How To with John Wilson is an American television comedy docuseries created by filmmaker John Wilson. The series, executive produced by Nathan Fielder, Michael Koman and Clark Reinking, was ordered by HBO. It premiered on October 23, 2020.

On December 9, 2020, HBO renewed the series for a second season, which premiered on November 26, 2021. In February 2022, the series was renewed for a third season. In May 2023, HBO announced it would premiere on July 28 and be the final season. Wilson said he had decided it would be the last one.

John Wilson attempts to give advice while dealing with his own personal issues. The 25-minute episodes, framed as tutorials and filmed mainly on the streets of New York City, cover topics from small talk to scaffolding.

Each episode is narrated in a second-person perspective, and features numerous shots edited together from hours of B-roll. There is often a road trip, convention or memoir component.

While each episode initially focuses on its title topic, in the course of his investigation, Wilson meets people and strikes up conversations that lead in unpredictable and diverse directions. For example, the episode "How to Improve Your Memory" ends up featuring a conference on the Mandela effect in Ketchum, Idaho.

Wilson explained to Variety his process of making the show:

I try to draft very rough scripts of what might happen in an episode, and then we give it to production and put a plan in action to shoot it—and every single script is rewritten from the ground up by the time we're done in the edit. So much of the rewriting has to happen in the edit, because we're now writing to these shots that we never could have predicted that we would have, and they're always so much better than the stuff that we roughly conceived.

Works that inspired Wilson include the documentaries The Social Life of Small Urban Spaces (1980) by William H. Whyte and The Decline of Western Civilization Part II: The Metal Years (1988).
