Nathan Joseph Fielder was born on May 12, 1983, in Vancouver, and has turned awkward, deadpan comedy into an art form, according to Wikipedia. At Point Grey Secondary School he was in the improv group with Seth Rogen.
He earned a Bachelor of Commerce from the University of Victoria in 2005, a background that shaped his later work, and in 2006 he enrolled in Humber College's comedy program in Toronto. He became a correspondent for CBC's This Hour Has 22 Minutes, with his own segment, Nathan on Your Side (2008-2009), and wrote for and appeared on Important Things with Demetri Martin (2011).
He co-created, directed and starred in Comedy Central's Nathan for You (2013-2017), playing a more awkward version of himself who gives struggling businesses odd advice. He executive produced HBO's How To with John Wilson (2020-2023) and created HBO's The Rehearsal (2022-present). Its second season, about aviation safety, aired in 2025, and in February 2025 he became an FAA-certified Boeing 737 commercial pilot. With Benny Safdie he created The Curse (2023-2024), co-starring Emma Stone.
He has won an Independent Spirit Award and a WGA Award and earned three Primetime Emmy nominations. Time put him on its 2023 Time 100 list. He also runs Summit Ice Apparel, a Holocaust-awareness clothing brand.
His first feature, co-directed with Lance Oppenheim, is the A24 documentary You Can See Everything (2026), about Elizabeth Holmes. It premiered in a surprise screening at Telluride on September 6, 2026. Read how the Holmes doc stunned with $15 million as Noah Centineo's Street Fighter opened at No. 1.
