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.

Sorry I clicked on the link. Yucky.
Why the random anti-Semitic rant? Go get stuffed.
his movie office christmas party tanked
Agreed. He isn’t funny at all.
Why did the chicken cross the road?
To machinate with the Russians.
The only difference is the D or the R after the name. If it’s D they insist we respect the office. If it’s R they insist we disrespect it.
I did that with TV Land. I just want to watch Raymond and King of Queens, but I won’t put up with ads for their relentlessly liberal original shows, with kidney thief Jorge Lopez leading the charge.
Good. Hollywood is churning out more crap than ever before...just to give all the waiters and waitresses something to supplement their incomes, I guess, lol.
Hopefully some of these studios eventually fold and idiots like this guy go back home to Mom’s basement.
I just love King of Queens.
I like everyone on it. And, for a big man, Kevin James is kind of attractive.
I just try to forget that the guy who plays Spence is a rabid/demented liberal.
I hope that you understood what you was talking about because I did not. The only things I know Democrats respect are power, degeneracy, perversion, evil, money, treachery, treason, respecting an office I have never heard about.
Yeah, but at least he usually ends up a loser. I like when Adam West kicked him out on the expressway.
What? He doesn’t agree with the American people’s choice of President?
WHO?
Time-Lies-Warner-Turner-HBO-CNN seems to fund a lot of these Lefties.
Why is that?
Never heard of him!
I’m glad for reports like this. The let me know about people I’ve never heard of that can remain that way.
Bingo! I haven’t bothered with broadcast TV in nearly 10 years. Just Internet streaming of Movies and TV with Roku.
This is all bullshit! Leftist “comedians” routinely savaged Bush 41 and then went into full apocalyptic sedition mode with Reagan and Bush 43. Nothing they’re doing with Trump is any different. The only thing different this time is the deafening silence - even silent acquiescing support - of Congressional and other establishment Republicans!
Poofter Alert!
It would be nice to see revenues plummet for those “entertainers”, “entertainment” purveyors and “entertainment” producers who decide to change their approach from “entertaining” to “non-entertaining”.
