Hey Everyone, Guess What? ‘Nathan For You’ Is Returning

It’s been two years since “Nathan For You” aired its third season and most of us had given up hope that we would ever again get to watch hapless, well-intentioned entrepreneurs be duped out of a bright future by a man with a fake business degree and a sadistic sense of humor.

But today, Nathan Fielder restored that hope in a single tweet.

It’s pretty bewildering to know there are still business owners out there who haven’t been warned of a man called Nathan whose sole ambition is to destroy small businesses. Perhaps this was the reason for the two-year mysterious break. He was waiting just long enough for people to forget about him before re-entering our lives with a vengeance.

As a person with no intention of ever “creating jobs,” I’m personally thrilled about this news but I can’t imagine it won’t send cold chills up the backbones of people with Etsy shops.

If, like me, you’re anxious for September 28 to get here, bide your time with one of the true hits from last season.

This is a moment of great uncertainty. Here’s what you can do about it.

We hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, we’d like to ask you to please support the Forward’s independent Jewish news this Passover.

This is a moment of great uncertainty for the news media, for the Jewish people, and for our sacred democracy. It is a time of confusion and declining trust in public institutions. An era in which we need humans to report facts, conduct investigations that hold power to account, tell stories that matter and share honest discourse on all that divides us.

With no paywall or subscriptions, the Forward is entirely supported by readers like you. Every dollar you give this Passover is invested in the future of the Forward — and telling the American Jewish story fully and fairly.

The Forward doesn’t rely on funding from institutions like governments or your local Jewish federation. There are thousands of readers like you who give us $18 or $36 or $100 each month or year.

Support our mission to tell the Jewish story fully and fairly.
