Documentarian John Wilson on His HBO Show “How to With John Wilson”

If HBO’s How to With John Wilson isn’t your new favorite show, that’s probably because you haven’t seen it yet. It did just start to air this fall, so there is time for you to catch up. And when you do, you will likely fall in love with the charming minimalism the program offers and the perfect, chummy look into New York City that the documentary-style series presents. You will giggle at the random people caught peeing or eating in public and you will scream in shock at what else director John Wilson finds along his way as he investigates the quirky ins-and-outs of what’s often said to be the world’s greatest city. We caught up with Wilson to ask him about the series, how his career led him to making it, how he finds his scenes, and much more. But beware, dear reader, there are some spoilers below. Thankfully HBO has already renewed How to With John Wilson for a second season.
