Nathan Fielder deserves a Nobel Prize for Nathan For You

As Neil Genzlinger points out, “The television series with the most incisive take on the 21st-century economy returns for its third season on Thursday night, but it’s not from Bloomberg or CNBC. Look for it on Comedy Central. It’s called Nathan for You, and if its star, a Canadian comic named Nathan Fielder, wasn’t shortlisted for the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economic Science, he should have been. That prize just went to Angus Deaton of Princeton for improving the way some economic indicators are measured, but it could have gone to Mr. Fielder for illuminating the relationship between the economy and absurdity.” PLUS: Nathan For You is so dumb that it’s actually brilliant, SNL’s Kyle Mooney interviews Fielder, and here are Nathan For You’s best marketing stunts.
