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.
Man, I’m right there with Carly when she was talking about taking that acting class. I played football for almost 10 years in addition to various other sporty/jock things, so when I started taking acting classes in college all of these things we were doing just seemed INSANE to me (some still do).
I, too had to do that sunshine through the fingertips thing; but the one that really got me was when they wanted us to, over the span of 10 minutes, go from birth to where we are now. I didn’t do well in that exercise at all. It only took my teacher 2 quarters to start figuring out how to talk to me cuz I wasn’t buying in to any of the hippie-dippie acting spirituality crap cuz I always viewed it as a sport. It’s a good thing that they figured it out I ended up acting in a lot of shows that I really loved.
Great episode as always, Carly seems like a genuinely fun person.
Idea for a mash category: nemesis. You know, a rival. Sherlock Holmes had Moriarty. Obama had Romney (and McCain before). Korra has Amon. Paul McCartney had John Lennon. Even Maggie Simpsons has that other baby with one eyebrow. Why would one’s fantasy future would be all fun and roses? I think it’d be nice to spice it up with someone to best in one way or another. I mean, superpowers have come up before, but what’s a superhero without a supervillain?
As for grapeseed oil, it’s too pricey. I settle for the cheaper rapeseed oil, which is better known as canola oil, for some weird reason…
If she was to be a redhead with blue eyes and big lips you can have mine.
I love these childhood photos. They really ground the stories told.
