He’s the Greatest Interviewer of Our Generation. I Tried to Beat Him at His Own Game.

Nardwuar , 56 , is best known as a coronating stop for young rappers on the upswing of their careers.

He has maintained his character— a bubbly, chatty, eternally optimistic figure who perhaps knows a little bit too much—throughout the entirety of his career.

Lil Uzi Vert went so far as to sample his interview with him in a song.

He is the front man of the Evaporators , a punk-rock institution from Vancouver .

Nardwuar has been doing his show since he started on CiTR .

Pharrell Williams set up an interview with Jay-Z on I Am Other.

He says he's a writer and a producer, so I know how much work goes into one interview.

He's not a political person at all, but he loves doing Hip Flip with Canadian politicians.

Nardwuar says he's a fan of Huntsman, Huntsman cheese.

He says his band Evaporators have a song called “ Crispy Space Bacon ” He says he’s been more into salads because cheese isn’t so good for your arteries.
