Last but not least: The Canadian element of surprise

When a journalist gets the chance to chat for a few minutes with a big-name star like Marilyn Manson, Pharrell Williams, or Snoop Dogg, they’re usually expected to act with the utmost seriousness. Canadian host Nardwuar the Human Serviette, however, shows no mercy.

As a journalist, if you get the opportunity to chat for a few minutes with a high-profile star such as Marilyn Manson, Pharrell Williams or Snoop Dogg, you should normally try to behave with the utmost seriousness. After all, you don't want to waste precious interview time or risk the star suddenly cutting the conversation short. So don't make too much of a fuss, don't make a fuss, don't upset the hierarchy between the star and the questioner. Canadian presenter Nardwuar the human serviette, however, knows no mercy: with a high, annoying voice and a strangely nerdy look, he pounces on his world-famous interview partners with an inane "who are you?". Everyone should first introduce themselves to the Canadian with the tartan cap, the big glasses and the infantile demeanor. And then, when some, such as Blur drummer Dave Rowntree, have long since lost their temper with the exchange of trivialities, the journalist from Vancouver suddenly pulls the aces out of his sleeve. He then pulls things out of his old briefcase that are closely linked to the artists' life stories: Pharrell Williams, for example, is first handed the original pressing of his first record, then a book about skateboarding and finally a child's doll and can't keep his mouth shut in amazement. At the latest then they tell the human napkin everything it wants to know. Very entertaining.
