For four seasons, he played the lovable (but more often unlovable) blowhard parasite Erlich Bachman on HBO’s Silicon Valley. So, there is no more natural environment to get the full-on T.J. treatment than in The Capital of Silicon Valley. Of course, Miller’s public image took a steep dive after he was accused of sexual assault in 2017, making him a problematic cultural figure as he attempts to resurrect his stand-up career. You can bet the elephant in the room will be there at every one of his five sets. Miller’s never been accused of timidity, however, so we’re betting he’ll tackle that elephant head-on.
