The Chris Gethard Show: 15 Greatest Moments

4. Loser Is Still The New Nerd

This continuation of its first episode about a year prior ultimately expands on and improves the already stellar original idea. Distressed by the warm acceptance of "nerd culture," Gethard and the cast celebrate the qualities about themselves and their audience that make them losers. It is a warm, discussion-based topic that embraces the traits that make us outcasts. 

Joining them is Jesse Ventura, as played by comedian James Adomian. Adomian's improvisational strengths are at full force here. His character of the wrestler/former governor of Minnesota has appeared on numerous television programs such as Comedy Bang! Bang! and is always one of the best characters in his wheelhouse. The eccentric arrogance of Ventura denying any personal faults serves as a helpful counter to the audience's acceptance of their feeble characteristics. 

Additionally, with this whole episode being a wonderful celebration through and through, the inclusion of all-time-great musical guests Screaming Females puts this episode towards the top and makes it one of the best to start on.
