TJ Miller Reads A Negative Review Of His New Stand-up Special

[@hcjr103]

Let's take time to acknowledge that TJ Miller used his on air interview time to talk shit on a reviewer who believed word for word every single thing TJ Miller said in a stand up special... Amazing.

[@yashiAR]

I really love that Stephen lets the guest do their thing and just goes with it every time, which always brings out the humour. Also i truly admire the quality in people, esp comedians who whole -heartedly accept the criticism and then deconstruct the criticism, making it hilarious rather than in any way humiliating.

[@krombopulos_michael]

yashiWinchester yeah but I also think it was a little too personal calling him out by name like that. Whoever the guy in Souix City was is a small fry compared to TJ Miller.

[@ian9outof10]

If he had called me a fool for a review on national TV I'd be thrilled.

[@360.Tapestry]

colbert comes from an improv comedy background

[@jacksongondo6166]

You'll retract this when you watch his recent interview with Bill Burr.

[@firstgan114]

"Bruce, you fool."

[@petiewheat82]

TJ is wrong, you could spend $73,000

[@FeralWorker]

Thinkb4utype Bruce?

[@jonnyd8399]

lol

[@petiewheat82]

I'm just saying, haven't you seen that news story where the guy spent over $2,000 in one day trying to win a giant stuffed jamaican banana? spend 40 days out of 365 doing that and it adds up.

[@jonnyd8399]

No and thank you for giving me the next thing to look up. hahaha $2000 for a Banana. People got problems.

[@GAGFEST2000]

the reactions Stephen Colbert has to TJ on these interviews are amazing. It's Stephen is viewing a persona from another plane of existence, he's intrigued yet terrified.

[@TheStraatjutter]

to be fair , the catholic in him has that reaction to a lot of things

[@RajSingh-qc6lq]

I know right, the facial expressions, no matter how minute, are HILARIOUS.Watch around 6:21, you can see the moment when he tries to suppress his genuine laughter. Freaking love TJ

[@FlingGibstopper]

It's cool because they both have very contrasting styles of comedy. TJ miller is very slapstick and absurdist, while stephen is smooth and witty with his jokes. I think they play off eachother well.

[@Matty80822]

i didn't know tj was this intelligent lol, he actually feels on par with colberts character. although half his character died with the colbert show :(

[@icecreamalacarte]

That first interview with TJ was .. rough

[@v.e2035]

No one seems to remember that T.J miller had a peice of his frontal lobe removed after an embolism in 2010. He is truly a genius at this point.

[@Verg_16]

I live in Sioux City...Bruce Miller hates movies...He does love himself

[@TheUrbanEpicure]

What's life like in Sioux City?

[@SweetAngel8642]

He has thus gleam right next to his nose, and it just looks like a single tear floating down his cheek

[@Ctrl_Alt_Elite]

SweetAngel8642 he is sad pepé, sad pepé is him.

[@luciasofia8890]

THANK YOU! I thought maybe it was sweat but its only in that spot. I think it couuuuld have been a nod to when Kaufman came out on a talk show with Vaseline under his nose to make it look like his nose was running

[@anthonygustina8811]

YES!!! Im glad I wasn't the only one who noticed. I was reading the comments before I said something about it. it slowly gets more moist and shiny as the interview goes on. You know a comic is good when even his sweat makes you laugh. Cheers Erlich Bachman!!!

[@mistershakey]

that's called sweat. it's sweat.

[@belib5911]

If he leaves Silicon Valley, who's going to yell "Jian Yang!"?

[@DCompani13]

@@erinlee5936 IKR!

[@flatpointhigh]

The people saying they're surprised Stephen brought TJ back clearly had not seen Strangers With Candy or any other show he has been in for that matter

[@dasrockness]

TJ is right about Ardie. I showed up to the Comedy Cellar late one night with a couple buddies and Ardie Fuqua was chilling at the bar with half a birthday cake. I didn't know who he was. We came that night because we heard that Louis C.K. had been popping in regularly to test out material for a new special. We sat down at the bar and started soaking the place in. Small upstairs bar with chalkboard bar tops and chalk on the ready. Ardie turned to us and said, "hey we just had a birthday party and I have some extra cake if you guys want". So we ate cake and drank beer. It was great. Immediately after that we went downstairs for the late show and Ardie opened and did crowd work. He is a funny fucking dude. My buddies and I spent a week and a half day-drinking and then walked aimlessly from dive bar to dive bar at night around NYC. Every once and a while we would run into a New Yorker that was almost disappointed we were there. I got called a tourist with a negative connotation so many times... We brushed it off and immediately started referring to anyone who said shit like that to us as "the cunts". Louis didn't show up that night but we did meet the super cool and humble Ardie Fuqua. Leave it up to a comedian to make us feel at home in NYC.

[@ЕвгенийСемёнов-в2щ]

3:30 Colbert's wit is so quick, it could run circles around Flash. Really impressive.

[@oswaldocontreras1507]

"Truly.. TRULY THE BEST IN THE GAME" lol

[@jbrowne1702]

what is witty about referring to positive nihilism as optimism? honest question.

[@bgaskin]

jbrowne1702 honest answer: not witty. "best in the game" was an ironic/sarcastic comeback from Miller.

[@itss_Leskid.Wadimeter]

I didn't realize this guy is hilarious during interviews

[@addos999]

go check him out on Hot Ones. he takes it up another notch!

[@whatisthis-uw9ok]

I didn't realize masturbating after chopping jalapeños would be a bad idea either

[@ryanortiz6594]

you fool

[@DrDespicable]

You should have seen that one coming. Let me rephrase that...

[@BlakePrescott]

You didn't realize a comedian is funny?

[@dahakaguardianofthetimelin4780]

He didn't smash an egg this time, as far as TJ goes, that's a feat

[@af-aftech6029]

Steven just gave him the floor. That is some respect right there.

[@thephilosopher4719]

When your real personality is exactly like your character in the series and movies...

[@nullunit]

He is in good form, I guess it was time to leave Silicon Valley.

[@xordid]

a lot of people probably think TJ is just really full of himself and that he's delusional to think that it's time for him to move on to chase his true passions in life, but i've heard a lot from the guy and it's all genuine. he left to work on his craft and honestly if it leads to more and higher quality stand-up material from him, who can complain? he's one of the most intelligent and unique talents in the business

[@VigneshVR]

If I'm not mistaken, HBO had to fire him because of budget cuts.

[@13Gisang]

i find it very, very hard to believe hbo/silicon valley are suffering budgetary issues. if anything, i'd believe tj requested a significant pay bump and was turned down, but that isn't necessarily synonymous with budget cuts. either way, i wish him and silicon valley the best of luck moving forward (albeit in different directions).

[@gateauxq4604]

NO MY WORLD IS CRUSHED NOOOOOOOOOOO but really it wasn't feasible to keep Erlich around forever. He's been more and more awkwardly wedged into the plot every year. Also, he does not fuck.

[@HopDances]

Nah his show Goreburger got picked up and he doesn't have time to do both.

[@BeckTech18]

The funny part is that I am originally from Sioux City and have met and have had conversations with Bruce Miller lol.

[@Thegbear]

This is the example of a PERFECT talk show segment. I hadn’t remotely thought of seeing TJ Miller’s stand up special, and now I have to.

[@4tr0phy]

You should check out his metalcore band Still Remains. He did the vocals for the first album. dude can do everything

[@NicklenDimeChicano]

Hahaha " right from the 3 point line Bruce SWISH!!!" Haha this shit had me dying!!!

[@canaan5337]

meticulously ridiculous is more than the name of his comedy special I believe it is in fact his Mantra and his motto if he has a family crest it probably says meticulously ridiculous in Latin.

[@ASMRyouVEGANyet]

Canaan if not, it needs to happen....

[@Erilis000]

I absolutely love the terrible handshake at 0:29. It's so perfectly TJ Miller

[@MikhailKalashnikovMiG]

I'm worried about season 5 of Silicon Valley without Erlich Bachman.. Here's hoping Gavin Belson returns. Silicon Valley just won't be the same without this TJ

[@Stbuster31]

Mikhail Kalashnikov he's old, fat and alown. no one needs him

[@Ethiokarate1]

I love how TJ handled that 7 minutes of live television and made me laugh lol

[@oswaldocontreras1507]

Tell Bruce Miller he's a fucking fool!!

[@Verg_16]

Kevin Strom I ate that tonight...lol

[@CAPDude44]

I'm so so sorry

[@cheyenneguliker246]

This is the best episode of the show ever. I wish they had filmed it further and put it up on the web for the rest of us to see how it actually went on in studio!

[@rachelysew]

Lol that was fun, I'm glad Colbert let him go on so long, good rein in at the end.

[@StewChicken42]

When he shouted "YEAH!"... I laughed. Loud and hard. Hahahaha, I love TJ!

[@jacquescousteauful2397]

IF he spent $73,000 on carnival games, and an average of $3 per game, that's 24,333 games. At an average of 5 minutes per game, that's exactly 2000 hours over the course of the year - about the same as a typical 40 hour workweek, given a couple of weeks of vacation per year. A strong work ethic, indeed.

[@mikekimball1580]

That handshake at 0:31 reminds us all that t.j. Miller is in fact a human just like us.

[@SuSchindlervegantrucker]

can't believe he married a woman!

[@roeytsabar]

kinda?? she is banging

[@imabeapirate]

Best interview of all time. So good

[@FlyingNimbus]

He just kept talking Steven couldn't get a word in...hahahaha

[@richardgibs701]

for those who dont want to work it out themselves at $3 a game $73,000 would be 24,333.33333' games, at 1 game a day not including February 29 th coz we like to rest 1 day every 4 years it'll take 66.6210358 years!

[@blaubaerspaj]

If you assume playing a game takes 5 minutes then it would amount to roughly 85 days of nonstop playing time ie a little under 3 months. Which I would guess is about as long it takes to shoot a season of Silicon Valley, funnily enough :D

[@robert23497]

TJ Miller is an absolute genius and as much fun to watch as anyone. Wow. Steve looks a little nervous about what TJ is saying and it feels like he cut the interview short. Don't be scared Steve. A little truth in your life would probably be good for ya.

[@JonnyDIY]

Best of Luck in NY TJ! Will miss you out in LA though.

[@slackassify]

TJ Miller is a ball of energy, hilarious, love this guy!

[@Buenomars]

Oh wow... someone actually took that joke literally...

One of the best interviews!

This went much better than TJ's last appearance on Colbert.

[@TheOhLeahChronicles]

TJ Miller: "It would be physically impossible to spend 73,000 dollars playing carnival games!" Barney Stinson: *"CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!"*

[@lucaservin6768]

I'm glad TJ was asked back; that whole bit with the egg on the head from the first time kinda pissed Colbert off a little, but I think since Colbert's a friend of Conan's-- and Conan's a huge supporter of TJ (and ya gotta promote)-- it's great to see he's on again. TJ's awesome on screen and as a comic.

[@hildaortega7740]

I want to see more of him in your show, Stephen.

[@weezenberg]

that was a brilliant interview! guys a genius... sad to see him leave silicon valley

[@andrewwatson189]

his first stand up special is very very funny. can't wait to see the new one

[@scotthall7307]

I remember when people freaked out in TJ's Colbert interview; you guys still think he won't be invited back? You don't invite someone on the show without knowing how they operate in an interview. People will quite literally set up a special set if Eric Andre is invited on certain shows to prevent him from hurting someone when he eventually goes totally insane. Interviews 'gone wrong' or where 'the host hates his guest' are super popular online and somehow it even counts as news so expect to see a lot of people copy that kind of viral marketing.

[@rkkpttrsn8794]

I did the math, that means he will have to play 3 carnival games every hour, 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

[@whateverman4945]

I think that gold chain makes a bowtie work nicely

[@entertained...]

miller is always much funnier when he's not trying so hard; this was a pretty good interview.

[@im7559]

I'd love for Stephen to interview his wife one of these days, I'm sure TJ is as zany and weird off camera as he is on camera! Bet she's got stories to tell 😂

TJ is a great comedian. His comedy central special was hilarious and some of his Laugh Factory improvs were great too.

[@joerivera6334]

I'm starting a GoFundMe so TJ can spend $73,000 on carnival games.

[@davelazenby77255]

I love TJ, almost like a young Robin Williams the way he just takes over the show and its always entertaining as hell.

[@calebclunie4001]

Reality has become absurd. "When the going turns weird, the weird turn pro"- Hunter S. Thompson. Comedians reflect reality back on itself. Having a sense of humor is being able to laugh at ourselves, and there is real healing in that act. "Don't try to bend the spoon. That's impossible. Only remember the truth..." "...There is no spoon"- "The Matrix" based on the book "The Mind's Eye".

he moved over to call his wife over. he's laughing so hard at the end because he was like , oh wait, its over? lol

i would be infinitely interested in what Stephen thought of this interview

[@MrStensnask]

I don't know why Colbert didn't just embrace Miller's rant. I'm not saying Colbert seemed angry or anything, not at all, he just didn't seem to find it particularly funny when he scoocthed back in the chair and gave the cameras off-comment. The rant was actually pretty funny. Fuck the interview questions if the audience and viewers are having fun!

[@MultiShawnt]

Carnival game addiction is not listed as a prexisting condition. Get some help! Junkies are no good for nothing.
