Narduar is my favorite example of a master interviewer. Watch him leave Pharrell speechless multiple times (starting around the 5:15 mark is a good example). This guy does his homework better than anyone.

- arielserafini 7y agoHis researching skills are indeed impressive, but I feel like he's a bit "loud" in his personality/character and that can take some attention away from the interviewee.
- skyyler 7y agoIn his interviews he really doesn't draw attention away from the interviewee. You're right about him having a strong personality but it's obvious to me that he tries very hard to never outshine the person he's interviewing.
- hanklazard 7y agoI'd say he's just eccentric, and takes a bit of getting used to in terms of style. also, IIRC, this interview got him some REALLY big ones (including Jay-Z, I think) because Pharrell told everyone he knew to that they had to talk with Nardwuar. At the very least in terms of doing proper research on a subject, I think there's no one better.
- throw0101a 7y agoIf you're not used to him, and are coming in 'cold' to watch one of his interviews, then it can be a bit distracting. After a few I think it goes into the background more.
- throw0101a 7y agoMy go-to examples of people going from skeptical to "WTF?" are Waka Flocka Flame: * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMyvB2wAXYI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rMyvB2wAXYI And A$AP Rocky * https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8IYpVF_S5M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8IYpVF_S5M He also seems to be able to 'find' people just before they really make it big/mainstream, like Kendrick Lamer, Billie Eilish, and Tyler the Creator. I heard about them from Narduar before anywhere else.
