Saturday Night Live
Summary
The Nate BargatzeSNLepisode had some of the good sketches of the time of year , and the George Washington one may have hit the top of my personal ranking . Nate Bargatze is a longtime rack - up comedian who has only of late broken into stardom . The Nashville , Tennessee comic , who works clean-living , has been delighting consultation with his hilarious stories and bemused reactions , all told with a thin Southern swing , that make every word out of his back talk funny . Even the most banal story becomes a riot when Bargatze tells it .
I was a turn surprised that Bargatze was selectedto hostSNLseason 49 , episode 3 . Again , I like the guy rope , but it ’s not like he ’s a movie superstar . SNLhas had plenty of stand - up comic host , Pete Davidson hosted the season premiere , but usually , they ’re also big - name actors . I ’m so glad they did invite Bargatze because his episode , from the monologue wherehe cue the audience , " reading is the Francis Scott Key to smart"to a skit where he copiously apologized to Kenan Thompson for making unbelievable soul food for thought , was fantastic . And that ’s not even to observe " Washington ’s Dream " .
Saturday Night Live has been on the air since 1975 , with lot of iconic study over the decades . Here are some of the best SNL skit of all time .
Why The Nate Bartgatze “Washington’s Dream” Sketch Is The Show’s Best
Nate Bargatze Is The Perfect Weird George Washington
compose by Mikey Day and Streeter Seidel , " Washington ’s Dream " is one of the funniestSNLsketches I can remember in recent years . In the sketch , James Austin Johnson , Bowen Yang , Kenan Thompson , and Day are dressed as American Revolutionary troops . anxious about their potential difference for success , George Washington show up , played by a Nate Bargatze who look like he has just woken up from a nap . Washington inspires his flock by reminding them what they are fighting for : freedom , specifically to use our own marque of weird unit measurements .
The melodious invitee for season 49 , episode 3 was the Foo Fighters .
I ’m a proud American . I root for the US in the Olympics and light de jure purchased fireworks on the 4th of July . But never before have I felt up so patriotic when it comes to our very odd and unintuitive units of mensuration . Bargatze lists off closely every scientific building block of measurement , with each one being more ridiculous than the last . None of the assembled soldiers can follow his caravan of thought process and that ’s not even the best part of the skit .

Bargatze playact this weirdly fixated Washington perfectly and his pauses before admitting each unit of measurement make it seem like he roll in the hay how much of a bad approximation it is , but he ’s deal ahead anyway .
I laugh the hardest each time Kenan ’s quality , a Black soldier , earnestly asked Washington what would happen to men of color after the war . " You asked about the temperature , " Washington replies after a white intermission . Bargatze plays this weirdly fix Washington perfectly and his suspension before admitting each unit of measuring makes it seem like he know how much of a bad idea they are , but he ’s plowing before anyway . I ’ve been there . Seidell and Day utter withIndieWireabout the skit , saying ,
Does he ever play it dead . I postulate Bargatze to resurrectDrunk Historyso I can see him as more oddball historical figures .
