It’s been nearly a decade since Nathan Fielder, prank comedian and graduate “from one of Canada’s top business schools with really good grades,” revolutionized reality TV with Comedy Central’s “Nathan for You.”
Back in the pop culture conversation thanks to Fielder’s triumphant return in HBO’s “The Rehearsal,” the cult favorite comedy series documented four seasons of Fielder’s — let’s say — unique efforts to help small business owners pull in customers from 2013 to 2017.
Akin to a deranged “Kitchen Nightmares,” each episode of “Nathan for You” chronicles the progress of one or more of Fielder’s outlandish ideas from ludicrous inception to amused/baffled/livid reception. Discount mall Santa photos in July, a hot dog stand prioritizing customers by the importance of where they’re going, poop-flavored frozen yogurt: These are just a handful of the more understated ideas Fielder brings to his (un)lucky participants across 32 “Nathan for You” episodes.
