TJ Miller left “Silicon Valley” because of his busy schedule and creative differences, but he’s still got bad blood with some of the faces behind the HBO hit — most notably executive producer Alec Berg.

“I didn’t talk to Alec [about leaving] because I don’t like Alec, but I think Mike Judge and Clay Tarver are brilliant,” Miller, 36, told The Hollywood Reporter. “Both of them were so accommodating, saying, ‘Well, what if you just do three episodes?’ or, ‘What if you just did the season finale?'”

To Miller, Berg was representative of a bigger problem in the world of comedy television.

“I don’t know how smart [Berg] is,” he said. “He went to Harvard, and we all know those kids are f—king idiots. That Crimson trash. Those comedy writers in Hollywood are f—king Harvard graduates and that’s why they’re smug as a bug … I think that in television you usually have one element that is very challenging, very frustrating. It’s an obstacle, right? So you’re doing the best work that you can do. Alec was that for me, and I think I was that for Alec.”

Despite the animosity towards Berg, Miller’s jam-packed movie and standup schedule was the biggest reason why he left the sitcom after four seasons.

“I’m doing stand-up and I come back and I didn’t sleep at all. I was incredibly busy. People joke about it but I’m the hardest-working man in show business, maybe. So they were like, ‘Let’s make this easier for both of us.’ And I was like, ‘I think this is an amazing opportunity,'” he explained.

Even though he’s used to being busy, the comedian was tired of how much the show was getting in the way of his personal life.

“I want to have a schedule where I can have a fun, healthy relationship where we have lazy days. I also want to be the voiceover of ‘How to Train Your Dragon’ theme parks,” he said. “I’m doing a lot as a public servant and jester to the American public.”

The “Deadpool” star also hinted that he felt out of place as an actor on a scripted series.

“Knowing that Kumail [Nanjiani] is brilliant, Zach Woods is the greatest improviser alive, Thomas Middleditch is one of the funniest people of all, Martin Starr is the deadpan comedian of our generation … I think they thought I was a television actor and not a comedian. I’m not an actor; I’m a comedian,” Miller said. “And I don’t know how the f—k I hoodwinked Hollywood into giving me a career in this. But I’m not sitting here saying, ‘I need more lines. I’m not funny enough.’ I’m not Thomas Middleditch. I’m me, the guy that thinks all of this is sort of ridiculous.”

Still, Miller admitted, “It felt like a breakup with HBO. The final phone call was them going like, ‘Well, I don’t think this is the end of Erlich. I still want to see him on television,’ and I was like, ‘I know but I think this is for the best.’ HBO has never treated me as an employee, always as a collaborator. They were understanding and said, ‘Look, if you really think that this is the move and that you’ll be able to produce an hour special for us sooner than you would have if you were on the show and if you feel right now under the current administration that you need to do standup because you need to be talking to the American public, then we support that.’ … So they were very, very cool about it, and that final conversation was super friendly and sad. It was heartbreaking on my end.”
