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...


Firsties!! And this shall be awesome!
Was at the recording of this last weekend. Almost as funny listening to it again. Best part imo still is the “Portland is….(women in audience: ‘PARAAADIIISE!’) “
Jonah’s Huck Finn bit: THE SINGLE FUNNIEST RIFF IN NERDIST HISTORY. I’m crying.
Pics of the ending (because it happened) if you’re interested, but don’t look at them until you’ve listened all the way through. If things get spoiled accidentally, I will feel bad.

Chris i beat portal 2 in 6 hours come on Chris your better than this.
I understand not putting in the stand up portion and think its plenty fair but as a fan of all three of you I would love to hear it. I know it probably wont change but id like to say i would love you to consider putting the stand up in. The more of you 3 the better. Thanks for everything.
This episode was amazazing. I could barely breathe from laughing so much at just the intro. Then the episode happened . . . and I’m amazed I didn’t pass out from a lack of oxygen.
I thought I’d never tear up… but I got misty-eyed. Nerdist Industry’s newest podcast: Weddings on the Yacht with Matt getting a wedding priest like certificate thingy.
People around the world are now popping out youngin’s while listening to another birthing of a Jonah nickname. :’( I wish i wouldn’t…
Please bring The Nerdist Live to S. AZ. (read as: Tucson!).
Any chance you guys could come to Buffalo? I’d love to see the show!
And what an amazing episode. I kept wondering what the end would be – did NOT expect that AT ALL.
Hey Chris – any chance you’ll post the NYC show with Jim Gaffigan? I was there in person but would love to re-listen!
I don’t get it, where’s the volume control.
best live!
that was fantastic, it made an already good day better!
Do a book signing in New Yorkkkkkkkk!
Choking on laughter.
The dream of the Nineties is alive in Nerdist! Thanks again for delighting us til we cried tears of amusement.
It is no longer possible to download these podcasts on my phone’s browser anymore :[
Please provide a text url somewhere!
Hope you guys paid the performance licence for “Happy Birthday” to Time Warner!
Great Podcast.
The down arrow is download.
Great episode. Loved hearing you guys be interviewed by the audience
The episode where you say marriage is “like prison, but without all the sex”, is also the episode where a guy proposes. Wonderful.
haha.
One of the greatest Nerdist eps yet.
You’re.
I will treasure this always as a souvenir of this wonderful event
@eric http://nerdist.libsyn.com/rss is the direct rss feed if that helps
Might be because I was in a shitty mood, I don’t know, but this was probably my least favorite hostfull episode. These episodes in front of a crowd are usually that I don’t love. Which is not to say it was bad, just not as awesome as regular in-studio episodes.
] – Beyonce is fucking annoying. Almost as annoying as Adele.
Also, and this is just snob and asshole in me talking [but that's ok, cause Jonah does that often too
If I’m going to see you in DC next Sunday, should i skip this until then?
best hostfull episode EVER! omg <3 Jonah was SOO FUNNY!!!! love this one
@ben i hope you’re just ignorant instead of being rude @michaelhon, thanks I would rather use my browser to downloaded but I guess I will have to download “beyondpod” or some app. Thanks anyway, beggars can’t be choosers.
I’m such a sucker for wedding proposals, so cute! Jonahs Huck Finn might be the most hilarious thing on a hostful episode. So god damn funny.
I move to Arizona and then you guys do a live show in p-town. I am not the luckiest person ever. I am glad you went there though, even if I could not be there to see it. I still get to put it in my ears, which is almost as good!
the zombies talked the Return of the Living Dead series.
Wow, Jonah was in a really good mood!!!
What if I don’t want to “live in Portland”? I mean the greater Cincinnati area isn’t great, but…
(For those not getting it, the podcast title is “Live in Portland”. To remove ambiguity, it should be “Live FROM Portland” or somthing similar.)
GRAMMAR NAZI…AWAY!!
Too awesome! Did not see that coming. Got all misty n stuff. Fucking EPIC Nerdist first!!!! You three are doin the good Ceiling Cat’s work!
That is a drunk Jonah.
More drunk Jonah!!!!!
Chris, I would suggest a slight revision to your excellent joke: “Welcome to the jungle, we got FUNNEL cake.” Who am I, somd COMEDY writer? Geddouddahere.
Best episode ever not just because I was there but I got to ask a question ( kid on the balcony) but I also got a picture after I dident notice johna was so drunk till I listened to the podcast but then I saw the picture I got …omg johna is fukin drunk
I didn’t want to steal The Nerdist thunder, I feel like the luckiest person in the world that I was given the chance to ask the woman I love to marry me on the show. Im so grateful that my fellow nerds could be a part of it. Chris is both a Hero and an Inspiration to me.
1:10:10 listen for the elusive Hardwick Walrus mating call…
So Siri says you have 12 f*cks. Would you mind giving me one, or will you not give a f*ck for your fans? Hee. Sorry, couldn’t resist.
Love the show! Keep it up!
Chris Hardwick was in Portland and I missed it? For shame!
AWWW YEEAH I LOVE FROG CATCHIN!
Can someone post a link to that Beyonce concert video so I don’t have to type in “Beyonce Video” in my search engine at work? DIIDJA CATCH A FROOOG?
