HBO Orders New Series From Comedian Nathan Fielder

His name is Nathan Fielder, and he graduated from one of Canada’s top business schools with really good grades. The comedian who made a name for himself with Comedy Central’s Nathan For You has a new series that was just ordered by HBO called The Rehearsal.

Fielder is the only person cast for the upcoming half-hour show, according to Variety. The Rehearsal will feature Fielder guiding people’s lives: “In a world where nothing seems to ever work out as you had hoped, Nathan Fielder gives people the opportunity to rehearse for their own lives,” reads the official description.

Prior to this, Fielder’s Nathan For You ran for four seasons on Comedy Central. The series featured Fielder helping out struggling business with some out-of-the-box thinking. Once, he marketed an unappealing toy for children in a way that stated owning it would be the only way to prove you’re not a baby. He also attempted to help out cab drivers losing rides to Uber by planting sleeper cell drivers within Uber.

More recently, Fielder was the executive producer of the wildly entertaining How To With John Wilson, which aired on HBO Max late last year. The titular Wilson would give advice on topics like making small talk and cooking risotto–the latter was one of GameSpot’s favorite TV episodes of 2020.

As an actor, Fielder has appeared in numerous episodes of the sketch comedy series Kroll Show, HBO’s Tour de Pharmacy, and the movie The Disaster Artist. Fielder was also a writer on the Canadian sketch comedy series This Hour Has 22 Minutes.
