Live from New York: It’s Nate Bargatze!

On Sunday night, the Nashville comedian will appear on the “Saturday Night Live” stage as the evening’s host. This is the second time Bargatze has been tapped to share his jokes live from Studio 8H at 30 Rockefeller Plaza.

Bargatze will appear in the second episode of the comedy show’s 50th season with musical guest Coldplay, who will be appearing on the show for the eighth time.

Last year, Bargatze made his “SNL” hosting debut on Oct. 28, where he earned praise for the acclaimed sketch “Washington’s Dream” alongside Kenan Thompson, Mikey Day, Bowen Yang and another Nashvillian, James Austin Johnson.

Maybe his George Washington character will make a reprise on Saturday night.

Following Bargatze’s “SNL” performance, Ariana Grande will perform on Oct. 12 and Stevie Nicks will appear as musical guest.

Michael Keaton and Billie Eilish will take the stage next week on October 19. John Mulaney and Chappell Roan will perform on November 2.
