In 2023 Nate Bargatze came over The AV Club and told a story about how his wife and daughter left in the middle of one of his comedy specials because the former got too tired. Hopefully she stayed awake the whole time, because her school’s career day plays a big role in the trailer. “They sat me down with a surgeon, and I think they did that on purpose, almost to show the kids, ‘Here’s the difference between reading,'” he jokes, later explaining that was his advice insisted that the children could become comedians pretty much straight away and no longer had to go to school. That’s a cool dad.



Bargatze also talked about his reserved sense of humor The AV Club“The closer I can get off and on stage, the better, I think.” He obviously maintained the same philosophy during filming Your friend, Nate Bargatze. He seems exactly like that: an approachable, very funny friend.

He’s also currently the highest-earning comedian in the world according to Pollstar, so maybe not Only Your friend. He too recently hosted Saturday Night Liveis co-producing an upcoming holiday variety special with Lorne Michaels for CBS, has broken venue records everywhere, and has a book, Big Dumb Eyes: Tales from a Simpler Mindwill be released in May 2025. It may not be surgery, that’s nothing to laugh about.

Your friend, Nate Bargatze Premieres December 24th on Netflix.
