      VANCOUVER — Offbeat celebrity interviewer Nardwuar the Human Serviette is recovering from a stroke in Vancouver.
      The humorous TV personality and musician, whose real name is John Ruskin, has the news posted on his Twitter account.

      It also says he's recovering at Vancouver General Hospital.
