Nate Bargatze, who has hosted Saturday Night Live twice, had largely escaped the limelight at the dizzying spectacle at the White House on Sunday until Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., uploaded a snap of the trio together on Instagram, with Vice President JD Vance in the background.
Bargatze, though, posted nothing to his 3.1 million Instagram followers. It was crickets over on X, too, with no mention of his weekend foray into the heart of MAGA.
Well, that’s upsetting. I was genuinely a fan. I’m not entirely surprised, though. A lot of his material has to do with him being kind of dumb about how the world works and his wife having to think for the both of them.
I’ve only seen the one special, and I thought it was his delivery. Just a slow walk through the story.
