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 so relate to the “always feeling everything” comment. I have that so bad, it’s hard to function sometimes. I sometimes have to totally numb myself in order to interact with people, because I just soar on every high and get shoved down by every low, whipped around by the emotions of those around me like a plastic bag in the wind or a bird in a storm. Hopefully one day I’ll learn to ride those gusts…For now I use music, comedy podcasts, and romcoms, and try to surround myself with the most stable, breezy people possible.
