Nate Bargatze, a hugely popular comedian, recently got his big break hosting a major awards show – the 2025 Emmys. It was a natural fit, as he kicked off the event with a bit based on the viral SNL sketch that significantly boosted his fame. In that sketch, he played the inventor of television, confidently predicting the future of the medium while answering questions from his bewildered colleagues (played by Bowen Yang, James Austin Johnson, and Mikey Day). The sketch mainly served as a setup for his stand-up, and he joked about everything from the complicated plot of Severance to the questionable educational value of programs on The Learning Channel. The humor was generally lighthearted, with playful jabs at CBS (referred to as the “Caucasian Broadcast System”), streaming services (“a new way to lose money”), and even the shows competing for Emmys, which he jokingly dismissed as not very popular.

After a brief introduction by Stephen Colbert, Nate Bargatze presented the award for Best Actor in a Comedy Series as a way to quickly change into a tuxedo before performing his actual stand-up routine. Instead of telling jokes, Bargatze spent most of his time explaining a plan he’d previously discussed on *Jimmy Kimmel Live* to encourage short acceptance speeches. He announced he would donate $100,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of America, subtracting $1,000 for every second over the 45-second limit – though winners could *add* to the donation by keeping their speeches brief. With his trademark dry humor, Bargatze joked, “Don’t go crazy, because I am paying for this.” While his monologue wasn’t particularly outstanding, it was admirable that Bargatze backed up his words with a financial incentive to keep things concise.
