Journalist, Musician
Nardwuar the Human Serviette (born John Andrew Vernon Ruskin) is a Canadian journalist and musician, best known for his eccentric persona and his highly researched interviews with musicians, celebrities, and politicians.
He is famous for his signature style of asking extremely detailed and often obscure questions, frequently surprising his interviewees with his encyclopedic knowledge of their past, sometimes even presenting them with rare gifts or forgotten items related to their career. His interviews often feature his distinctive appearance, including a tam o' shanter hat, and always end with his catchphrase, "Keep on rockin' in the free world," and the "doot doola doot doo..." call-and-response.
In addition to his journalism, he is the lead singer and keyboardist for the Vancouver-based garage rock band, The Evaporators. His interviews are widely popular on his YouTube channel, NardwuarServiette.
