So Things Got Weird With T.J. Miller

[@MrEthan0329]

Here's some inside information on a joke Colbert makes in this interview, as I was in the studio audience that day: After Colbert gets the egg on him (a little after 3:00), he says "I'm excited I have more than one suit." The reason the audience went so wild at that line (because it's really not that funny) is because before the taping of the show, Colbert does a Q&A. The first question was from a lady who stood up and asked him "Why do you wear the same suit every day?" The audience (and even Stephen) all laughed at the question, because of course he doesn't wear the same suit every day. Stephen was so flabbergasted, and could barely get his words out. He explained to her that he doesn't wear the same suit every day, and how he had worn a grey suit the day before, and today was a blue one. If you watched this episode live, you may have noticed he came out in the beginning before the monologue and said something like "We have a great show tonight, and I'm wearing one of my many suits." I can't find that line on the internet, but it did air on TV.

[@KeithCarey33]

Nice

[@fetmar]

Haha, that explains so much. How do you know this?

[@RuyGuy]

I think this is the first time I've seen Colbert genuinely pissed.

[@mariokarter13]

He's a damn professional. I salute you, sir!

[@HowlsFury]

he looks like he wants to slap tj miller with those skeleton hands, pretty sure I see a vein pulsing above Colbert's eye lol

[@LikeCraazy]

+Monster when was he pissed? he seemed to enjoy himself?

[@HowlsFury]

+LikeCraazy re watch the video and pay attention to his eyes and jaw line.

[@mattleddy9049]

I think Colbert kept it classy at the end while also asserting his control and dominion over his show by taking the skelly-hands himself and placing them on his own face. That idea had a vague, Dadaist potential, but also had an undercurrent of the slob guy delighting in trying to get away with murder on TV. He should go do this to Oprah or something, sure it'll go over just great.

[@abdullahmoiz8151]

founder of aviato

[@SuperKillerpickle]

Am I the only one here who enjoyed the interview? Colbert was just playing the part of the straight man, and TJ Miller was just being goofy

[@Mortablunt]

I don't think so. Colbert got genuinely bitchy later in the interview. There were some moments when he also looked like he was really really not enjoying his guest at all.

[@ardien.535]

Colbert didn't seem pissed to me.

[@SiddharthBhandari_official]

+JAM F aren't you doing the same..???

[@nickg63]

+Ar die Agreed. He was playing along in the best way possible. This meant feigning annoyance.

[@notmatt2270]

+Ar die It was the egg. Colbert seemed to tolerate that at best. He got egg splooged on his eyeglasses, on his suit.

[@JaseekaRawr]

+Ar die Didn't seem pissed, but clearly a bit agitated; which made it awkward. Not Matt Damon splooged ;)

[@romanfox5368]

+Ar die "You're wife doesn't love this?" Knocks egg shell off desk onto floor. Says he's glad he has a second suit. Talks when he says they should be quiet, and hushes TJ. Also all the non-verbal body language.

[@Max_Casual]

T.J. Miller absolutely succeeded in making me want to watch an award show.

[@mattleddy9049]

Sorta like wanting to watch the Hindenburg approach its mooring mast.

[@m1k3y48]

+Matthew Leddy Doesn't make it any less interesting.

[@Halesburg]

Look up TJ miller tech awards. Pretty funny stuff.

[@CRAY0NEAT3R]

T.J. Miller treats every talk show spot like a performance piece. He's hilarious.

[@SameBasicRiff]

+kevin martin just what this show needed, a little more tom foolery. TJ Miller is one the funniest people on the planet.

[@bangthehankers1985]

+kevin martin Most comedians do something similar. They test material wherever they can, or they use popular material to hook in more would-be fans.

[@TheYakisobaNoodle]

TJ Miller is a piece of unfunny shit. And an entitled asshole that thinks he is funnier than he is. Annoying fucker.

[@rochat]

"So Things Got Weird With T.J. Miller" I would expect no less.

[@TheExgymnast]

Update: TJ Miller will not be asked back on The Late Show.

[@MrMultiPlatform]

+TheExgymnast Update 2: He don't care

[@mkII.]

+TheNeoReaper Update 3 neither does anyone on Earth, TJ Miller is a fucking nothing in comedy or movies. Gotta be the most annoying fucker ever, worse than puck from real world.

[@neilcheeseburger]

If the Critics Choice Awards is any indication, he will be asked to host Late Night soon.

[@trendhouse6799]

+TheNeoReaper Yeah, right, except he's willing to smash an egg on his face to make himself stand out. That wasn't even funny, that was just awkward. This guy is 5 minutes away from that girl who sucked her bloody tampon for publicity. Also, Mr "I don't believe in awards, but I still gladly accept them and host them" lol

[@AlonzoJamie]

+TheExgymnast Update: TJ Miller will be asked to host The Late Show.

[@davidmsirois]

Stephen Colbert really is a master at what he does. TJ Miller takes over pretty much any show he's on with his antics and will alienate nearly everyone... but Colbert was able to deflect, add or move on with such precision. Even TJ Miller you can tell a few times was visibly impressed Colbert was just sparring back like a gentlemen. That was awesome.

[@NoName-rg3np]

Stoked for Deadpool!

[@defroach]

Oh f-yeah!!!!!!!

[@PeterBondeVillain]

T. J. is the best. I love how people can't see the sarcasm behind the "egg on the face" bit

[@vaibhavgupta20]

+Peter Beck can you explain?

[@PeterBondeVillain]

Vaibhav Gupta It's like when you make a bad joke on purpose because it surprises people.

[@djmartens123]

+Peter Beck Except it wasn't surprising as he was clearly trying to get a prop out of his jacket for 15 seconds.

[@PeterBondeVillain]

Daniel Martens It wasn't supposed to. Google anti-humor.

[@GMahlerVerehrer]

+Peter Beck There is fine, subtle, substantial sarcasm and there are things like smashing an egg on the face.

[@Milesamanjaro]

So was T.J. recording this whole session from his coat pocket during the entire interview?!

[@grandiose_3392]

I was thinking the same thing

[@frogwart70]

lol that was hilarious! those award shows are just celebrities patting themselves on the back. the egg on the face bit was great. Self deprecating and sarcastic. Some of you are waaay too upset. it's not like smashed an egg on YOUR faces. lighten up...or just light up ;)

[@mdevres]

I don't think that he was pissed... uncomfortable certainly, but not pissed, Colbert don't do angry ;)

[@naughtycursor]

"I'm excited that I have more than one suit"...there my friends. Letterman has been channeled back into the Ed Sullivan Theater. There he is man. Colbert is definitely the rightful replacement for Letterman. What I'm saying is that was a very Letterman-esque thing to say.

[@Stbuster31]

+naughtycursor thought the same thing.

[@christiansrensen6808]

Thought the exact same thing. It's a part of Letterman I never liked. Sad to see it in Stephen.

[@Looserkid13]

This is different type of comedy than some people came to see but this guy is a master at it. And he's cashing in on his talent. ...Now i'm going to watch that award show.

[@SqueebzEZ]

Why is everyone so angry at TJ Millar?

[@ensteffo]

+Jarrett Edwards They are scared because he does not fit in to their square.

[@hhijazi6296]

+ensteffo The square that you're referring to is merely a boundary for what is considered acceptable behavior by society.

[@SameBasicRiff]

+H Hijazi more like acceptable thought.

[@SqueebzEZ]

+Leo Mulla he's a comedian and he was being a comedian people need to stop being stuck up fucks

[@JoshLsmith1]

+Jarrett Edwards People have grown to love Colbert to the point where they're currently being overprotective over what they deem as him being disrespected in this interview. I love Colbert. He looked mildly annoyed, but he's dished it out in the past, he can handle it. I thought it was funny. The part with the skeletons hands killed me. Oh, and TJ Millar... I don't know how to describe it but he just puts off the combined attitude/image of someone I wouldn't want to be around. I go from liking him to hating him while watching Silicon Valley based on nothing but how tired of seeing him I am. Something about him makes you judge him before you know him.

[@cleanliving1612]

Now here's a guy who's trying really, really hard

[@anthonyreynoso7275]

I remember when I used to see TJ in some old movies I would just think what a nerd lol. Then after watching some of his stand-up and his awesome performance in Deadpool, TJ is one of my favorite comedians.

[@theazn07]

im more disturbed that he's wearing that shirt untucked like a homeless teenager

[@dln.sweeney]

+theazn07 Don't even get me started on the jeans.

[@bluecollarmenproductions]

It's his style dude you're nitpicky huh

[@tylermelton7490]

He probably does it on purpose. It's part of his talk show scheme. It's fucking genius

[@117johnpar]

+theazn07 I'm a homeless teenager and that offends me.

[@benedictifye]

+HyperLeafBlower the jeans are probably stained by previous egg-yolk incidents

[@Chipotleaway]

TJ is my favorite comedian unconventional and a crazy genius.

[@manumercuri7207]

What i really like about Stephen is that he always knows how to play along with the guests. In this case the guest was all over the place and he knew that TJ ddint want to play with anyone else, he just wanted to do his bit. So Stephen remained as antagonist, and that`s when it got most funny.

[@Fryerstarter]

TJ was definitely playing with himself. It was painful to watch.

[@poopmatt]

Lol I love everyone saying "you just don't get it. You have to look at the different layers of his comedy." That is even funnier than this guy.

[@waltermcmain3461]

Are you telling me it was too difficult to stash a can of cool whip and a pie tin? Come on, eggs? What is this, 1912?

[@waltermcmain3461]

It's unsanitary. No class. Just think of the physical comedy of the sound combined with the hand gesture, slight dramatic pause, punctuate with a slap of cool whip to the face. I'm not saying it was a bad act, but the eggsecution was terrible.

[@mullaleo85]

+Walter McMain (Walts) Buster Keaton is gonna be pissed he stole his gag.

[@Kevlanco]

"I guess the cool whip is on my face!" You're right! That works so much better! Makes way more sense!

[@waltermcmain3461]

Bah! No "I guess" commitment to the gag in one way or another, no guessing though. Hell, he could have donned a pout, and with very low energy pull out a red clown nose, put it on, honk it, take out the pie tin and cool whip, fill it up, slap himself in the face and go "Happy now?" As long as he played it up and looked committed to the gag, whatever narrative arch it might play in the long run, it'll at least be mildly entertaining.

[@Darkesthorseradio]

This is the kind of gutsy appearance you don't see anymore. Great job TJ.

[@Swameh]

this needs it's own show, just all of this.

[@darkforest1165]

When T.J. said major motion picture I was honestly hoping for him to say "How to Train your Dragon" 😂😂😂

[@ViperRob]

Yea, he does seem pissed off and 'totally done' after the egg bit

[@sethtear1688]

yeah without a doubt. did you see the way he brushed the egg shell off the desk? dude was pissed

[@stockjonebills]

whats with his pants is that dirt?

[@Milesamanjaro]

+stockjonebills His only pair...

[@oliverburke]

+stockjonebills maybe stylish rust color

[@iNuchalHead]

+stockjonebills Dried yolk.

[@KonnorC]

+stockjonebills He also doesn't have his shirt tucked in, think it was supposed to be funny.

[@adfggffffffddffd]

Yeah it's dried yolk from when he rehearsed the bit. "Okay I smash myself in the face with the egg then I say 'Egg on my face' Damn it I messed it up again."

[@elijahw1931]

TJ Miller has said in calm, relaxed, normal-person interviews that he loves doing early morning news guest slots and talk show slots like this because he treats it as like half-comedy half-performance art. He knows what a tool he's being and I think he's one of the funniest people on the planet. For something from him that's in a completely different vein, try his This Is Not Happening video.

[@derekfurst6233]

Elijah W his vanilla normal stand up is among the funniest shit out there he just prefers this

[@BananaPieGaming]

I hope you guys realize the whole interview was supposed to be a joke and it was supposed to be awkward.

[@Scoob505]

+BananaPie not necessarily

[@Scoob505]

+Chris Hill what does that even mean.

[@Scoob505]

Chris Hill Not the awkwardness that TJ Miller brought into it, that was a different kind of awkwardness, one in which Colbert was not expecting and did not really appreciate.

[@DannyWilliamH]

Not like that. Miller has a shtick but he was trying too hard and the egg thing was clearly not planned by both parties. The guy is annoying when trying to hard and this is an instance. Colbert didn't seem mad but like he lost respect for him as a comedian lol. Shows put out feelers for guests but most are booked by agents of the guest. I'm sure Colbert was thinking of all of the people they turned down for that moronic 5 mins.

[@DannyWilliamH]

+Chris Hill Dude. I don't dislike Miller. He's been solid and I've mentioned here that he was fine up until the egg. You can even tell he was thinking twice about doing it as he's looking for it. Colbert isn't Carson, btw. I'm glad he's not. Either way, he was clearly unimpressed with Miller the same way a teacher is with a student thay thinks they're brilliant, etc. Like him or not he's not a comic genius or avant-garde or whatever. He's a dude that often tries too hard and often bombs when he does. He's better when he's just being himself and the clip is a perfect example of that. Even a fan has to admit when this was lame and cringe worthy, dude. David Cross is my favorite comedian but he has given a million great interviews and a bunch of clunkers. That's ok as it doesn't validate me or something haha. I can admit when he bombs or comes across like a moron. No sacred cows, dude.

[@tarantino900]

Deadpool will be amazing!!

[@Operamatt]

+Anthony VP Marvel has gone to shit anyway. Disney only cares about the bottom line and releases an abundance of mediocre films. Deadpool looks actually promising

[@fluffypanda4641]

+Anthony VP Deadpool is trash

[@Operamatt]

***** Well I'm talking from a purely cinematic standpoint. Comics are for geeks ;) Marvel is going to the dumps with it's Disney bullshit. It'll be nice to actually have some adult content associated with the brand.

[@Usadiscgolf107]

+Anthony VP Oh, Anthony. How wrong you were...

[@anthonylombardo1261]

+USA Disc Golf my name is anthony and i think deadpool was good, this anthony gives anthony a bad name

[@Rockyo987]

Congratulations, Stephen, you've finally made it! You got your Joaquin Phoenix/Andy Kaufman interview, and not even a year in!

[@QraQrJaq]

This wasn’t even that bad, except for the egg part. He played along with the whole skeleton hands just fine.

[@spaceghost5371]

It's not everyday something claims to be weird, and actually is. Well done TJ.

[@arblahblah]

These comments are hilarious. "Fuck this guy for not fitting into the box my small brain is trapped in"

[@progrocker2112]

+Ron Burgundy "She always said society put us in our respective boxes, that we were restricted by what people thought we should be rather than what we were. The cool thing about Melissa was she always said her box was big enough for everybody. That's what she said...that's what she said."

[@nickpagano7134]

right. that's what it is. it couldn't possibly be that hes just a mediocre comedian. because of comedian is funny right? people are wrong about carlos mencia. he is hilarious!

[@feedingfiction]

My favourite TJ Miller moment is after he dies on Transformers.

[@Doorkicker505]

That was so weird. I loved it !!!

[@DrTurdsley]

Netflix or HBO needs to give Miller a stand-up special already. Not that this was a particularly funny bit but his stand-up is top notch imo.

[@deannalovesss]

Freakin love this guy👉👈 Man! Kate I'm happy for you.😊

[@8cho9ueve]

Does anyone know the music the band is playing when T.J. walked in?

[@billr442]

Here's my take on it. Things were a little weird for 3:33. At this point, TJ makes a joke and looks at Colbert, who does not laugh at the joke. This seems to anger TJ, as seconds later he interrupts Colbert mid question. This leads to some awkward exchanges as Colbert offers a chance for them to stop conversing (possible hint to TJ?) Stephen attempts to restart the conversation but yet again TJ interrupts at which point Colbert quickly decides to give up hope and reaches down for the skeleton hands, which is TJ's last act. You can see the look of despair and failure on TJ's face as Colbert reaches down for the hands but he has no choice but to perform his final act and end his brief appearance on the Colbert show.

[@swiftyrocks08]

T.J Miller is on that next level comedy. He needs no award. But the irony is that people will still want to give him awards for his work in the film and stand up industry. Eventually possibly moving up to production of films. There is no limit for a guy so talented and creative.

[@swagistan69420]

There in fact was a limit

[@tbrogoit02]

"..I...I'm excited I have more than one suit (everyone laughs, Colbert looks kinda salty).....so, you're telling me...youre wife doesnt like this?!?" haha

[@WixkedLovy]

This made me sad because I love T.J. Miller and Stephen looked very annoyed.

[@marcusarelius]

When does this show get pushed to 1AM EST?

[@without_a_face04]

that was a very refreshing talk show appearance lol

[@PumpkinCreep]

T.J. Miller is fucking hilarious! I laughed my ass off while watching this. And honestly there is no way Stephen Colbert would get angry over a small thing like that, he was only acting that way to make it funnier.

[@jamesphelan5523]

This interview was like a onion So many layers

[@Taobeth]

No surprise that he hosted the Andy Kaufman Awards. This is surely a nod to his appearances on David Letterman!

[@jdwhitewolf]

Finally! Comedy happens on SC's show which is UN-scripted! Nice! I hope he realizes we get the most out of it -- and he's at his best -- when he has to improvise. :) Fun!

[@derekfurst6233]

Guys, he does this in literally every interview. Being on colbert's show was a milestone for him so he hammed it up. Sure he's SLIGHTLY more serious on certain shows like conan, but this is his thing. "make things weird for the interviewer"

[@Deviant69]

i loved it when he put the eggshell on the desk 😂

[@Matika]

At 4:14 you can see the cut from two different takes. Colbert probably stopped the taping to scold TJ and let the anger out haha

[@Holipsism]

After seeing this, just like I figured, it was much to do about nothing. I love both of these guys.

[@davidreinhard6037]

Today, I watched my beautiful daughter come into this world. I held her in my arms as she opened her eyes for the first time to gaze into mine. This miracle of nature, that I was honored to have a hand in creating... was the second most beautiful thing i’ve seen today after this video.

[@raven50x]

Wrong title, it was supposed to be: "T.J. Miller Pisses Off Stephen Colbert in Less Than Five Minutes"

[@mothvile]

T. J Miller is a fucking legend. Idgaf what people say, he's hilarious

[@JayJay-fi6vv]

I don't know why I laughed but I did!

[@tastytom42]

Colbert's just mad he had to throw to commercial. That skeleton hand bit definitely had more jokes.

[@dylanjones268]

Maaaaaaaan! I only came to this video because someone said "I'm surprised they let TJ back on the show, last time he threw an egg in his face." I was hoping TJ would hit Colbert in the face with the egg. God that would have been so good!

[@bobbybobob2648]

TJ Miller is one of the funniest and smartest human beings on the planet. Anyone who thinks he's a tool needs to lighten up and realize that this is a performance. I highly recommend checking out his stand up, there are few better than him going today.

[@ObsidianHamr]

LMFAO the clip he chose to send to Colbert for his appearance was himself winning an award. This guy is a 9th dimensional hyperchess master level troll

[@FrankusCrankus]

I think he's pulling an Eric Andre...

[@charliesworld6659]

Supposedly TJ also sabotaged his own SNL audition, too

[@BruceWayneofCamelot]

This guy is one of those unknown voice actor/actor/comedian that's in everything you've ever seen.

[@tiowey]

He was on the show twice after this, one of which was just a few months later, wow

[@tibetsfinest]

This guy takes being a spazz to a new level

[@lionhartw]

This is like the PG version of that scene in Joker

[@StrifeLeeSimpson]

How do you not plug Deadpool in the introduction.

[@TheFragrantBunch]

Isn't he the guy from the Smirnoff commercials?

[@isfanyartheaccursed1617]

TJ! Love that over the top absurdity keep pushing it!

[@muazqamar]

You know why he did that? Because his wife likes Stephen more than him as a comedian. He wanted to do something to embarrass/angry Stephen (maybe humiliate). I'm pretty sure he knew he wouldn't be invited again by doing something like that

[@Dazen101]

People saying he won't be invited back is ridiculous. TJ Miller has plenty of interviews where he does exactly this. He and Eric Andre (Who I really hope gets to do one of these), both do chaotic interviews

[@8Jud3]

This is who TJM is. I love it!

[@TheRevolucas]

nothing more strange then what Chris Elliot used to do on David Letterman long ago.

[@TheComfyGeek]

Next time get Ryan Reynolds...

[@Cooley360]

That golden Gorburger yell at 2:58.

[@XinBiDe]

This strikes me as being funnier than it seems to be when you re-examine it. The fact that he just got away with smashing egg on his face and caressing the host with skeleton hands for no reason is the sort of shit Kaufman would do.

[@jungleboogie78]

The skeleton hands made me lol

[@cupofkoa]

2:47 I literally fell off my chair

[@Evelina_412]

,,Oh wow.... That's how I look? That's too bad" Me every morning tbh

[@nicandromartinezsotelo3300]

Colbert was genuinly pissed there

[@SheekChick6901]

Omfg I laughed and laughed and laughed!!!!!!!!! That was so great!!!

[@luvpatel7442]

I used to think this interview was uncomfortable and awkward, but after watching Silicon Valley this is probably the most hilarious interview.

[@candyplaysrs9966]

Did he really cut his interview/skit short by skipping to his last skit?

[@Ninjujitsu]

Not getting a laugh was the funniest thing I've ever seen.

[@peach12294]

Can someone kindly explain to me what the whole skeleton hands thing was all about?

[@TreyMohr]

Haha Colbert was NOT into this. TJ is awesome regardless

[@juliee.p.7074]

TJ said "Look at this punem." That's Yiddish! It means "look at this face." How cool!

[@vhcmwashere]

I got to meet him at the restaurant I work at in hollywood. Pretty cool experience.

[@AlonzoJamie]

I can see what Anthony Jeselnik meant when he jokingly told T.J. that he has nothing because he has burned every bridge in this business. Anyways I loved T.J. when I saw him live in Oddballfest.

[@nikolaaskaas]

Love to see that TJ is so similar to his role in Silicon Valley, often I don't like the actors in real life.

[@argeshagan7407]

TJ did all of this to make his wife angry. look honey, look what i did to your favourite comedian..LMAO

[@snowdjagha]

Love this dude!

[@Jack655321]

If he would lose the physical comedy he'd actually be pretty funny.

[@Mortablunt]

If he'd shut the fuck up and stop constantly plugging himself, he'd be tolerable.

[@Mortablunt]

You go get laid.

[@juliusboers2531]

Best awkward scene since the time Will Ferrell went on Russel Brands show. : )

[@treetrain]

That's a given with T.J. if anyone hasn't. check out T.J. Miller's Edison stand up act. just type in tj miller edison. funniest 10 minutes!! I've watched it 5 times, still hilarious!

[@victordub]

i gambled with this guy in vegas, played craps with him, i was the only person that knewwho he was at the table but didnt say anything. i was on a hot roll and won him a lot of money he ended up doubling my bet and won me some money too, awesome dude.
