T.J. Miller says leaving Silicon Valley “was an easy decision to make”

The Boston Globe

Leaving the hit HBO series was “the least anticipated move I can make,” says Miller, who was prompted to exit in response to the presidential election. Besides, Miller would rather do standup comedy: “It’s the only way to reach an audience without any sort of censor or filter... Silicon Valley was a very good experience for me — I’m fortunate to have been part of something that was a cultural touchstone,” he said. “But talking about Silicon Valley became irrelevant after something very big happened.”
