Bargatze hosted Saturday Night Live for the second time last fall, to rave reviews, with Vulture.com asking the question, “Has Nate Bargatze Cracked The SNL code?” Last December, Nate co-produced a holiday variety special, Nate Bargatze’s Nashville Christmas, with Lorne Michaels for CBS.
On the silver screen, Bargatze will soon star in the family-friendly comedy, The Breadwinner, for TriStar Pictures which he co-wrote with Dan Lagana. He will also serve as an executive producer.

The first of the two specials, Your Friend, Nate Bargatze, premiered globally on Netflix December 24th, 2024, and was in the top 10 most watched shows globally for two weeks and nominated for three Emmy Awards.
