Morris Cordewell, known as Subway Oracle, has become a viral sensation on social media for his comedic videos filmed in New York's subway stations. His unique style consists of engaging random commuters with bizarre, often absurd questions, capturing the chaotic spirit of the subway environment. In a recent interview, Cordewell shared insights on the origins of Subway Oracle, including his collaboration with co-producers Drew and David. He expresses his mix of excitement and anxiety while filming, especially when encountering fans. His NYC background influences his work, as he draws inspiration from earlier subway prank videos.
I started by doing prank videos online. Then me, Drew and David made Subway Oracle, inspired by a segment from a longer show they had.
I do get nervous, especially in big crowds. Sometimes people recognize me on the side and take pictures while I'm filming a video, and that makes me nervous.
As a native New Yorker, I used to watch videos of pranks that were done on the subway. I didn’t even take the train like that.”
