Chris Hardwick at the “Doctor Who” New York Premiere

Posted on August 15, 2014

Here are the pros and cons on Chris Hardwick. On one hand, we think it’s really admirable how he’s carved out a niche for himself as America’s Number One Nerd. And while we don’t particularly love “after” shows, there’s a certain likably frenetic quality to his that make it feel like, well, a bunch of nerds sitting around geeking out over something they think is awesome, whether it’s The Walking Dead or Doctor Who. He’s not fronting. He’s a real nerd with the bona fides to go with it and he’s managed to craft a fairly successful celebrity career out of that. On the other hand…

He tends to give the impression sometimes that he thinks it’s all about him. This isn’t Comic-Con, Chris. It’s a TV show premiere event. And guess what? You’re not the star of the show. We get that he’s probably genuinely excited, but he could stand to dial it back just a bit when it’s not about him. Style-wise, we have to give him further kudos, because he’s found a look that works very well for him and he’s learned to be very consistent with it. He’s worn some variation on this hipster nerd look a thousand times before. The boots are a bit much, but everything else works fine. He just needs to shave and allow someone to put some matte powder on him before he steps out for pictures.
