While visiting NYC for a business trip, comedian Nate Bargatze stops by Late Night w/ Seth Meyers to discuss getting ready to host Saturday Night Live, performing a stand-up show after taking Benadryl and his friends and family pitching him sketch ideas for SNL.
In 2021, he released his highly anticipated second Netflix special, The Greatest Average American, which received a Grammy nomination for Best Comedy Album. In 2020, the comedian released his weekly podcast, Nateland. Nateland tackles the meaningless issues that we face day to day to give listeners a much-needed mental break from fighting the good fight. New episodes release Wednesdays, with video available on Bargatze’s YouTube channel and audio available everywhere you get podcasts. Bargatze’s comedy is both clean and relatable, evident in his 11 appearances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. He also appeared on Conan four times, was a recurring guest on @midnight, and had his own Comedy Central Presents in 2011. Off-screen, Bargatze was part of “Jimmy Fallon’s Clean-Cut Comedy Tour,” and has performed live shows for the troops in Iraq and Kuwait five times.
In addition to touring the country as a headliner, Nate toured arenas with Chris Rock on his 2017 “Total Blackout” tour. He regularly performs at Bonnaroo, SXSW, Oddball Comedy Festival, Sasquatch, Clusterfest, and the Just For Laughs Montreal Comedy Festival, where he’s received critical acclaim multiple years in a row. Nate was featured as one of Esquire’s “Best New Comedians” by Jim Gaffigan, one of Marc Maron’s “Comedians to Watch” in Rolling Stone, one of Variety’s “10 Comics to Watch” for 2015, and as No. #1 on Vulture’s “50 Comedians You Should Know” in 2015. Bargatze is currently on his “The Be Funny Tour” with all-new material.
Late Night w/ Seth Meyers: With his signature monologue and sharp newsy segments like “A Closer Look,” Seth Meyers hilariously breaks down the day’s biggest stories and takes the current political circus head-on. He then welcomes Hollywood’s most beloved A-list guests, as well as people not seen anywhere else in late night, like political figures and other interesting newsmakers. With fan-favorite comedy segments that become viral sensations, and the talented 8G band at his side, Seth consistently brings home the last laugh.
