In honor of the release of his new HBO Max show, The Rehearsal, this video is a celebration of Nathan Fielder's entire body of work. Join us as we take a deep dive into Nathan For You, How to with John Wilson, This Hour has 22 Minutes, and Nathan Fielder's numerous short films and videos. We also discuss the first two episodes of The Rehearsal in limited detail. Part 2 will be released soon and will focus exclusively on digging deep into The Rehearsal.
This discussion explores whether or not Nathan Fielder is acting, his screen persona, the evolution of his style, the way his work pushes the medium forward, the moral and ethical side of his brand of comedy, and much more.
*Note - the original version of this video used fair use clips from Nathan For You and The Rehearsal to provide context to the discussion, but Viacom blocked that video worldwide, ignoring fair use copyright law as YouTube routinely allows people to do.
