I’m your nerd host, Chris Hardwick
Nerdist is a place where we nerds come together and share the nerdery that we find. It's also my home to various elements of the Nerdist Empire. You might recognize me from TV. You don't realize that's where you know me from, but it is. You think you went to college with me or I look like your cousin's friend, but that is not the case. At one time or another you stumbled upon me on your moving picture box in such cerebral gems as MTV's "Singled Out" and Noam Chomsky's "Shipmates." and so much more...
Say hello to the contributors.
Love T.J. Miller, so happy he has resurfaced somewhere other than on Doug Loves Movies!
I liked him on Happy Endings, downloading right now!
Real Juice,
TJ Miller is a effing awesome comedian and made She’s Out Of My League worth watching.
Drink It Up

Yay a whole hour of TJ Miller
Gonna give this a tumble as I’ve heard and enjoyed TJ a couple o’ times on Adam’s show.
Ya know, hold your fingers in front of some of the background behind TJ in that picture, and I’d swear he was a young Chevy Chase.
I’m just sayin’…
Great to hear T.J. hilarious and I have to see that bear video. Also I really wanted to also thank you guys for your film recommendations, just washed The Dark Backward yesterday and it was equal parts weird and awesome. Funny for all the strangest reason and Bill Paxton is crazy as hell in that movie. Also watched 3 o’clock high and easily one of the best high school movies I have ever seen. Thanks again.
@Nater
He does kind of look like Chevy.
That’s some real juice. Drink it up.
I’ve loved TJ since “Carpoolers”. Damn funny show and he killed as Marmaduke on it. Love whenever he pops up in a movie or on “Chelsea Lately”. Great podcast.
Snagglepuss is a lion! You dirty bastards!
Dam I can’t believe I missed the P-town show, I have been looking forward to it for months, but it happened to be a weekend that I had to be out of town. Please come back soon.
I think Mira would prefer a voice modulator that just comes out as Dave Matthews Band.
Ha-AAA-ve you See-EE-n my new thro-Ooat cA-aancer, yeahayeah?
Listening to T.J.’s “Extended Play E.P.” on Spotify only because it was mentioned here (otherwise I’d have been clueless). It’s actually good. Sounds like a lot of work went into this joke and I’ve been a fan of most, if not all, 20 tracks I’ve listened to so far.
Deep breath.
21 more to go.
I want a Carpoolers DVD NOW NOW NOW dammit.
Was anybody else(pleasantly) suprised when the conversation switched over to the singularity? Chris any chance of having Ray Kurzweil on the podcast ? Your nerd cred would increase exponentially.
In case anyone wasn’t aware, all those cool Best Actress in a Comedy nominee gags were Amy Poehler’s idea. She is the best! #UCBFTW
TJ made an interesting point in this episode about appealing to a broader audience in order to entertain the masses and generate attention. I understand that you guys (Matt, Chris and Jonah) are happy with having a niche of “nerdy people” as your audience, which is fine. However, I thought that I should say that while you may be appealing to that group in particular, the podcasts are very funny and entertaining in their own right, so don’t underestimate your influence!
Keep up the great work!
One of my absolute favorite Hardwickisms is the fake dramatic singing, or whatever you call it. It’s always kind of the same voice but somehow gets me every time, especially when it’s singing I Will Always Love You. #MajorSqueeeeeeeHashtaggingOutsideTwitter
This was perfectly timed. I just caught some parts “Extract” over the weekend after I’d seen it in the theater. T.J. Miller is hysterical in that movie; he’s perfect. I had no idea he was a voice in “How to Train Your Dragon,” too. I love that movie. It’s nice to hear that he’s also very charming being himself.
I also just listened to Hodgman interview Neil DeGrasse Tyson about the singularity. I know you guys have been trying, but I really think NGT would be a fantastic guest.
Clarification on previous post about “nerdy people”:
I think that I misinterpreted Chris’ definition of ‘nerd’ (mine has more to do with knowledge, whereas he talks about ‘nerdiness’ in terms of personality).
I don’t think that it particularly matters, but I just thought I’d say it for the record.
That’s real juice – drink it up!
(I doubt that it actually is real juice – I just enjoy using that phrase!)
Thoroughly enjoyed this!
Thesaurus! The “amazing” stuff hurts my ears!
I don’t give a shit really, considering you put out good stuff and it truely is “amazing”. I like the redesign of the website. It makes it sooooo much easier to navigate.
awwwwe I miss carpoolers!!!! I loved TJ in that!
HOLY SHIT, SHERSHOW!
I have probably listened to this episode 5 or 6 times now and it makes me laugh every time. More TJ Miller, please!
