Nathan For You

was thinking yesterday that a bar rescue type show with a MacGruber-esque host would be really good. then I remembered that Nathan For You is that show.

tivo alert: comedy central are rerunning the last two part ep this sunday and monday am

not Melinda, Frances

the dude's Bill Gates impression is solid

Some dude is doing Nathan For You stuff for real, except Nathan For You was already real, and this is also an intentional comedy, so I guess it's just cruelty-free Nathan For You.

also comedy-free

yeah i dunno if it's possible to do nathan for you schtick without being cruel.

Watching a terrible knockoff is useful in appreciating all the subtle things Nathan's show does so well. Apart from the absurdism, the awkward tension and editing that makes it so hilarious is there even in brief clips.

definitely. i was watching the Smokers Allowed episode last night, and really appreciated one of the edits from the audition/casting scenes where the actor was kept walking toward the door even as nathan was telling him he got the part

Nathan Fielder's show is going to be studied in business schools seriously within 10 years

for the conspiracy theorists out there: adult swim recently rescreened the final two part episode for (what I believe is) the first time since it originally aired. It was on at 3am on Saturday and Sunday. The entire endgame sequence, starting from the moment Nathan and Bill drive to Francis' house up until the scene where Bill gives Nathan the serving dish, was missing. That means the phone call in the car to Francis was cut. Wondering if this wasn't necessitated by a lawsuit and if the unexpurgated version is likely to be shown on television ever again.

I thought things were dirty last time, but this time it's...filthy

Wow, thank you https://t.co/3KvfwUgUSO

Nathan Fielder has signed a one year overall deal at HBO, Variety has learned exclusively.

I think he said NFY was basically over in an interview

I remember something about how S3 & S4 struggled a bit with finding people who didn't recognize what kind of show it was - he's not exactly a household name but the show's popularity sorta worked against it. plus it was apparently a very difficult show to film, because you couldn't go out of order and you just had so much footage

I'll miss it but I'm excited for whatever's next, hopefully it won't be as uncomfortable to watch

why deny him his strongest comedic asset?

more awkwardness, please

I imagine it was quite taxing to produce; intrigued to see what he has coming up.

it is so weird watching him try to act

Meet your new TV-comedy dream team: Nathan Fielder and the Safdie brothers. According to Deadline, the former Nathan for You star and Uncut Gems directors have a new TV project in the works at Showtime, and it sounds very promising. Titled The Curse, the half-hour comedy pilot is about “how an alleged curse disturbs the relationship of a newly married couple who star in Flipanthropy, their troubled HGTV show.” Fielder will star as the husband, while Benny Safdie will play the producer of the HGTV show. Fielder is credited with writing the pilot, while the Safdie brothers will direct and executive produce.

Starts tomorrow!

looks fascinating, definitely planning to watch (if i remember)

Finally, a show about New York, the quirky little city that could.

that looks awesome

Def. intriguing!

I'm gonna throw some money down for this because I have complete faith in Nathan's comedy instincts and he has yet to disappoint

psyched for this

I worked on this! It's a culmination of my friend John's ambition of 10+ years and is amazing. Can't wait for everyone to tune in.

Awesome, congratulations! Always looking for something good to watch with my wife.

Yes
