Seriously?

I love him! He's the Nerdist and Taikng Dead guy. Also has a late night panel show - @Midnight.

Hardwick is a stand-up comedian who also does really great podcast interviews and gets really awesome guests. He's involved at various levels in a whole bunch of stuff.

The Nerdist (and several others of the Nerdist.com stable of podcasts) is one of my favourite podcasts. Has a massive following.

I highly recommend both the Nerdist and the Nerdist Writers Panel podcasts. The guests they get are just fantastic. NWP gets really indepth with screen writers and showrunners, filmmakers, novelists and comicbook writers (though there's now a separate Comic Writer's Panel podcast). NP interviews all sorts of people.

Podcaster and Talk Show Host, are different animals over here. Why do you think it's called Nerdist?

DanaC · 08-25-2015, 04:17 PM

Yes - but he has also hosted talk shows. The Talking Dead is a talk show follow up to the Walking Dead, Talking Bad during the final season of Breaking Bad, was similar.d@Midnight is part game show, part chat show. Also Nerdist was briefly a tv talk show (not sure but I think it was made by BBC America).

(As DanaC says) He's hosted a number of TV shows as well.

Grace Helbig is a Youtube celebrity who has been on a number of TV shows, and had her own short-lived talk show.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-25-2015, 04:24 PM

And made movies and done voice acting, however Mr & Mrs America would be confused if you call him a Talk Show Host. They barely know who Jon Stewart is.

DanaC · 08-25-2015, 04:38 PM

Ah. Fair enough. I was just surprised Grav hadn't heard of him. Also it was an opportunity for me to tell anyone who'll listen about the Nerdist podcast... on account of its awesomeness. It's my current addiction. I've been binge listening to episodes from the archive.

In fact - I'm off to bed and I'm taking Nerdist with me (most recent ep has Owen Wilson so that should be a fun interview).

xoxoxoBruce · 08-25-2015, 04:47 PM

Hey, he's the most Googled is some places, so that's a good sign the word is spreading.

DanaC · 08-25-2015, 04:47 PM

Hehehehe

Gravdigr · 08-25-2015, 05:14 PM

Thanks Dana, and HapMo.

I know who Jon Stewart is...He's a wrestler, right?

Ran across this chart, supposedly from the PEW, which gives me some confidence although that would be easy to forge. Of course not seeing any big surprises makes me want to accept it, but sneaky people would slip in just enough error on the issue they want to influence, to look legit. Skeptical? Not me.

Anyway, it shows the split between scientists and the public on some issues.

Interesting that scientists are relatively down on astronauts but up on the space station.

xoxoxoBruce · 08-29-2015, 04:56 PM

I guess the rovers and the drill the comet thingy, convinced them the expense and difficulty isn't worth it. They're up on the space station just to spite tw.

xoxoxoBruce · 09-06-2015, 02:25 PM

They used shades of red which are pretty hard to discern from the next shade, Probably to build an easy defense.

DanaC · 10-10-2015, 04:26 AM

I think the psycopath thing is true. I'm pretty sure that was the guy who made a documentary about it.

If I used myself as a control, and the result was that I was afflicted with the same condition I was testing for, I'd wonder about my hypothesis.
Because I'm assuming the man is not a killer, right?

Unless he was scanning his cellmates I suppose.
And when I say scanning I mean with a shiv...
