Nathan Fielder: An Exhaustive Character Study

rhgraysonii · 18h ago

Nathan Fielder is a phenomenally odd fellow who pushes the boundaries of comedy quite a lot. He also has proven himself to be a skilled (albeit atypical) 'growth hacker' and worn many other weird hats along the way. I thought that HN might find this interesting as a compiled piece of work as a whole. Steve Klabnik wrote a nice blurb that started all of this on Blue Sky as I was giving someone else my interpretation, and I took it all the way as a single page with some help from Claude.
