It’s no surprise to anyone who knows me (online and off) that I’m obsessed with everything Nerdist. You can read a little bit of that obsession over on my personal blog here and here and here.
So when the amazing @JennHoffman told me about the Nerdist Christmas Eve special for BBC America that was taping on Sunday mere minutes after it was announced, you know I was all HELLLS YES!
I emailed the main Nerdist account to see if we could get an interview with the man behind it all, Chris Hardwick for girlsIRL as well as this lovely site. Unfourtunately he was swamped but he got me in contact with the producer of the show to ensure we got tickets. Uh ya, he’s pretty awesome.
Sunday rolls around and I feel like a kid on Christmas. I met Jenn in a waiting room before the show and mid-conversation we got interrupted by a BBC America camera crew wanting to get behind the scenes interviews.
They asked me why I was there and what makes me a nerd. Super fun to do and while I was interviewing the surprise guest (like I said…no spoilers!) accidentally walked into the room and was right behind me. The nerds went nuts haha. I also gave a HUGE shoutout to TNTML and the camera dudes LOVED the name. They asked me about it TWICE!
After Jenn finished up her interview it was time to go into the studio and we ended up front row! Woot.
The second Chris walked out I nerded out quite a bit. Next came Matt and Jonah (the other voices on the Nerdist Podcast) and then mother effin WIL WHEATON and NATHON FILLION.
I think my nerd brain was going to explode. I’m obsessed with what Wil has done for the nerd community and also everything FireFly/Serenity so having the two of them mere feet away was insane!
The show was absolutely amazing. Everyone was hysterical and not to mention so freaking sweet between shots. It was a teeny tiny room so people would shout out questions when they weren’t filming and the guys would happily answer them.
Part of the reason why I love the podcast so much is because it feels like you are just hanging out with your friends and they brought that same EXACT feeling to the taping.
When the taping was done Chris gave me one of the cards they had on set (as pictured above) and emailed me about setting up an interview with him later in the month!
That’s it..I can die happy AND cross something off my life list!
Make sure you tune in on Christmas Eve on BBC America after Doctor Who because you just may see some shots of me and Jenn…oh and because it is amazing! haha
