Given that he’s eaten beef in record time on Conan, this is all par for the course for TJ Miller.

TJ Miller continues to leave an indelible presence with every talk show appearance as evidenced by his latest sit down with Conan.

As the host of the upcoming Golden Trailer Awards, having a role in the Deadpool movie, and being the subversive Erlich Bachman on Silicon Valley, TJ naturally just talked about the craziest trailer that you’ll possibly ever see, some “unbelievable” details about Deadpool that Marvel might get mad at, and showed how to be Erlich in real life.

From seeing this and every other talk show appearance by TJ, you could easily cut together a full length comedy special.

UPDATE on Ant-Man Director: Peyton Reed Chosen, Adam McKay Will Help Script

We just reported the possibility of Ant-Man being directed by David Wain. Another director in contention was Peyton Reed, who was just announced as the replacement for Edgar Wright. Reed whose name might not be as recognizable as Wain’s has a wide and varied directorial filmography including Yes Man, Upright Citizens Brigade the TV series, Bring It On, Mr. Show, The Weird Al Show, and more.

In sort of a twist, Adam McKay, who was a possible choice for Marvel as a director, will now help write the script.

Adam McKay, Ruben Fleischer, and Rawson Thurber Being Considered to Replace Edgar Wright as “Ant-Man” Director

Citing creative differences, Edgar Wright has left his post as director of the upcoming Ant-Man movie from Marvel Studios. Of course, a search for his replacement has been immediately underway with the aforementioned names of Adam McKay, Ruben Fleischer, and Rawson Thurber being floated around.

Many of you probably know McKay’s filmography/Funny or Die over Fleischer’s or Thurber’s, but know that Fleischer and Thurber helmed Zombieland and Dodgeball, respectively. Wright leaving the project is sad, but we’ll be intrigued what any one of the three will do.
