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.
“Nate Bargatze can support Trump. Nate Bargatze can attend Trump’s White House UFC party. Nate Bargatze can pose for photos with political figures,” one person posted. “What Nate Bargatze can’t do is all of those things and then pull the ‘I’m not political’ card like we’re all f—king idiots.”
Nah, I boycott anyone who is a celebrity, tech leader, etc. that supports trump.
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
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.
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?
That fuckin’ creepy weirdo RFK is married?
Kinda validated Larry in a ton of ways.
I have no idea who this is.
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.
I vaguely recognize his name from a girl on Tinder. You aren’t missing much.
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.
Who? I’m getting old
Uh, which one is the comedian? They all look like maga shit heads and none seem to be funny at all. Unless you mean Canadian, and by that account no none of them look Canadian either.
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.
This is sad.
wasn’t it obvious?
No, not really. I really liked his special and his SNL stuff, it was storytelling comedy.
weird. I saw a trailer for his movie and it was immediately obvious that he’s square in the low-information, white suburban guy demographic that’s been floating Trump for over 10 years.
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?
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.
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.
…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.
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.
Did he go to Saudi too?
He did, but not on the big event that the others did. He did a show earlier than that. I don’t know what the conditions were, but I imagine they were similar.
He’s not on the wikipedia list, but I have no idea if it’s complete.
