Actor and stand-up comedian T.J. Miller believes that the roles of entertainers have changed drastically with the election of President Donald Trump. In an interview with the Wrap this week, the Silicon Valley star — whose first HBO stand-up special, Meticulously Ridiculous, premiered Saturday — said his whole approach to his craft has changed now that Trump, whom he called “this mother***er in the White House,” was elected in November.
“It used to be different — before it was, ‘What is absurdist?’ Then this mother***er in the White House totally changed everything for everyone,” the 36-year-old actor told the outlet.
“Immediately after the election, Kumail Nanjiani was walking around the set of Silicon Valley saying, ‘Everything’s changed now — standup, everything.’ Now, I have a political obstacle to a social mission, and the f*ckery that must be dealt with,” he added.
Miller has previously spoken out against the president; during his hosting gig at the Critics’ Choice Awards in December, the actor joked that trolls did well in 2016, “not the movie, but the dudes on the Internet,” adding: “One of them got elected president.”
Miller also stood on an actual “soap box” for a segment about how celebrities should stick to doing their jobs instead of trying to opine on politics.
“All I want to do is talk about what’s going on in the world, but the problem is, I hate when celebrities get on their soap box,” Miller said. “Just do your act. Don’t tell the rest of us how to think, O.K.?”
A few days before the awards show, the Office Christmas Party actor was arrested after allegedly slapping an Uber driver during what was reported to be an argument between the two about then-President-elect Trump.

One look at him at the link explains why I’ve never heard of him. His get up explains why he should be ignored or ridiculed!
If the MSM would report factually there wouldn’t be this rabid hatred of Trump.
If it had been Jeb, or Rubio the hate would still be there I think.
America is at an impasse, and the left now just cannot allow themselves to lose.
Trump impacts Global warming AND comedy.
Never mind. Don't tell me. Don't care.
Rules don’t change. Otherwise they aren’t rules. We are a nation on laws and traditions. This absurdity is the reason we have people being shot. I never want want to hear how poor Obama was treated. I’ll go off from now on when I hear that stupid crap.
Another loser trying to get some fame.
What changed is that we have a true leader as opposed the Muslim POS we had the previous 8 years
He should be pelted with rocks and garbage ...
Huh?
THE ONLY THING THAT HAS CHANGED IS THAT THIS MOTHER****ER IS EVEN LESS ENTERTAINING NOW. sorry about the yelling.
I would occasionally watch Comedy Central to watch Futurama or South Park. But the commercials for the Tards who did the even faker news on this travesty of a channel pissed me off so much that I flat out had to stop.
I have access to Futurama on Netflix and can get South Park from the web too. I refuse to turn the garbage channel on ever again.
It has only changed for the better. Anyone who thinks otherwise is an immature leftist stooge like this nobody unfunny comedian wannabe.
Damn, even carrot top is more attractive than that guy.
“comedian”? We did that stupid shit in the 4th grade maybe. Gimme a break...
Never heard of that douche bag..I thought all these liberal loons said they would move to Venezuela or North Korea if Trump were elected..I will pay their airfare just LEAVE PLEASE
“Now, I have a political obstacle to a social mission, and the f*ckery that must be dealt with”
Who the frick does this hack think he is?
Tell some jokes, or get the hell off the stage.
Comedy club owners do not tolerate people that can empty seats. Find out where he does his sets, and tell the owners you wont be patronizing their clubs.
I like Kevin Hart. He flatly said he will not criticize Trump or inject politics into his routine.
Another POS Commie.
