Nathan Fielder moves to HBO for next TV projects

Nathan Fielder, whose writing team won this year at the WGA Awards for comedy/variety sketch series for the final season of Comedy Central’s Nathan For You, is heading to HBO.

Fielder’s HBO deal includes starring in an upcoming comedy pilot, as well as executive producing an upcoming series, How To…With John Wilson.

How To…With John Wilson is a half-hour, first person series hosted by Wilson as both cameraman and narrator, documenting the lives and careers of New Yorkers. You can see some of Wilson’s previous “How To…” short films online.

Not much is known or announced for Fielder’s pilot. In the meantime, though, you can watch him sincerely surprised to win at the WGA Awards earlier this year.
