The standup stalwart will lead Saturday’s sketches with help from musical guest The Foo Fighters
Standup comedians have long been an essential tributary for Saturday Night Live. Lorne Michaels has always been wise to stick a few in the cast alongside sketch and improv comedians. The mix of all styles makes the show work when it’s cooking. Yet, it’s been some time since a pure standup comedian hosted. We’re not talking about Dave Chappelle, Amy Schumer, or Bill Burr, comics who have already transcended their stage into the up tiers of celebritydom.
Fresh off breaking the attendance record at Nashville’s Bridgestone Arena, which Bargatze admitted was “crazy, dude,” the comic is capping off a big year, having already set a record with his January Prime Video special, Hello World, the most-streamed original comedy special in its first 28 days. He even beat Jim Gaffigan for the distinction—despite having had a show on TV Land for two seasons, Gaffigan should also host SNL, too.
