T.J. Miller Reveals Why He Left Silicon Valley

[@user-sm3vh3wo7v]

Miller leaving a great, emmy-nominated show for a movie about emojis is the most Erlich Bachman move ever.

[@JenkinsOwen]

I mean it was good without him too, but something was missing, and he was 100% right in what he said in other places when leaving the show, which is that it did use the "we solved a problem and that caused a bigger problem" formula over and over again, and never really stopped using it. He just overestimated how bad of a weakness it was for the show.

[@pranavgurudutt7619]

True that. They tried really hard to fill that void by increasing the banter between Dinesh and Gilfoyle and showing us a different side of Jared but it just didn't work out to fill Erlich's void.

[@tqatkins]

The show was fine without him.

[@serjiomedina3474]

Nahhh they needed a loud obnoxious guy on that show

[@ccrimewave]

@Tyler I feel like they should have utilized Russ Hannaman more with Erlich gone. They needed someone to be inept and create issues in the company, and without Erlich being there to do it, Richard ended up assuming the role. He would always make smaller mistakes, but nothing compared to the mistakes he was making every single episode of season 5. TJ Miller definitely fulfilled a role in that show. I don’t know how they could implement Russ into the show as the one making mistakes, but maybe they could have changed the dynamic where Pied Pipers flaws were coming from the arrogance of the V.C. And not from within the company itself. Something similar to when Laurie fired Richard as CEO and appointed Jack Barker in his place

[@faiqarif5765]

Honestly, Elrich provided an amazing balance to the show between sheer nerdiness and aloof humor even a non-programmer person can relate to

[@hilium3000]

My husband recommended me to watch 'Silicon valley', and I started watching it in the lockdown. He was rewatching with me. I was just binge watching and did not google anything, cause I did not want to get any spoiler. From the beginning of season 5, every episode I waited for Erlich to comeback, until the very last episode. I kept asking my husband "When is Erlich coming back?". Every time he replied with a grin "just keep watching". So I was pretty sure that he would come back, at least for the final episode, just like Michael Scott in the office. But the never did. So it was such a gut punch for me when the show ended. I was sad for two reasons, ending of a favorite show, and not getting a closer.

Yeah, the Office is legandary and Michael Scott legendarier, but it's kinda good parallel, it was shitty back then, it is shitty now...

[@cuccamunga]

Except Carrell left after 7 seasons when the show was a little passed its prime (a decline that wasn't as bad as season 8 or 9 but still). T.J. Miller is leaving Silicon Valley when the show still is on the up and up. It's a terribly dumb career move. My bet is he's burned some bridges on set due to how eccentric and unpredictable he could be and now has no choice but to leave. What a shame.

[@samroberts9287]

ehhhhhhh....

[@MMCLLC7]

Enrico D. Don't forget about when Lacey Chabert left Family Guy

[@_LilRascal_]

They should have let Bachmanity succeed, then have Erlich and Big Head be the VC for Pied Piper. I love Silicon Valley for its humour, but it's frustrating how it doesn't progress

[@neontime8507]

Lil Rascal I agree. It's like at every season they're at the same position

[@neontime8507]

visiblywindy life always breeds conflict and the comedy of the show always strictly came from the characters themselves so saying their success would limit comedic opportunities is a bad excuse

[@saeedvazirian]

Not that the series is entirely realistic, but making Bachmanity succeed has to be the most retarded and unrealistic event if they put it on the show. Someone as stupid and smug as Bachmann could not possibly make a business plan come to fruition. That's the point of his character.

[@harryelliott4363]

NeonTime life does breed conflict. However the main point to Richard is that nothing works for him and his constant struggle. It adds lots of comedic effect from stress etc. That's why stuff doesn't seen to progress.

@growlingbehemoth Not a fact. He got fired off SV for the same reason he lost his role in the Deadpool franchise: Producers, directors and actors got tired of dealing with him.

[@DigitalJesuit]

@growlingbehemoth I don't know him. I only know what I've been told from people who have worked on productions on which Mr. Miller worked. I've been told that he's a bit of a diva and that he bullies the people around him. I've been told that he has problem with alcohol and other substances that make it difficult to work with him. I have no idea if any of that is actually true, but recent events (him getting fired from SV, Deadpool, How to train your Dragon, being arrested for making a bomb threat while intoxicated) seen to support the rumors.

[@JM-jc1vz]

Word, T.J. gives an open honest response about wanting to spend time with his family, but 5 year old Jimmy Kimmel doesn't get what he wants.

[@dougfisher9525]

Its cause he was kicked off the show for being drunk and abusive.

[@OMCbuilt]

Clearly he didn't leave the show because it was 'convenient' and 'funny' Every time he talks about it about it you can see it on his face, and hear it in his voice - He got pushed out of the show.

[@P3rformula]

allegedly, he was lecturing the show staff and other cast members too much about politics and they got tired of it

[@evolve101]

+in the honey honey Any evidence to back up that statement?

[@captainthrall]

TJ wanted more money, and he was constantly having "differences in viewpoints" with the writers & producers. Unfortunately for him, as someone pointed out he was "like the 4th best character on the show," which couldn't have helped his negotiations. TJ thought he was going to transcend SilVal by becoming a huge blockbuster movie star. Instead he got buried by the abysmal Emoji Movie.

[@anthonymonzingo5781]

New reports show he was also showing up to the set intoxicated and sleeping on the clock. He was pretty much erlich on both sides of the camera ... which would be exhausting. And no one who read the script of the emoji movie would quit their day job lol

[@captainthrall]

that's actually kinda awesome

[@jacksonwrightmusic6805]

This show did so well coping with the loss of multiple characters. I think that's part of the reason it's one of the best comedy shows ever. The passing away of Christopher Welch (Peter Gregory) was sad-I looked forward to his character development-but Suzanne Cryer (Laurie Bream) made a worthy and equally eccentric character. Jimmy O. Yang (Jian-Yang) effectively "replacing" Miller made for a hilarious arc, and I wasn't even disappointed with the finale when Miller didn't show. Just like the series as a whole, and life in general, the joke just keeps going, and there's not really a tidy resolution. Excellent show.

[@douglasaraujo9763]

This!

[@bigbuffguy9589]

Welch dying is sad, but I honestly think Laurie was a better character than Peter would have been. I don't think Jian Yang really was an effective replacement for Erlich, though. Jian Yang is my least favorite character in the entire series. He was okay when he was screwing up by smoking after an anti-smoker pitch or pitching eight recipes about octopus but not as a larger character.

[@santiagocosta2755]

[@bobbybobob2648]

He's got 6 upcoming movies currently in production... I think he'll be alright. Silicon Valley is one of my favourite shows ever, but it's beginning to grow a bit stale. I think he probably left at the right time, just like when Steve Carell left The Office.

[@bobbybobob2648]

What are you talking about. Steve Carell's starred in tons of movies since leaving The Office, he was nominated for an Academy Award for best actor, and nominated in back to back years at the Golden Globes for Best Actor. He is far from a "faceless voice actor", he's got a thriving movie career. TV Shows don't last forever, they get stale after awhile. Leaving Silicon Valley now or in two years from now when its done won't make much of a difference for TJ's career when its all said and done. Actors are real people, if he wants to spend more time with his wife and focus on his movie/stand up career, then so be it.

[@kohZeei]

He didn't get fired. They wanted to bump him down from a main character to guest/recurring like Bighead. Makes sense he didn't wanted to spend four months with his wife, and not in a small role.

[@jaibatra721]

Honestly I love TJ's character because there are people like that in real life but with him gone, I would still love the show as much as I do with him. The show is trying to portray the story of these 4 people who are struggling in the world of entrepreneurship and big companies. Now that TJ is gone, I feel something dynamic must take place in the show. The Season 5 trailer looks equally enticing. Can't wait to see the episodes.

[@Retroboxmedia]

He wants to "spend more time with his wife" but do 7-10 stand-up shows a night in New York. Hmmm. Instead of spinning the truth, it would be far easier to just state that Mike Judge let him go because, for whatever reasons, he wasn't carrying his (professional) weight on the set and they'd had enough.

Both shows started slow, the best part was all the seasons in between, one major character left the show and left the last season kind of boring and bland. Both last episodes were very heartwarming but I wish Erlich had came back like how Michael Scott did. The shows could have ended with a stronger last season but the last episodes kind of made up for them. I think fans of both of these shows can relate, both are great tho 👍 ♥️

[@Crowstudio]

He left Silicon Valley, just like many are leaving “Silicon Valley”

[@rohitbankar1063]

I was waiting till the last episode i had hope that he'll come back from china .😭 He was the one of the reason that people liked silicon valley

[@kushagrachaturvedy2821]

Erlich Bachman plays TJ Miller extremely well

[@GodsMemeTV]

if the human EGO had 2 arms and 2 legs it would act like this guy

[@dkgong]

The producers probably found out about the sexual assault allegations and fired him.

[@troyp9485]

dkgong that’s entirely possible

[@NitishakaSwiftz]

he'll rise again, if that's what he truly wants, him as a person, you can just see he has it in him, wish you nothing, but the best TJ! MADLOVE from JERSEY

[@A_Goat]

Hard to think how he can just be out of the show. I know he is stuck in another country using opium and such yet hard to think the other guys would just accept that he disappeared looking for Gavin Belson. Even if they are distracted with Pied Piper, no one would just accept a friend disappeared. Looking forward to seeing how they lay this out.

[@IanArizpeArroyo]

turns out they did just accept it

[@anesu846]

Was ridiculously glossed over

[@A_Goat]

@@anesu846 I know right... wtf

Erlich is my favourite Character out of all of them, 2nd being Jing Jang, Then Jarred, I loved the way he expressed himself, this is a sad loss, The show won't be the same without Jing & Erlich praising their app of the year - 10/10 *Not HotDog*

[@TacomanDezzy]

“What if I told you there’s an app on the market…”

[@JediWebSurf]

The truth was later on revealed. They basically didn't want him on the show anymore because he became difficult to work with. They said he would show up late to work and would also sleep on the job and stuff. But the real reason behind his behavior was because he was overworked and tired due to other projects he was working on, so he just had a lot on his plate at the time. So he agreed to leave the show behind and left. The creators felt like they could do the show without his character and that it wasn't essential. But honestly, I really liked his character and thought he was funny.

[@renelopez5282]

He was my favorite character on Silicon Valley

[@mellownessuperstar2618]

The stuff TJ does is all about his voice... Should have stayed on a very well written show and made them create MORE episodes!

[@mayurchavhan8590]

His expressions are like just telling Jimmy that shut TF about Silicon Valley and just let me promote Emoji movie...

[@TheLastLoad]

His character on SV just became more irrelevant as the show went on. I want more Gavin Belson, the most recent season was my favorite,

[@m90026]

I love you in “How to train your dragon” I binge watch those episodes.

[@vomalites3439]

Very true to his character this guy radiates confidence.

[@albertnoble2727]

I was expecting him to come back from tibet with a huge change in his character, purified.

[@eyeCU13]

Just hope they keep Russ Hanneman. Dude rules!

[@thebengal9699]

You can just tell whenever Jimmy mentions him quitting the show how upset TJ looks- he gets visibly uncomfortable. He was fired :(

[@dlogic6781]

Give your notice, or we will fire you. Something tells me he was ahead of these allegations before it became news.

[@beekingdomglass2718]

Yea it made this interview awkward as balls to watch.

[@thebengal9699]

yeah it did

[@katiefincher2433]

His ass got fired, he didn't quit. And Kimmel knew it.

[@DjTomcat14]

Love How Jimmy Tried Real Hard To Talk Him Out Of It & Realize It's a Mistake lol. Cuz I As Well Love his Character in the Show. He Made It 10 Times Funnier

Happy birthday T.J. Miller. Love u dude. UR awesome dude. May the Peace be with u. From Harlingen Texas. June 4, 1981 June 4, 2020 through June 4, 3020

[@robj2027]

I agree with T.J. that the show has to grow. The last season was very underwhelming, and the series is starting to get stale because it's the same characters doing basically the same thing every season. They have to add a couple new characters, with or without Bachman.

[@SubhojitDey]

he left silicon valley and gave emoji movie as one of the excuse lol

[@nhoss5278]

Dumbest carrier decision.

[@vicmartone]

N hoss so he left silicon valley AND changed to Verizon???

[@captainthrall]

it wasn't his decision. He got fired.

[@mrgoodnews7702]

aircraft carrier?

[@yattasuccess9212]

@Michael Baker Maybe He legitimately meant it to be Carrier, AT&T sucked and Pied Piper was going downhill.

[@StrawberryAndMorganSisters]

I thought his voice sounded familiar from a movie I once saw

[@MohamedSalah-xe7ks]

Did he say the "Large" apple in the end ? lol

[@JosiahM1970]

he also said city that rarely sleeps, which is Seattle...*whoosh* is appropriate for you and your 3 friends...
