Emmys host shares his plan to keep speeches short
Nate Bargatze plans to donate $100,000 to the Boys and Girls Club of America — but there’s a catch
Have you watched all the shows? I’ve seen *** lot of commercials of the show. If you’re like Emmy host Nate Bargetzy and haven’t seen all the nominated shows, well, you might still watch the Emmy Awards for this. You’re making *** $100,000 donation to the Boys and Girls Club of America, which is amazing that you’re doing that, but there’s *** catch. Bargetzi says for every Emmy winner’s acceptance speech that exceeds the allotted 45 seconds. And Perfect choice of music. The donation shrinks by $1000 per second. Ouch, deposit too. If they go under, we will put money on top of it. So I would prefer them not all go that under because that can get pretty expensive and the amount of money I give the Boys and Girls Club is totally up to all of Hollywood. Either way, Bargetsi can afford it. He’s currently Billboard’s number one selling stand-up comic in America. His tour grossed more than $80 million last year alone. For his first Hollywood hosting gig. He’s getting advice from veterans like Nicki Glazer, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and Conan O’Brien. They’re all just kind of like, you just got to be you and trust that you know what you’re doing. Fortunate to learn that in other settings and so I don’t have to hopefully not learn it, you know, in front of Harrison Ford, right? Bargetsi says, sure, he’ll joke. About Hollywood, but in his trademark polite style like the cancellation of nominee Stephen Colbert’s late night show. Is that off limits, or are you going to address it? I think we’ll say something, but it’ll be done in *** fun, playful way. That family friendly comedic style has helped the Tennessee native gain wide appeal in an era where comedy often divides audiences. Barhetsi met his wife while working at Applebee’s. Welcome. And his daughter introduces him in many of his shows. His father was *** magician and *** clown. I have to ask, did you have *** fear of clowns growing up, because *** lot of kids do. I had *** joke about like I would say, have you ever been yelled at by *** clown because I have. And it’s pretty confusing to get yelled at by *** guy that’s got *** smile painted on his face. Bargetsi doesn’t fear the Emmy stage. In fact, this star can’t wait to be starstruck. Who are you excited to see? Ben Stiller? I’m excited to see. Well, Severance has the most nominations, so you will definitely meet Ben Stiller. We should cross paths, yes.
