The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards came to the Peacock Theater downtown on Sunday, Sept. 14, with a broadcast on CBS. Comedian Nate Bargatze brought his dry wit as host, kicking things off with a pledge to donate $100,000 to the Boys & Girls Clubs of America, which was adjusted by how long (or short) winners’ speeches ran. Long speeches dipped the pot, but he ended up teaming with CBS to donate $350,000.
Hailing from Nashville, Bargatze was likely picked for his 50-state appeal. And he can definitely afford the donation — he had the highest-grossing comedy tour in 2024, raking in $82.2M in ticket sales.
