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...


Another awesome episode! Keep up the great work!
This was such a joy to listen to. I’ve always wondered more about Mr. Lawrence after reading the name in Rocko back in the day, and I always thought by reading that name “….no one talks to this guy”. But he’s SUCH A NICE GUY! And I had no idea how much creative input he had in Rocko and then in Spongebob. As an animator just starting out and planning the big move out west, this was really inspirational to hear. So thanks, Tom!
P.S. I have a personalized “Laughing Filburt” hanging up on my wall from Joe Murray. Some people have a Laughing Jesus….;D
