T.J. Miller Doesn't Like 'Silicon Valley' Producer
by EG
TJ Miller’s reasons for leaving “Silicon Valley” included his busy schedule and creative differences, but that doesn’t mean he doesn’t have bad blood with some of the faces behind the HBO hit — most notably executive producer Alec Berg.
“I didn’t talk to Alec [about leaving] because I don’t like Alec, but I think Mike Judge and Clay Tarver are brilliant,” Miller, 36, told The Hollywood Reporter. “Both of them were so accommodating, saying, ‘Well, what if you just do three episodes?’ or, ‘What if you just did the season finale?'”
To Miller, Berg was representative of a bigger problem in the world of comedy television.
“I don’t know how smart [Berg] is,” he said. “He went to Harvard, and we all know those kids are f—king idiots. That Crimson trash. Those comedy writers in Hollywood are f—king Harvard graduates and that’s why they’re smug as a bug … I think that in television you usually have one element that is very challenging, very frustrating. It’s an obstacle, right? So you’re doing the best work that you can do. Alec was that for me, and I think I was that for Alec.”
