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...

I just watched that Scare Tactics scene. If I hadn’t heard Jon tell the story I would have thought the guy’s reaction was staged, with the dancing and everything.
I feel like I leave the same comment every week, but hilarious episode.
Damn, I laughed hysterically for realz every time fake laughter happened.
Carl Sagan would smoke pot for inspiration about the nature of the universe, but I’m sure that now and again, even he would forget that the earth orbits the sun.
Really great episode, thanks pete, thanks jon
GOD DAMN IT! I just started watching The Wire.
I heard “Friendship starts after Inception”. It was much funnier in my head.
“It’s my understanding that the Earth stays in one place.”
Oh, Pete.
Why did I automatically think that the “Adorable, little guy Jimmy” was Asian. I found the Scare Tactics clip, I was right.
Outside of Pittsburgh, you can get a Victorian home for $15,000.
