Kinda wild that I'm unfamiliar with Nathan Fielder's body of work.
Fix you
Yeah, I think some familiarity with at least some Nathan Fielder is necessary to be culturally literate at this moment. He's kind of a big deal
I think he’s more niche. He’s not exactly playing in Peoria

Watched a few episodes. I respect this man's dedication to a bit, but I hope that no one get hurt. So far so good, but y'all's comments in this thread make me want to tread lightly.
The bit where he interviewed using prompts from a 7-year old had me laughing, as did the time he made a pig go viral for "rescuing" a goat.

I could be wrong, but I believe he was also named People Magazine's Sexiest Man Alive?

He can go too far. Season 1 of The Rehearsal is probably the most crystallized version of his schtick before he started breaking out of it the last couple projects, and I've always found it to be fairly cruel-hearted

Possibly. But I’d still put you and I ahead of him.

Wow.. okay. I just watched the handcuff/pantsing robot episode and I feel I've crossed a Nathan threshold.

I've gotta think he would have shouted out to the police or the judge or someone to hit that button if he ran out of time. There's no way he would have gone through with it if he failed, right?
Him skyping his parents beforehand was priceless. His mom's reaction. Holy shit.

When I was trying to get a friend into the show, this was the episode that won him over. Even just describing the premise of it makes you laugh
