Bargatze recently hosted “Saturday Night Live” for the second time in a year, to rave reviews, with Vulture.com asking the question, “Has Nate Bargatze cracked the SNL

code?” Bargatze hosted “SNL” for the first time in 2023, securing high ratings for the program with Vanity Fair calling him, “A great Saturday Night Live host” and Entertainment Weekly exclaiming, “A frighteningly funny Halloween episode.”
