Narrated by Chris Hardwick. Nerds: Once a tormented subrace of humans…now captains of industry! You don't have to be a stereotypical geekwad to appreciate the tenets of Nerdism and to make your innate talents for overanalysis and hyper-self-awareness work for you instead of against you.

Nerds subsist The Nerdist Way: How to Reach the Next Level (in Real Life) the minutiae of their chosen passions. He's studied them, lived with them, and has endeavored to milk their knowledge nectar and isolate its curative powers for what ails you. Thus, he has founded a philosophical system and blog called The Nerdist, and here he shares his hard-earned wisdom about turning seeming weaknesses into world-dominating strengths. From keeping your heart rate below hummingbird levels to managing the avalanche of sadness that is your inbox, from ignoring your brain to attracting wealth by turning down work, Hardwick reveals the secrets that can help you accomplish what you want by tapping into your true nerdtastic self. The Nerdist Way shows how to focus your mind, body, and time into an unstoppable laser of goodness. Don't wait for another social tragedy.

Antitrust Case that opened on July 23, 2015 against Sky U.K. and six American studios—Disney, Fox, NBCUniversal, Paramount Pictures, Sony and Warner Brothers—has its structural roots in the Television Without Frontiers Directive, which was vigorously debated as a last-minute standoff that threatened to derail the conclusion of the GATT Uruguay Round of trade negotiations and is still considered to be the cornerstone of the European Union’s audiovisual policy.

  • Chris Hardwick Expanding His Late-Night Talk Franchise on AMC
    Chris Hardwick Expanding His Late-Night Talk Franchise on AMC 03.01.2017 AMC is expanding its original after-show franchise, Talking Dead, into a weekly late-night talk show also hosted by Chris Hardwick. Talking Dead airs after every new episode of The Walking Dead and spin-off Fear the Walking Dead. Both series air in split seasons through the year so one or the other is often in season. When they are not, however, AMC will air Talking with Chris Hardwick on Sundays at 11 p.m. ET/PT. "Chris Hardwick is just the ultimate fan guide, advocate and conversationalist. He took our desire to serve the fans of The Walking Dead with an hour of discussion and analysis following each new episode and turned it into the number-one talk show on television, and a model that has been widely emulated but never quite duplicated, because Chris is the key," said Joel Stillerman, president of original programming and development for AMC and SundanceTV, in a statement "Talking will have the skin of Talking Dead, the soul of the Nerdist podcast and the guts of a Comic-Con panel," said Hardwick. "I have loved learning how to do a talk show these last six years on Talking Dead, but am eager to expand the format into other areas of pop culture." Hardwick is a multi-talented performer who has done everything from being a radio deejay on Los Angeles' KROQ, to starring as Stacie Jaxx in the original production of Rock of Ages to launching his own media company, Nerdist Industries, which included his podcast, The Nerdist.

  • Each Week on AMC's Live After-Show Talking Dead, Host Chris Hardwick
    Each week on AMC’s live after-show Talking Dead, host Chris Hardwick brings together a rotating series of guests -- showrunners, cast members and celebrities fans -- to dig into that night’s episode of The Walking Dead and Fear the Walking Dead. Viewers at home also join in the collective discussion via a variety of different platforms and digital portals, including TalkingDead.com and the Play Dead App. This combination of real-time engagement, both on- air and online, has not only made Talking Dead the No. 1 live talk show in the country, it’s also created one the most interactive experiences on television. In the last year, nearly 90 million viewers have tuned in to Talking Dead to join Hardwick and his guests’ lively discussions each week, with approximately 7.1 million fans visiting TalkingDead.com for a variety of ways to participate in the conversation. On the fully- responsive site, fans can submit questions in the Talking Dead Talk forum or post of video of themselves, which may be played on-air during the show. Users can also click through to post questions on AMC’s official Twitter and Facebook pages for Talking Dead. Another key way the audience participates in Talking Dead’s action is with its real-time interactive experience, Play Dead. Play Dead is a free web app that is extremely easy to use, requires no sign up and is accessible on all computers and mobile devices. The app allows viewers to participate from their couch in snap polls and quizzes and see their results instantaneously on Talking Dead.
