Hes one of only 3 interviewers I know of that people look forward to seeing. The other two being Graham Norton and Sean Evans since both of them try to ask poinant questions and don't treat the guests as being stupid. Now Graham Nortan gives his guests some free booze which helps loosen them up a bit so they laugh and tell memorable stories while feeling comfortable. The third person is Sean Evans from the youtube series Hot Ones because his questions are always on point almost like Nardwuar but him and the guest both eat spicy hot wings. Most guests tend to love being on there even if the hotter sauces used can be pure murder on the tongue lol. Frankly those 2 and Nardwuar are the only 3 interviewers I've seen where guests commonly say they're looking forward to it which is a high honor.
Squishysforbreakfast yep, and they usually also end up having to admit that although they may not understand what to do with him/what he’s about (after all, I partly love him so much bc, like many other fans of his, I don’t know WHAT he is..he’s certainly not Pt of the human species..he’s better👍)anyhoo, they usually all end up having respect for him, his kind & gentle manner & funniness, & of course his amazingly extensive knowledge.😊
You can tell Snoop and Kendrick were actually glad to be interviewing with our boy, also I’m 100% certain he gave Kendrick the source material for the TPAB cover
This dude is as solid as they come. I was living on the streets right at Main and Hastings (Pain and Wastings). I walked by Nardwar, gave him a what's up nod and the man could tell I was down in life and self and he told me to keep my head up, things would get better. He was fully engaged and had all the time in the world for me. Bottom line he is a great man in my eyes!!
Kendrick was my favorite person to be interviewed by Nardwuar, he's so happy and comfortable being interviewed, clearly he ain't got a huge ego like some of the other people from before Kendricks era. Idk if he'd be the same today, feel like he's got a way bigger ego now but still respect on him
@@Gin-kz5sscoming to warn u from the future, there's this thing called a wildfire and some smoke is gonna go to America making the whole place be filled with smoke (especially in ny)
I think he was speaking super fast to follow up on Rollins saying to pick 2 questions and then him saying to pick a question to answer from all the questions he will read. That's what happened right before. I believe he was showing off to Rollins whom just been rude to him.
If Nardwuar is the one digging for all these questions then props to him. Shits not always easy, because there are so many interviews you have to read/watch to learn about the interviewee
Apparently he is. I dont know for sure, but i heard he interfiews their family members first before talking to the celebrity, but like i said, i dont know for sure
I don’t know too much about him but I’d say it’s basically all him. This is his passion, all of it, not just the interviewing part, so I’d say he for sure enjoys the process of gathering info and relevant artifacts/gifts

Andreas Kuusisto Nothing generational about it. I heard Revolver and Sgt. Pepper’s for the first time as a teenager, about ten years ago or so, and even half a century after their original releases they still blew my mind. Anyone who can’t appreciate the innovation or songwriting of songs like “A Day in the Life” and “Tomorrow Never Knows”, given their age and how they sound contemporary even today (even pioneering looping and sampling), has no business expecting their criticisms of music to be taken seriously. They’ve already established that they have subzero temperature, ice cold takes. It’s like saying The Godfather is a bad movie. You can dislike it all you want (personal taste is what it is), but to say it’s _not good_ is frankly ignorant.

Snoop was gonna cry when Nardwuar gave him that tape. That was somethin' special. Easily my favorite Nardwuar moment.
Mine is when Pharell said that he gave one of the most impressive interviews.
I almost cried at that.
You could hear snoops voice crack cause it meant a lot to him but he didn’t wanna seem soft. Soo awesome
Have you seen the third interview with Questlove? That’s my favorite one when he guves him the magazine he’s been looking for his research.
Lol man I know that feeling when you’re looking for an old video too
Smokefest was literally lost media and this guy found it somehow...
What the fuck?
Super impressive
He connects the dots really well. I am impressed.

Ya to me it feels like he enjoys being interviewed by nardwuar (as many other celebrities do) its like they're friends
Cause of the respect Nardwar has for hip hop and every person he interviews.
An Unlikely Friendship
The rock community didn't accept him.
But the rap community embraced Nardwuar completely.
Nardwuar's the type of dude to tell you exactly where and when you lost your keys 5 years ago.
He'd give them to you during an interview
@@baggerjanus yo fr

He gets completely disarmed, it's so hilarious

It's also humbling and I always love seeing get happy and remembering the old days. It really makes me happy and love them more.
3:22 felt so bad for him. he was spitting facts and some politician just completely redirects a thoughtful question.
That’s the point, it made the guy look stupid. That phrase has been infamous for him
Did this dude _crowdsurf at a TED Talk?_
Yeah, it’s official. Nardwuar is my favorite human.
I think the brilliance of Nard's interviewing style is how much it deviates from a typical interview, allowing us to see an artist in a new light.
12:23 He just made snoop smile like a child
"Who are you?"
"R Kelly."
Best interviewer to ever exist. He makes artists feel uncomfortable and comfortable at the same time. It really is beautiful man. Absolute legend!
