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...



“Five Hundred Weeks!” so funny.
It’s the Cardigans, song: “Love Fool”. Yes, I’m only ~26 minutes in, had to do it. Sorry! Enjoying it!
Best. Episode.
FIVE hundred WEEKS!
“There’s sex in the air at Whole Foods.” I never thought about it before but that is so true… and gross!
I thoroughly enjoyed this interview. Chris is so open and warm. As a fellow lesbian, I am inspired by Chris’ candid nature as well her a ability to not be pinned down as a butch or fem lesbian. Truly a beautiful woman that wears the weathered leather of her face well.
@Diana you’re funny!
Most. Definitely. Funniest. Episode. Ever. Also really sincere and great! Awesome ep!
Pete mentions John Mulaney just as much, if not more, than Chelsea. When are we getting a Mulaney interview?
The first half was really inspired, but at the end when you guys start describing what you “think” atheists believe about morality and the universe it really tweaked my anger holes. But I guess that’s the problem with listening to podcasts as your main source of entertainment; eventually the fact that you will never be able to interrupt the conversation and correct someone on their bullshit will drive you insane.
@puggapugga What pissed you off so much? Just curious…
getting drunk and talking on instant messenger.
I CAN’T stop sayin’ FIVE hundred WEEKS! I can’t be sittin’ HEEERE sayin’ FIVE hundred WEEKS for FIVE hundred WEEKS!
top funniest episodes ever. Chris is one funny mofo
I’m still catching up on old YMIW episodes (not looking forward to the day I run out!) and this is seriously one of the funniest episodes I’ve ever heard. I listened to it while walking home from work and was legit laughing out loud for most of the first half and getting funny looks. Chris Thayer is a serious delight. I love that the first half was laugh out loud hilarious and the second was serious, introspective, and smart. I hope you have Chris back again soon, Pete!
