Nate Bargatze on Saturday Night Live, New Book Big Dumb Eyes' and Clean Standup Comedy
Briefly

Nate Bargatze, a 46-year-old comedian from Tennessee, became the top-selling comedian last year, outpacing notable stars like Jerry Seinfeld and Dave Chappelle with over a million tickets sold and $80 million in earnings. Known for his clean, family-friendly comedy, Bargatze garnered acclaim by hosting Saturday Night Live twice and releasing his third Netflix special. He also prepares for various Hollywood projects, including his first film where he stars as the lead. Following 20 years of hard work, his engaging everyman style resonates deeply with audiences.
He's a clean comic—no swearing, sex, drugs, or rock 'n' roll. Politics is off-limits... His most famous joke is about ordering iced coffee with milk at Starbucks.
In sold-out arenas, where his shows consistently smash attendance records, he takes the stage almost as if by accident—like he's surprised so many people are there to see him.
Now this everyman spends large chunks of his days in meetings with Hollywood executives pitching him movies and TV shows... He also plays the lead role.
After grinding out a living for twenty years, telling family-friendly jokes, most of it outside the glare of the mainstream, Bargatze has finally made it big.
