“Last year I had the pleasure of moderating the Doctor Who panel at Wondercon, and saw some amazing booths & people walking the show floor. At the time, I had only wished that this Con was closer to where I live in L.A. With the news that it had moved to Anaheim in 2012, I can only infer that I willed this into reality. Naturally, I’m super-excited—both for the southern migration of Wondercon and my weird new psionic power.” –Chris Hardwick.

Team Nerdist will be touching on:

The Nerdist Channel: The newest member of the Nerdist Industries family goes live on April 2nd. Shows from the brains of Harry Knowles, Neil Patrick Harris, Rob Zombie and Hardwick himself have already been announced, but Wondercon will get the first public announcement of the FULL channel line-up!  www.youtube.com/nerdist
