Nardwuar | Before They Were Famous | Biography of The Greatest Interviewer

Before Nardwuar would become one of the most recognizable Canadian
interviewers thanks to a decorated thirty-plus year career that saw
his hometown of Vancouver, British Columbia name September 29th,
Nardwuar Day. Before Nardwuar would suffer through some health
scares, including a stroke in 2015 that would see some of his
big-name friends from all over the music industry wish him well.
Before Nardwuar would have over 196K followers on Twitter, 686K
followers on Instagram, and over 1.8 Million subscribers on YouTube
at the time of this recording. Let’s do a thought experiment for a
moment: imagine you’re a world-famous rapper. Pretty great, right?
Now imagine you’re a world-famous rapper being asked a series of
bizarre questions by a strange-looking dude in glasses with an
infectious grin and a tartan hat. What do you do? This might sound
like a crazy hypothetical but it’s one a ton of celebrities in the
music industry have been confronted with for over 30 years now
because Nardwuar the Human Serviette never fails to get his man or
his interview, even if they do sometimes blow up in his face.
Nardwuar is a wide-eyed Vancouver native who, after decades in the
game, is not only a Canadian-icon but globally recognized thanks to
his unique brand of unbelievably researched interviews that are
perfect to consume in the age of the internet. And while not
everyone always gets in on the joke, a whole bunch of celebrities
walks away feeling like they just had the best interview of their
life.
