Nate Bargatze plans pivot to movies after 2 more comedy specials: 'I don't want to overstay my welcome'

Comedian Nate Bargatze plans a pivot to movies, saying he 'could see maybe one more special' after his next Netflix special, but is ready to 'get out of the way' for rising comedians.

In just over a decade, Bargatze has released five acclaimed comedy specials, hosted Saturday Night Live twice, and earned a Grammy nomination. Bargatze revealed in December that he personally pushed for the sketch to make air, reflecting, "What I realized is you do have a lot more say than you think you do at SNL." Though Bargatze hasn't appeared in any non-sketch or skit comedy-based films or TV series, his star is most certainly still on the rise.
