Nate Bargatze, who has hosted Saturday Night Live twice, had largely escaped the limelight at the dizzying spectacle at the White House on Sunday until Cheryl Hines, the wife of Health and Human Services Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr., uploaded a snap of the trio together on Instagram, with Vice President JD Vance in the background.

Bargatze, though, posted nothing to his 3.1 million Instagram followers. It was crickets over on X, too, with no mention of his weekend foray into the heart of MAGA.

This is sad.

wasn't it obvious?

No, not really. I really liked his special and his SNL stuff, it was storytelling comedy.

weird. I saw a trailer for his movie and it was immediately obvious that he's square in the low-information, white suburban guy demographic that's been floating Trump for over 10 years.

The movie may have made it obvious, but that came after his special and hosting SNL. I somewhat followed his rise, and it definitely wasn't obvious from the beginning. His angle was basically dumb gen x husband/dad but he knows he's dumb and is totally comfortable with it. That requires a level of introspection that isn't normally seen in MAGA types, so imo he definitely started out seemingly harmless.
