	CBC.ca - Arts - Alternative Canadian Walk of Fame - Inductee: Nardwuar the Human Serviette
		A Nardwuar interview could be considered just another form of guerilla journalism — Michael Moore, who calls Nardwuar “a national treasure,” is restrained in comparison — but really, it’s more like a big, sloppy hug from a relative with some kind of advanced ADD.
		Nardwuar got his start in the 1980s as a DJ at the University of British Columbia’s CITR radio and on community television, spreading the cult of the Cramps and uncorking his teen-girl enthusiasm for bands old and new.
		Though Nardwuar is now a staple on MuchMusic, he still haunts the less-travelled corridors of the media, writing for smallish Chart magazine and continuing to host a show on CITR.

	Nardwuar the Human Serviette - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Nardwuar the Human Serviette (born John Ruskin, July 5, 1968) is a Canadian celebrity interviewer and musician from Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.
		Nardwuar has also been known to be a "guerrilla journalist", often sneaking in to press conferences under the guise of a more normal reporter, to confront political leaders or other non-musical celebrities with surreal questions.
		Nardwuar has a bachelor's degree (honors) in history from the University of British Columbia and wrote his honors thesis on the Kennedy assasination.

	Part Journalist, Part Artist, All Serviette - OCTOBER 2000 \| Thunderbird Magazine
		NARDWUAR THE HUMAN Serviette, celebrity interviewer for the University of British Columbia’s CiTR radio, is describing his interview technique at a talk at the UBC School of Journalism.
		Dressed in a kilt and nautical blazer, Nardwuar delivers his entire 90-minute career overview in the high-pitched, breathless rush of words instantly familiar to fans of his radio show across the country, and to the hapless celebrities who have been cornered for his interviews.
		Instead, Love and Nardwuar seem to be improvising a kind of bizarre theatre, a King Lear and the Fool for the mid-nineties.

	Who iz Nardwuar?
		But Nardwuar is such a sweet and genuine person (and effusively polite, as well) that I know he doesn't deliberately provoke such encounters.
		And maybe Nardwuar sometimes seeks out the faded B-listers-former sitcom stars and their ilk-knowing the odds are better than even that the reaction he'll get is confrontational, but then again, that's a lot more interesting than the usual fawning idiotic celebrity coverage we're already soaking in.
		Nardwuar's a kind of litmus test for the personality lurking behind the capped-teeth smile.

		Nardwuar the Human Serviette: Doot Doola Doot Doo...
		If you're Canadian, you might know who Nardwuar the Human Serviette is. If you're from Vancouver, you definitely know who Nardwuar the Human Serviette is. If you have no freaking clue just who Nardwuar the Human Serviette is, you're in for a treat.
		Nardwuar's January, 1994 confrontation with Nirvana and Courtney Love is probably his most famous (and is sadly not on this DVD), but without a doubt his best interviews are his three with Snoop Dogg, in which the pair display impeccable timing with one another, Snoop matching Nard step for step.

		Nardwuar, the Human Serviette, then instructs everyone to all crouch on their knees and everyone complies, including the band.
		Nardwuar, the Human Serviette, then jumps onto the crowd and crowd surfs his way across the entire room, gets turned around at the door, and surfs all the way back to the front.
		Nardwuar, the Human Serviette, then runs into the crowd and instructs everyone to do the crouch and jump at the spinning crescendo of "I Am The Owl".

	Slashed Seat Affairs: Nardwuar DVD
		In the White Stripes interview (now available in Real Video, MP3 and transcribed text form on Nardwuar's almost unnecessarily well-designed website), the "Human Serviette" wore a voluminous stars and stripes windbreaker, and opened proceedings by unveiling a gigantic poster of the Stripes' fellow Detroiter, Bob Seger, as depicted on his Stranger in Town album cover.
		Somehow, it's both depressing and inspiring; depressing because, for much of the five hours he waits, Nardwuar seems likely to get the cold shoulder, and inspiring because he not only secures the interview, but his persistence and unflappable enthusiasm as he tries is, frankly, infectious.
		The fruits of Nardwuar's considerable efforts, with Snoop Dogg and others,n can be viewed extensively on both Nard Wars I, the original MuchMusic special, and on the disc two special features, some three hours of unedited footage entitled Nard Raw.

		Nardwuar the Human Serviette has got that geek mojo working.
		Nardwuar's the 29-year-old West Vancouver guy who got Jean Chretien to make that goofy remark at the APEC conference about putting pepper on his plate.
		It was during a press question and answer session that he asked what the prime minister's thoughts might be regarding the liberal use of pepper spray by crowd-controlling police at the summit.

	Mote MGZN - film reviews - Nardwuar the Human Serviette
		Nardwuar continues his on-air work for CITR and also works for Canada’s music network, MuchMusic and plays in a variety of bands.
		It is easy to dismiss Nardwuar as a goof due to his obscene fashion sense and somewhat off-the-wall fill-in-the-blank questioning technique, but it becomes clear throughout the DVD just how passionate Nardwuar is about music journalism and music in general.
		Nardwuar is a true music geek and, as filmmaker Michael Moore suggested, “A National Treasure”.

		Nardwuar the Human Serviette is, however, feeling much better now.
		One of the most magical things about Nardwuar is that, even after you've spent time with him, it's difficult to determine where Nardwuar begins and the guy who was once student-council president at Hillside Secondary School ends.

	Review: Nardwuar The Human Serviette: Welcome To My Castle DVD Review - Film Junk
		Nardwuar was flying in the face of the establishment, and the fact that so many people found him obnoxious only made him more lovable.
		Nardwuar is clearly a fan of many of them, and isn’t necessarily there with the sole purpose of harassing them, making for somewhat insightful (if rather chaotic) interviews.
		The interview that Nardwuar scored with Nirvana in 1994 is crazy because of the fact that they were quite literally the biggest band in the world at that time, and here they were, chatting with this oddball Canadian guy whose only credentials were that he hosted a college radio show.

	Nardwuar the Human Serviette - Almost Famous
		To some, Nardwuar the Human Serviette (born John Ruskin) is the greatest pop culture historian in North America, with an intense attention to detail and arcane knowledge that shames the research skills of more respectable journalists.
		Nardwuar starts at Hillside Secondary School, where “kids would throw matches at my hair trying to light it on fire, because it was so greasy.” By the end of the year, he runs for student council and wins.
		Nardwuar breaks a huge Canadian story after protesters demonstrating at the APEC summit are attacked by Mounties with pepper spray.

		It you have ever witnessed Nardwuar's antics on Much Music (who can forget his infamous interviews with Snoop Dogg) then you already have a good idea what he's like; however, live and in concert, he doesn't have to worry about the restraints of network censorship.
		Nardwuar does not believe in dwelling on the negative for any great length of time.

		Welcome to my Castle is a collection of 2 of Nardwuar's television specials that aired in the early 1990's along with a pile of bonus Evaporators footage.
		In the early 1990s Nardwuar was still sharpening his act, asking Sonic Youth about the Sonics, hanging out at Canadian media mogul Jimmy Pattison's compound, chatting with Pierre Berton about how he smokes pot with his kids, and pestering 1990s self-help charlatans like Tom Vu, Ernest Angley, and Anthony Robbins.
		Alongside any other Canadian music journalist or TV personality, Nardwuar stands out not only for his eccentricity but also for the depth of his knowledge and his ability to shock his audience and subjects by playing the idiot savant.

		NARDWUAR THE HUMAN SERVIETTE: WELCOME TO MY CASTLE starts off with a scene that is redundantly titular: Nardwuar, the Human Serviette playing the song “Welcome to My Castle” with his band the Evaporators.
		Nardwuar is constantly friendly, but he seems to go easier on celebrities that he likes or those that go along with the obvious joke.
		You probably won’t mind when Nardwuar annoys someone you’ve never heard of, but it can be painful to see the displeasure on the face of a musician or politician you respect as they try to find a polite way to escape him.
