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.
I still remember the first time I went Schwarzenegger on a cherry pie.
I just watched ‘Shovel Fighter’ yesterday – Matt is hilarious!
Whoever came up with the notion that our consciousness is an “energy” is a dumbass… that is all.
The image of Pete, drunk and a little sad, listening to The National, is my new favorite thing. That makes TOO much sense.
Thank you so much for Look at this flock/murder/pride of ‘tards. Nice people have naughty thoughts, just no way around it.
Running wild in the streets! Loved this one so very much.
My face hurts from laughing at “lumbering idiot.” Pete, if you see this, please do that on stage.
Growing up my friend Jarrod and I would trade music and he ALWAYS wanted to run through the CD and only listen to the first 20 seconds of every song before releasing it into my custody. YOU KNOW TOO MUCH HOLMES!
Just so you know the lead singer of Warrant hated the song and it haunted him for his whole life till he died.
Great summation of Matt’s Mother Teresa point:
God love you Pete. You slay me with your insane honesty about stuff guys never normally talk about cos of pride and fear of being ridiculed or labelled a mental patient. The stuff about the unhelpful old block-in guy was priceless – “old man jeans – they’re gonna be broken at the femur”, “break your knee like Tom Cruise in Collateral”, “you old brittle man”, “hating this man”.
Shit – thanks for the first much-needed laugh of the day. I think it’s funnier because of the contrast between your religious background/normally warm nature, and that unbridled rage at being treated like a chump we can all identify with. Keep it coming Sir – you’re one funny fucker.
