  • Adored by the Network: During the early 2010s, Chris Hardwick basically ran the nerd/geek wing of BBC America. With the success of Doctor Who, the channel shamelessly throwing money at him in order to court the nerd demographic. And considering the amount of access to Matt Smith and co. Hardwick got, the regular BBC must've liked him quite a bit too.
  • Creator Backlash: Chris is often mocked for the MTV dating shows that he used to host. He's not terribly proud of them himself.
  • Series Hiatus: The last episode to be released before Chris was accused by a former girlfriend of sexual and emotional abuse was an interview with the cast of Cobra Kai, which was uploaded on June 13, 2018. There was roughly a five-month hiatus after that. New episodes didn't show up again until November 16, with an interview with Jamie Lee Curtis.
