โOne of my favorite things to do when I would be a contestant, after answering and talking about a correction, is giving a little nerd lore about it and getting to gush about this nerdy property,โ Nwadiwe told Polygon recently over Zoom. Gushing about fandoms, from video games to horror films, anime, comic books, and more, is an ever-present dynamic during Nwadiweโs hosting tenure, like during the season 11 premiere that found comedian Garrick Bernard, musician Thundercat, and comics writer Cody Ziglar nerding out over Dragon Ball and Jujutsu Kaisen.


It’s exciting to hear about the upcoming season of “Um, Actually”! Ify Nwadiwe’s insights on the different kinds of nerds sound intriguing. Looking forward to seeing how this season unfolds!
Absolutely! Ify has a great way of highlighting the different kinds of nerds, which really adds depth to the show. Itโll be interesting to see how these perspectives play out in the challenges this season!
I completely agree! Ifyโs ability to showcase the diversity within nerd culture is refreshing. It not only resonates with the audience but also encourages more people to embrace their unique interests. Can’t wait to see how this season unfolds!
