  Nathan Fielder was a comedian who made good use of the power of awkwardness in comedy. It was a language he well understood, being a shy quiet child while growing up in the mid-'80s in a very ordinary middle-class family in Vancouver, British Columbia. His school's improv classes, where he met fellow comedian Seth Rogen, led him to stand-up comedy, although he was prudent enough to take business classes while attending the University of Victoria. His big break came in 2008 when he was invited to write and act in his own weekly segment for the classic Canadian sketch comedy show ″This Hour Has 22 Minutes″ (CBC 1992-). His episodes for the show were to become a showcase for his ideas centering on business and social awkwardness. His segments, which included business-centric themes such as

• Nathan for You - Wikipedia

  Nathan for You is an American satirical docu-reality comedy television series starring Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder. The series was created by Fielder and Michael Koman and premiered on February 28, 2013, on the American cable television network Comedy Central. The series is based upon the premise of Fielder, playing a fictionalized, off-kilter version of himself, trying to use his business background and life experiences to help struggling companies and people, frequently offering them outlandish and prohibitively expensive strategies, parodying the methods of marketing and management consultants. 27 of the show's 32 episodes follow this structure as applied to one or more businesses in the Southern California area, with five other episodes/segments departing from the business advice [...] ## Background [edit] The series centers on Nathan Fielder, a business school graduate and consultant whose aim is to help struggling businesses. His marketing proposals are often outlandish and elaborate. One of the show's long-running story arcs concerns Fielder and his social awkwardness. Throughout episodes, his confidence is eroded as his ideas fail. In the show's first season, Fielder is unaware people do not enjoy his company. The character is based on Fielder's real life and his own struggles with social anxiety; he has noted that he did not want the character to "feel like a comedy character" but one that delivers the "most authentic moments from myself." ## Production [edit] [...] ## Production [edit] Nathan for You was created by comedian Nathan Fielder and writer Michael Koman. The show evolved out of segments on the Canadian news satire series This Hour Has 22 Minutes titled "Nathan On Your Side," wherein Fielder played a consumer advocate. The show was greenlit following the cancellation of Jon Benjamin Has a Van, which Fielder also wrote and appeared in. Part of the series' inspiration came from Fielder's fascination with the subprime mortgage crisis, and how he found that it was rooted in "these personal moments between people where someone senses something's wrong, but they don't want to speak up."
