Nathan for You is an American satirical docu-reality comedy television series starring Canadian comedian Nathan Fielder. The series was created by Fielder and Michael Koman and premiered on February 28, 2013, on the American cable television network Comedy Central.[2] The series is based upon the premise of Fielder, playing a fictionalized, off-kilter version of himself, trying to use his business background and life experiences to help struggling companies and people, frequently offering them outlandish and prohibitively expensive strategies, parodying the methods of marketing and management consultants.[3] Twenty-seven of the show's 32 episodes follow this structure as applied to one or more businesses in the Southern California area, with five other episodes/segments ("The Claw of Shame", "The Hunk", "The Hero", "Fun", "A Celebration", "The Anecdote", and "Finding Frances") departing from the business advice format to showcase other comedic premises.

The series ran for four seasons. In October 2018, Comedy Central confirmed that Nathan for You had ended, with Fielder deciding to focus on other projects.[4] It received acclaim from critics, several of whom considered it one of the best TV shows of the 2010s.
