When I last saw the Chicago-trained comic-actor T.J. Miller perform live, during a 2012 taping of Conan O’Brien’s TBS talk show at the Chicago Theatre, he ended a typically offbeat set by speed-gorging an Italian beef sandwich and then smearing another all over his face and hair. The audience ate it up.

In keeping with his far-out sensibilities, Miller — who was recently tapped for a Mike Judge show on HBO and stars in the forthcoming (and Chicago-shot) Transformers: Age of Extinction — recently appeared on a morning program in Kansas City, MO. Inexplicably, he was soaking wet. As he riffed on everything from an “awfully ominous” owl statue in the studio, a previous CD of his that failed to sell and National Pancake Day, host Michelle Davidson could do little but sit back and let Miller’s special brand of insanity run amuck.
