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.
I love how he knew this was something he had to hide from his fanbase.
RFK’s wife Cheryl totally threw him under the bus. Great people.
They don’t think MAGA is anything to be embarrassed about.
If they did, they wouldn’t be lying about it.
Not sure how he would think it wouldn’t get out. I imagine it’s a highly photographed event.
Bro I swear to god standup comedians have such a weirdly high hit rate for being trash people
Stand-up was literally started as an idea by a man who self described as a fascist. Behind the Bastards did a decent two parter on it…last year?
You have to be an insane narcissist to believe you deserve millions of dollars to stand on stage by yourself and rattle off dick jokes.
I have no idea who this is.
I vaguely recognize his name from a girl on Tinder. You aren’t missing much.
No shade, but Nate Bargatze is one of the most popular standup comedians at the moment. He has released five stand up specials over the last 11ish years. He sells out arenas nationwide. My mom (a boomer) loves his clean comedy.
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.
This is sad.

No, not really. I really liked his special and his SNL stuff, it was storytelling comedy.

The movie may have made it obvious, but that came after his special and hosting SNL. I somewhat followed his rise, and it definitely wasn’t obvious from the beginning. His angle was basically dumb gen x husband/dad but he knows he’s dumb and is totally comfortable with it. That requires a level of introspection that isn’t normally seen in MAGA types, so imo he definitely started out seemingly harmless.
Why?
…was this not obvious to everyone? I watched maybe half of a set and turned it off because he seemed like a piece of shit.
Somehow, I knew this one without knowing it.
I had the same feeling. So this really isn’t that groundbreaking to me, also didn’t find him to be very funny.
Has anyone else mentioned, yet, the OpSec problems in having both Mr Trump and Mr Vance out on the lawn, sitting still, for hours at a time? Was Mike Johnson ordered to stay away as the survivor role?
Continuity of government is always in the security plan.
That fuckin’ creepy weirdo RFK is married?
Kinda validated Larry in a ton of ways.
Maybe he’s just gathering Intel for a comedy special where he talks about all the crazy shit that went down there.
I mean, I doubt it, but a person can dream.
Seems the normal pattern I guess. You put out something that sucks balls and the only thing left is to cozy up to the dumbest fucks on the planet AKA MAGA. And hope that those poor fucks have enough dough to afford a ticket to your shit movie.
Why do they all look the same?
Noooooo goddamn it Nate I loved your comedy style. Fuck me this is so frustrating.
I thought it was gonna be Shane Gillis that was gonna get shown as MAGA, while I liked when Bargatze hosted SNL I haven’t heard much of any thing of his since. A podcast I listen to said they attended a show of his and the youngest people there were in their 50s so it’s certainly lining up.
Shane Gillis was really obvious to me. For some reason, Bargatze was a surprise.
Is Gillis confirmed MAGA? i haven’t seen so yet and have heard clips of him rebuking Texas and Trump in the recent past.
He definitely was in his special on netflix. It’s hard to get that stink off, even if he’s changed his mind.
Thinking Trump is funny isn’t the same as being MAGA. I’m not saying he framed that “correctly” according to my own judgment, but there is a distinction here.
Edit: Sorry, I thought you were taking about Bergatze. Did you watch the Gillis special? He was all in on right wing politics.
If you were a celebrity, would you have gone to his White Trash House event?

Well fuck.
