"Nathan Fielder finds the laughs by tapping his most awkward, clueless self"

"His docu-reality comedy series that features Fielder as a version of himself who helps real-life small-business owners improve their fortunes is starting to rock TV's boat...

"I was really obsessed when the mortgage crisis happened and how it came down to these personal moments between people where someone senses something's wrong, but they don't want to speak up," said Fielder.

His character on the show focuses more on the specious legality of some business dealings, which Fielder describes as, "For Nathan on the show, ethics are not on my radar as much. Risk and effort don't seem to register and it's inspired by that modern Wall Street mindset of finding loopholes...

"It's chasing this elusive thing. It's like watching a good documentary," he said. "There are moments so human and weird that they make you laugh, even though it's not a joke. Those are the moments I'm always hoping to find.""
