In the past on his podcast, Hardwick described his Comedy Central pilot as a pop culture spin on The Daily Show and also likened it to ‘Attack of the Show.’ How much of that remains is to be seen. This will be his third on-going chat show across three different networks.
Even more interesting is it puts Hardwick in direct timeslot competition with fellow Nerdist network podcaster and friend Pete Holmes.

Chris Hardwick sent Tom Hanks a vintage typewriter along with a request for him to be on the Nerdist podcast. This was Tom Hanks’ response, proving once again why T.Hanks is an American treasure.
Comedy Central announced their fall lineup today and it is a bountiful turducken-sized cornucopia of awesomeness worthy of being thankful for and other autumnal metaphors.
So! Here is the trailer for a web series I’ll be hosting, where I chat with cool people over actual alcoholic drinks. We’ve shot a dozen of these so far and I am grateful to have been asked to host them. I got to have interesting conversations with strangers and friends alike.
