used to talk about. i'm going to paint a clear picture about how disturbing. corporate conduct is. these are stories. i might have posed to the american. west. on larry king now it's t.j. what's with the glass just sort of an homage to you but i'll take them off as soon as you assume one of your hard hitting questions t.j. stand. just you're leaving silicon valley was. because. it was the right time you're too big for it i know and let's be honest there's no way that the show isn't going to change and become better you didn't get the choice to be brought into this life but every man every woman has the choice of when to exit and i think that should be seen as noble and we should be able to talk about it so i try and make that funny good luck to make the funny you can't good person

special also plus i have a particular perspective on human being and whereas you are a human now what do you relate more to your guest than i do and. i relate to you because of his abilities in the dance and department all next on larry king. welcome to larry king now our guest today is critics' choice award winning actor and comedian t.j. miller he stars as air like bachman on the h.b.o. comedy silicon valley he has an upcoming comedy special also on h.b.o. called t j miller meticulously ridiculous he hosts the globe are going to show on comedy central and can be heard in the upcoming him o.-g. movie in which he plays the starring role of the met m o g i have no idea what that means. i'm not sure i can add the fourth something of value of silicon valley will

air june twenty fifth and meticulously ridiculous airs june seventeenth both on h.b.o. and the m o g movie is in theaters july twenty eighth and later will be joined by special guests later but more on that to come so t.j. what's with the glasses larry i try and dress up and be as foremost possible when you allow me to graze here and i'm sort of an homage to you and i've and i have you know one of the things i think les is as an almost to me absolutely but i'll take them off as soon as you guys do one of your hard hitting question what is t.j. stand for. joseph i changed it in the first grade because there was another todd in the classroom and i didn't understand the two people could have the same name meticulously ridiculous as your first h.b.o. special what happens on it what do we see i mean is it you doing stand up yeah absolutely and it's you know it is

a mix of traditional stand ups the stories and observations and wordplay. and then it's just absolute nonsense that's just absolutely absurd isn't it a contradiction in term to be meticulously ridiculous i think so i mean actually no one's ever brought that up i mostly did the name of that because it is a description of my stand up and what i do and also it's very hard to say so that it was funny and people want to talk about it it's kind of a tongue twister but you're right it is someone who is ridiculous wouldn't need to or be even meticulous and yet i am both of those things a contradiction in terms that's what my wife kate calls me going back to first grade do you think you're weird. yeah i think everybody kind of feels yeah but you know you're with the bow tie in the thing. the way you look the whole look the beard the look you're it thank you sir we have. now show

a clip from t.j. mila meticulously ridiculous ironically the most american product on the market seems strange it's imported water from france in an aerosol bottle is there anything more american or now i mean people are dying in other parts of the world because they can't get a clammy source of drinking water in the united states sometimes i like it on the outside i am sure when i'm thirsty or porridge i'll put it inside but other times it's like safari jungle there. very good. for no reason was that record it was in denver i'm kind of a big proponent of the mile high city and so i thought it was really important to my first special on comedy central was in boulder and i'm from denver proper i'm from downtown and so i did the paramount theater this is storage theater that i had always kind of dream you know i saw comedians play i always dreamed of playing as

a comedian but didn't really think that was within reach so i just enjoyed going and seeing shows it's very it's sturrock and so you know when h.b.o. came to me i went to the paramount and said this is always been something i you know i grew up here and what was great too is it's an audience that is very much like me people from denver have very similar sensibilities progressive ideals and also you know smoke marijuana and think that that's a legal art of the day absolutely and it's a rocky games you know exactly when i and so the audience was so supportive that really it was great i felt like it was a solid a minus is it true that you had gold death in this special yeah i mean i think i talk about the idea of being pro suicide if it's not about loneliness or if it's about a decision to sort of exit life i talk about. you know death and really exit yeah i mean you didn't get the. choice to be brought into this life but every man every

woman has the choice when to access it and i think that should be seen as noble and we should be able to talk about it so i try to make that funny good luck to make that funny and you can't but if there's good parts of the special laws then the idea of serve releasing the death things id and kind of shaping the way that you see death in a post religious post meanings of society to talk about how time is the closest thing we have to a deity right now you the funny kid in high school. the only reason i got elected the president of the school you elected president my speech yes with no previous political school government campaign it was i did have a campaign slogan my my banner they use was me with my school id number in a mug shot pose on either side and they loved it and they just loved it and they thought well let's have this guy do the morning announcements and then i got banned from doing the morning announcements for six months for making too many non-sense

announcements in between the real ones you go to class clown do you get asked do you want to know one class and best sense of humor biggest party animal and most school spirit i'm proudest of the last one you're a leaving silicon valley why because. it was the right time you're too big for it right now no it's an organic i'm so happy that i was on the show h.b.o. and i kind of decided this was the time that the character could leave we've written and in a place where there was an organic departure and i am really really i'm grateful to have worked with mike judge and those guys i do think are the best in the game i mean those those other guys on that show there are no funnier working in joe has a saying age feel came to you and said let's figure out that or you came to him and let's figure out like i think i think it was one of those times where both of us sort of came why would they wish me to leave and let's be honest there's no way that the show isn't going to change and become better i mean it's my judge it's

clay tar it's those guys h.b.o. statement have you heard it yeah. well lou says the other the producers of silicon valley and t.j. mila have mutually agreed that t.j. will not return for season five. i feel like that show is the best show on television or why you leave it is that it is that time you know i think also my wife kane is always quoted david bowie's saying that somebody is that their best creatively when their toes are there in the water on their toes or barely touching the bottom and i think that's a really cute quote and i love when kate says that. she sort of is more to good to me so she says it better but that you know it is good to be in an instant unstable and unsafe place or so who are you you are a voiceover in the moji movie yeah and the messed. them up mode yeah like the thing from the yeah i mean hollywood is at

a point where we make movies about things in it and i'll tell you what you now it was that a remake goes busters but all of us were androgynous and i decided i didn't want to shave my head even though i think kristen stewart looks great tilda swinton looks great so i want to i wanted to do an original property in the animation space because that's that's one of the things i don't just do r. rated comedy i can't make children laugh doing so can value i can't do as much stand up as i'd like to being on one show or devoting all my time and here i have something like core burger which is strange and to use but people love it let me put more time into that and prettiest more of that except the fact that you weird. you do you accept the fact that you're a strange. well and there we go we did live prime to n. television i think you an actor who's funny or a funny man who acts funny man or acts

a comedian who acting is one of the mediums that i do because like you i like broadcast i like doing i like doing radio when i when i travel is a stand up comedian i enjoy doing press because i'm a comedian and ever i can make people laugh i'm happy to i mean that's you know that's what better thing can i do than make people laugh and i have to be in the m o g movie as well as in deadpool as well as an transformers four and then also doing things like your burger and cashing in with t.n.t. or also in ready player one yeah. what is that about it is based on a book that you should read you'll read it in an hour my wife read it in four hours and it took me three days but it's the quickest read it's about the future in the twenty forties when the world is completely overpopulated and we've kind of gone to the armageddon that we may possibly be heading to right now in this very moment there is a virtual reality world called the

a ways and most human beings spend their time in the ways it's because you can have a job they're the sort of a bit coin system so most humans are in this virtual reality game of comedy and it's hysterical but it is no it is it is funny and i am the comedy in it obviously i play this bounty hunter in the game who seeks out people and kills them or captures them much like boba fett from star wars but i'm sort of a more a mildly amusing unfunny boba fett if you enjoy seeing it finished and i haven't seen it finished won't come out until twenty team because they've developed a new technology the film will look like you are in a video game for most of the movie and it will be three d. but also on the two d. level it will be completely different but that's when steven spielberg is the child . like wonderful genius who wants to make up new ways to tell stories that's all he wants to do and he'll start off the day sometimes going alright we're making movies

or reliving our childhood let's do it and the entire crew always feels buoyant because spielberg's energy is this his directing style as he never says you've done anything wrong he just says a little more color to the voice not ok let's try out right now pace it up he always won things to be faster and he waits and waits and then when you get it right he goes that one with that was great print out one let's see that circle down and make sure to circle and that was great and we do another just like that and then we can do one for you but we got it you always feel like you haven't well i haven't done anything wrong and i guess i can try anything because everything so it really it's clear from the moment that you start working with him and i've known him before this but it's clear from the first shot that you can do no wrong and this is why he is the greatest director is that sort of top fan encounters secret talents and trauma with t.j. and the love plus we'll be joined by a special guest will be right back. on

larry king you were watching our american questionable war. all the world's a stage and all the news companies merely players but what kind of parties are into the american play. offs more american personnel. many ways landscape just like the real news good actors. and in the end you could never. sum up parking. all the world's

all the world's a stage we are definitely a player. with t.j. miller don't forget silicon valley is june twenty fifth that says wind up meticulously ridiculous airs june seventeenth that's his stand up. in theaters july twenty eighth that's his voice over ok what do you think of president trump. what. ever again i know what that i could not ever have to think about you know trump is always shakespearean. yeah and why this constant assault that we all masochistically see and notifications on our phones and our

computers one of him over and over making mistakes making irrational decisions being arrogant. i mean truly sociopath thinking in every single move that he makes i can't imagine i never could have imagined seeing the american democratic experiment as people have been saying sort of burn like the roman empire under a man who is no better than nero it is really hard to watch better than nero i mean is really hard to watch he does not care about this thing that he is sort of as a huckster caught on his way into a job that he didn't even really once because he himself has a terrible opinion of the insecurity in this man it is it is harrowing to watch what is happening right now and not be able to do more than contribute financially and with time to progressive organization a goal well he'll fire somebody who are already you know this is just we've

revealed to the world how incompetent our government can be instead of what a super power and in a country that leads with an ideology that the rest of the world should look to now where this kind of sham of an oligarch e where he's firing people that are going to investigate him and openly saying like well that's not real and he's going to keep finding stuff and he lies and you can put video next to each other where he says one thing in the next we're living in an insane lately we're living in a post real reality because news is fake or they say that it is a reality television star. is the president of united states it's horrible and confusing and i think i sort of feel like we need to do everything we can to get him out of there before he does something really damage other than that you have no plan and no comment is right now what i just said. a little game of if you only knew i just throw some questions i see jake who is your childhood celebrity crush

steve martin because he can make my mother laugh trying to figure that out you add a whole psychiatry. and i said end of all not oedipal secret talent i'm a juggler now many people know that person you trade places with for a day right now and to be honest with you you. really truly look at the pictures of your life i would love to have just one dan what's the weirdest job you've ever had now we're just but when i worked at mcdonald's i learned quite a bit in my short stint there what did you do make french fries and i tried to work the register but it was so hard and people get so angry if the food isn't fast and you didn't get my order and i asked for no pickles that they slowly pushed me right over the fries it's true that the prize is for those who cannot do the job do you have a guilty pleasure. well pornography i mean every time i'm just kidding i think i

think my guilty pleasure is. i would say watching a movie when i know that i should be doing something else i know i should be working i'd rather i rather watch sam rockwell and the great you know and watching the heat over and over again the dinero but you know michael meehan from the scene in the lunch and dining room yes is there an impression you can do. is there and is there a new russian that you've got to do what you do impressions. you know do you do your and you do impressions. the next question is what never fails to make you laugh. i mean you haven't failed to make me laugh especially when you're on gerber's i'd say i'd say larry king yeah come up twice in the census i now will you do enjoy hearing about yourself what. what superpower would you like to have. humility. i think everyone will be willing to make everyone laugh to do that you

would have to be on every platform every medium it's difficult to be on the present unless you are a time. what's the best piece of advice you ever got. listen actually i didn't get it you gave that piece of advice to gore berger i thought that was a really just listen if you're interviewing someone listen i have a tough time with that my motto is i never learned anything when i was talking what's the best perk of being a celebrity there aren't many i mean it's it's an absolute intrusion on your life from every level and i make a living off of seeming to be your best friend that's what i do on screen. well when in fact people approach me much more than they approach other people because i'm already their friend and so they're coming over and they're drunk on their neurons and they want to take a picture it's various strangers phantom kotor. i had non strangers but the most raw was i had

a guy in kansas very drunk during the day come over and asked me to take a picture and i said yeah i will but just let me finish ordering my drink because this is a busy bar and he just suddenly said you mean i do you know but i know who you work you know you think you're i might my girlfriend say you're famous i know who is that i koreans you know man nobody knows who you are you man you know and i felt very very much like this could become a physical altercation and that was when i realized that now my life had changed and wasn't going to ever change back it was just going to be a version of a life where that could happen and that was that was pretty raw and then jus say i just kind of tried to navigate using humor like i have since i was a kid my way out of having a fistfight with this guy because he was being so inappropriate and absolutely

intrusive and that's not ok and you have to draw down here with those people but before doing that with your hands you know i try and joke my way out of it that's what i do with everything tell me something people don't know about you. but i'm a pretty open book i think that i secretly. i secretly wonder. if. my wife kate was ever going to marry me and i thought maybe she was too good for me she was out of my league a film that i was in and is very very solid do you have children i don't have children my how to in the next year or two excited about that you have children you recommend it its greatest thing in a world that's why they lose the bet you'll be a great father i think and a great mother to her to be joined by a special guest in our final segment you don't want to miss this it's going to be a lot better than the previous ones say good bye to him we'll be right back citing

out there came our special guest in this final segment t.j. has left us. yes god that's really going ok i got one that you are very hard goldberger is that giant blue monster who took over a japanese television station correct he began on funny or die for two seasons comedy central picked him up yes for eight episodes in the first season. you are now a star yes how does that make you feel. that i love that in my own joe do you like having your own joke all is yes and you know if you are the star of the show right you can call it the brotherhood as you know just like you called it larry king now now why now why not larry king then who do you miss you pam well. yes i did i won't say that the people taste better but they're better for you like

this for humans. when did you decide to become a host well it was study that i always wanted to do and i was sent here on a particular well i'd say i have an endeavor well i got the best way to learn about human beings was to well host a show and ask them about it i mean is that sort of what you do larry yes i'm not you're an alien yes but that's i have a particular perspective on human beings being an alien whereas you are a human so you relate more to your guests than i do and that since i share who i relate to because of his abilities in the dance and department you know what i'm talking about. what planet are you from sutanto which means i will not tell you those everybody i knew a planet looked like you yes but when you if i look at you and your another one of

my species you would look like whatever my eyes are able to see and where i'm from everybody to my eyes looks sort of like you but someone else might see me as looking more like christina getting better. i look at it though you very cited because i'm japanese male or female well it doesn't really work like that it's beginning to be humans are beginning to be more gender fluid and open to sort of out of that nonsense i don't know what you know you have no gender tobel. but i say i'm what you would call sort of a male that has female genitalia but that is rosie my genitalia is roving so it's in different parts of my body at all times did you notice my eyes this vendors. you know well you know let me stand up here let me tell you look at i married is there a. law. or small

chairs tell me about as you look at our planet what's the future of. that sort of what the show's about larry i mean my show i sort of you know that i'm wondering what people think he's going to happen i'm interested in whether or not humans are going to be able to understand their condition and better it or just worsen it so what they'll do with the planet but it's confusing times i suppose especially in japan where there is a giant godzilla like monster lurking in the depths of the sea and they do not have the technology to stop and or don't know what it is or that it's there i do know him. well that's i mean we let me put it this way i called him god. brought a first name basis i don't i know him but i don't know him does that make sense

larry do you feel like you really know any of your gas and do you feel like you know them at the end of the interview you saw a no no them where you meet. oh i get where you you feel like you know them yeah but you don't really nobody knows what's inside i don't know right now you could be thinking larry king is a jerk that drug. well i see so i guess you really think you know so you know what i'm they get i don't know what you're thinking so when i interview people i know what they're saying yes i try to draw them out and you do but i don't know what they're thinking why don't you go back to your planet because i'm here to work just like you do you think larry that do you get what you do is positive for humanity yes you do yes tell us all why because people learn more they watch the show except for this particular segment of course people about life when they

watch me yes they know more at the end of the show than they they did before the show began yeah i think that's true and also people want to know what it's like to be other people that's why humans like art and movies so much fear is a medium where you inhabit another person's life for a while and you get to give people a slice of life are you the only person from your planet on earth. well yes and i got to tell you that's pretty sometimes that's pretty lonely you must be lonely there yes i mean what do you do for companionship i've been slaves half of a japanese television show and the inventor on the show he's my best friend. i think you're jewish what i think you're jewish don't throw around insults at me larry king. what you're out we're out of time right we're out of time well larry

would you ever consider doing my my show again with you if you're not because you know where i come from dads it's an insult to call somebody religious because to believe in something greater than yourself is to limit your own potential larry king. thank you i will return to your show yes. and i promise not to have blood lust because larry sometimes you're pushing on me with the camera sometimes i have i want to thank i want to hold a globe and they want to thank my early against the end in the bible t.j. mila. t.j. . t.j. millet meticulously ridiculous airs june seventeenth and the season four finale of silicon valley is june twenty fifth both on h.b.o. and my show and this will go but i'll be back on goldberger the ice and as always you can find me on twitter at kings things and i'll see you next time say good bye and watch the garbage oh my god is that drug that guy that you can download it on i

do it. again no wonder you are getting on mine or ok now you're on my last nerve i'll leave all right. your pardon my space. look. all the feeling of news coming from everywhere in the world should experience freedom and you'll get it on the old the role of. the old according to just. welcome our moral come along for the ride.

to go to the people tell their side of the story our stories are well sourced we don't hide anything from the public and i don't think the mainstream media as a country can say. the average. american has a different perspective so that we're not hearing one echo chamber that in stream media is constantly spewing. we're not beholden to any corporate sponsor no one tells us what to cover how long the coverage for how to say that's the beauty of our tea america. we give both sides we hear from both sides and we question more

that journalists are not putting anything get in your way to bring it home to the american people. oh i'm tom hartman at washington d.c. and here's what's coming up tonight on the big picture with neil gorsuch on the supreme court and some more liberal justices looking to retire is america on the verge of sliding into theocracy alas the reverend barry lynn in just a moment and the trumpet.
