Nardwuar: An Oral History
CANADALAND
Breaking into MuchMusic and TV
Producers recount struggles to fit Nardwuar into mainstream TV and how his uncompromising style eventually worked on MuchMusic.
Nardwuar the Human Serviette is one of the biggest media personalities to come out of Canada. He’s a prolific interviewer with a knack for shocking his guests by bringing up little-known personal details about their lives during interviews. He’s an absurd figure beloved by hip hop stars. He’s a punk from Vancouver who has 100s of millions of views on YouTube but still does his weekly community radio show. This is his story as told by the people who know him best.
