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.
Yes, Katie IS cute. That’s all.
I was at the show tonight in Vancouver…nearly too much fun. Go on Saturday if you can.
I love your podcast! Thank you for doing it!
I think there are 2 ways people could take the Beverly Hills oscars joke.
1) Stereotyping against black people.
2) A commentary on sociopolitics in America where discrimination and other factors has led to very little social mobility and many neighborhoods remain segregated along race lines.
Summed up in the past by Sarah Silverman as the difference of, ‘are you being racist or are you making fun of racism’. (And obviously this could also apply to many things other than racism too).
I think shows like South Park sometimes get too much credit for being the latter. (Not saying they don’t have a right to make whatever jokes they want but I think they are sometimes given too much credit for making a critique when they were really at times just making a cheap joke).
I must be the only one wishing that Todd Glass was friends with the lead singer of Queensryche. Oh well, have to settle for Chris Hardwick and Cake then. LOL
You’re not the only one, Murphy! I was like, “Todd is friends with Geoff Tate? Crazy!”
I am 23, in college, and i haven’t heard of half of the people on the show (ashamed), But I love the show, and feel like i know them afterwards and that why the show is awesome.
“I’d sure wanna help my mother but with my two crippled feet what could I do? They used to put velcro pants on me and I’d roll around on the carpeting to help clean up.”
Played that back ten times, tears in my eyes.
