TJ Miller from The Gorberger Show.

TJ Miller

Yeah, I'm sorry. Before we start the interview, I always have to Okay, good. You brought your own chicken. Yeah, he's just, he's not doing well. And so I've been giving him mouth-to-mouth, you know, as often as I feel it will make people feel uncomfortable. I have a very, uh, strong nose and strong jaw line, people say. And that's a lot because I have weighted glasses when I was a kid.

Young Hollywood

But we don't get to see any of that strong jaw line in Gorburger show because, because it's, it's, it's an alien. Yeah, we don't see you, but we hear you though.

TJ Miller

I'm an executive producer on the uh, on the show. And Gorburger, it's not like he's a friend of mine, but he's a talent that I've sort of believed in for a long time. And also, we didn't have a choice that he took over the show and killed half of the Japanese staff and enslaved the rest of them to sort of have his own talk show about Iraq. Music and, uh, pop culture icons. Um, but it is an opportunity for us to do a show on Comedy Central that is sort of my oeuvre, a little bit, you know? And I know that's the weirdest thing to say, but everybody's doing, you know, master of fun, smashing with P. Combs, uh, the, the Amy Schumer show. In the weirdest way, this is the most autobiographical show ever. But uh, you know, it's for me, it's too heavy. It's too heavy. Uh, for me, uh, you know, for me, it's, it is that opportunity to do a talk show but to not have it be the TJ Miller talk show. Cuz I don't, I don't know that I want to see that. And I don't think people are. Right. I just, I just noticed, no, I, I really enjoy your manicure right now, by the way. It's a French manicure. And what is it with us? Because we just went to gun film festival in, uh, the French Riviera. And you know, Vincent Cassel was not there, but, you know, when he was smoking the spliff in between scenes, talking to me, while I was doing underwater, an underwater thriller with, you know, Kristen Stewart, he's always sort of saying, "You've got to go to Rio because in Rio, you know, the dancing, the movement, that is real." Uh, You got a real French manicure. I got a real French manicure in the French Riviera, you're right. And, um, do you know why I really like it? Because when you're talking to somebody and you can see them notice it. So they'll sort of be talking, talking to you. And then suddenly they'll be like, "Uh-huh, uh-huh." Uh, and then they try and keep talking as if it's not weird.

Young Hollywood

Oh no, I full-on, I full-on want to call that out. That's right. You saw it from the beginning.

TJ Miller

Yeah. And, you know what? It looks good around a rubber chicken, if you know what I mean, girl. She knows what I'm saying. Hey, I'm bronze. These glasses when I was a baby, girl. Cannot waiver everything you have, TJ. Seriously. Love you, man. Just trying to oversaturate the market. Please everything. Everything. Look at those shoulders. There's a reason she's showing them off cuz they are something else. Oh, I don't want to drop this mic cuz I'll get in trouble. True. Hashtag true.
