The holiday season has officially kicked off in Nashville, and what better way to celebrate than with a delightfully entertaining Christmas special? Comedian Nate Bargatze recently hosted his very first Christmas special titled ‘Nate Bargatze’s Nashville’, and it’s spreading festive cheer with a splash of humor! The special was recorded in November at the iconic Grand Ole Opry House and aired on CBS this past Thursday. For those who missed it, don’t worry! It is also available for streaming on Paramount+.
Produced by none other than Lorne Michaels, the mastermind behind ‘Saturday Night Live,’ the special is packed with an irresistible mix of stand-up comedy, skits, and celebrity appearances. Bargatze wowed the audience right from the get-go with his signature deadpan humor as he opened the show with a charming monologue, sharing a nostalgic tale about his very first job at Opryland. Spoiler alert: It involved a funny mishap with a dog while he was working at a dog kennel!
Adding a musical flair to the night, the audience enjoyed performances from renowned artists, including Noah Kahan, Carrie Underwood, and Darius Rucker, who also served as the house band. It truly was a celebration of music, laughter, and the magic of the season!
Bargatze also took the opportunity to create a playful promo video during the show, urging folks to visit Nashville but then hilariously suggesting they should leave right after. The promo also featured commentary from other big names like Martina McBride, Jelly Roll, and comedian Jimmy Fallon, all adding their own humorous touch regarding Nashville’s rapid growth. Bargatze’s laid-back style of humor poked light-hearted fun at the influx of new residents, making everyone chuckle while giving a peculiar yet lovable nudge on the tourism scene.
The special wasn’t just laughter and music; the skits were a major highlight! In a particularly funny segment, Bargatze donned the role of Gabriel the angel, explaining the quirks of modern Christmas traditions to Joseph and Mary, portrayed by SNL cast members Ashley Padilla and Mikey Day. The humor was further amplified as they embraced conversations about Christmas tree decorations and the never-ending battle of holiday songs.
Another clever skit featured Bargatze as a record executive brainstorming with Noah Kahan about the music industry. Their light-hearted banter about artistic inspiration based on geography added another layer of fun to the evening. In yet another scene, Bargatze headed over to the Tennessee Titans training facility to provide “inspiration” to the players, which humorously ended up boring them instead!
Derrick Stroup, another hilarious comedian from the special, brought a taste of Southern humor with his own stories, connecting with the audience in a relatable way. Stroup recently released a new album and is enjoying his tour with Bargatze, sharing lots of laughs along with his Southern roots.
For fans eager for more, Bargatze has big plans in the works, including a new Netflix special slated for December 24, 2024, and a massive 66-date ‘Big Dumb Eyes World Tour’ starting in 2025. With so much excitement ahead, there’s no doubt that this Nashville Christmas special has set the stage for an unforgettable holiday season! So grab your hot cocoa, kick back, and get ready for a whole lot of holiday cheer—because Nate Bargatze’s Nashville Christmas is streaming now on Paramount+ and CBS.com!
