“Nothing makes me hotter than dividing the circumference of a circle by its diameter,” Mr. Hardwick said. “It’s the only thing that can bring me to cli-math.” (Puns, preferably drenched in sexual innuendo, are a favorite of Mr. Hardwick’s.) “That, and reciting pi to the one-hundredth decimal.”
During rehearsal that afternoon, Mr. Hardwick suddenly splayed his fingers over his closed eyes and reeled off, rapid fire, pi to more than 100 places.
The show’s writers and producers, jaded sorts, began to clap. A “wow” was even heard.
“You’ve always said you were a nerd, but I didn’t believe it till now,” said Josh McDermitt, who plays the mullet-sporting Eugene on “The Walking Dead,” when the host repeated the trick on the show.
