprising his role in the Deadpool sequel, I wonder with this latest stuff if they'll cut him out or cut some of his scenes.
