    Nardwuar hasn't done many 40+min interviews like this over the years, but when he does they're usually awesome (e.g. Nard vs Questlove being my fav), and this one was no exception. ❤️Chappell...

      Never watched a video from him before. You're right, this was awesome! He seems very personable and she makes for a good interviewee of course.

        He's a Canadian icon, has been interviewing musicians (and actors) for well over 30 years now, and used to work for MuchMusic (Canadian version of MTV) way back in the day. He even interviewed Kurt Cobain and Courtney Love backstage during one of Nirvana's shows in Vancouver (Nard's home city). But he's probably most well known outside Canada for his many interviews with Snoop Dogg over the years though, since Snoop seems to genuinely respect Nard and loves all the crazy gifts Nard always brings him.

        He deep deep deep dives in prep for interviews, often mentioning shit he really shouldn't have any way of knowing about, and also brings deeply personal gifts for people. A lot of interviewees (like the aforementioned QuestLove) absolutely lose their mind when he brings up stuff or give gifts related to their past or personal lives. There are tons of compilation videos of him freaking people out in interviews (e.g.), which are always fun to watch. It's been jokingly said that he secretly takes all the musicians' moms out to dinner beforehand to get his info... but TBH, that's probably not too far from the truth since he likely does contact relatives, friends, and old classmates of the artists, since that's the only way he can know about a lot of the things he brings up in the interviews. :P
