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.
Great interview with a guy who’s career has been fun to follow. Love your podcast and I’m really excited for the show tomorrow.
Great podcast. To your state capital location tangent conversation, I hear state capital cities are “generally” located near the center of the state. I think Albany would fall under that classification. There’s outlier capitals, for sure, so I’m not sure how much weight this theory holds.
Okay Riki. You’re cool, and cute and appropriately bubbly. Perfect host – you always end up infecting the guest with your enthusiasm.
However. You need to step outside your comfort zone. I understand that this site mainly caters to the “alternative” or “nerdy” crowd, but a lot of the guests you have on simply have too much in common with you.
It would be much more interesting to hear you have a talk with someone outside your usual crowd. Examples:
Amy Schumer, Anthony Jeselneck, Iliza Schlesinger, Joe Rogan, Alison Rosen, Bill Burr, Lisa Lampanelli, Joey Diaz, Neal Brennan, Charlie Murphy, Donnell Rawlings…
Just try to step outside your niche please! It’ll be bloody fascinating to see you go up against them.
More!….DOV DAVIDOFF, Jim Jeffries, Eddie Ifft, Dom Irrera, Etc. Mix ‘em in with the comedy and film nerds.
Riki! Next time someone utters the sentence; “David Hasslehoff has the craziest stories”. YOU say; “Tell me one!”
