Your Friend, Nate Bargatze will host the 2025 Emmys

A new generation of comics is making its mark on award season. In March, the Golden Globes announced that Nikki Glaser would be coming back for seconds after her successful hosting stint earlier this year. Now, deadpan comedian Nate Bargatze has officially been tapped to make his Emmy hosting debut in September. Aside from Oscar host Conan O’Brien (who’s pretty timeless anyway) that’s essentially a whole new class. Let’s see how long they all stick with the job.

Unlike some past emcees, Bargatze isn’t interested in roasting people or calling celebrities out. “I don’t want your family fighting. There’s plenty of times you’re going to be fighting, so I can be your one hour you don’t fight,” the comedian said of his style in a December New York Times profile. “I think everybody’s a very nice person in the grand scheme of things. I don’t like making people feel dumb and I don’t want to make fun of them. So I’ll be dumb and you can laugh with me or laugh at me.”
