One of the best, mind bending, thought provoking and down right hilarious things on TV for quite some time.

The Wizard of Loneliness

Warning: Spoilers
Nathan wants a private investigator to earn his first 5-star Yelp review by tracking down Nathan. He hires nine lookalikes to throw off the investigator. He attempts to swap lives with the one who looks most him. Nathan gives up and gives him a 4-star review.

Nathan has a taxi company make a conversation option to allow customers to talk about topics during their ride. He makes the driver read up on topics so he can inform the customer if he needs to. Nathan is upset when he finds out the driver didn't do his research, but he gives him a pep talk and he does well.

Nathan sets up a blind date for one of his behind the scenes workers, Solomon. For the show, he has to sponsor Quiznos by using product placement during the date. He gets a girl from his dating show, The Hunk, to meet Solomon at Quiznos. During their awkward date, Nathan sits with a Quiznos marketing representative, giving Nathan lines to relay to Solomon.

The finale of Season 1 has two great segments, the private investigator and the Quiznos date. Nathan is blown off by the private investigator, who lies to him about being busy when Nathan asks him to hang out. It happens again when he hires another private investigator to track the private investigator, proving he lied to his face. Nathan remembers all the times throughout the season when he tries to make friends, but gets rejected. The private investigator calls him The Wizard of Loneliness because he has no friends.
