Nate Bargatze is going primetime. The world’s top earning comic, according to Pollstar, has signed on to do his first primetime special, an hour-long, holiday-themed variety show for CBS.
Lorne Michaels and his Broadway Video are on board as producers of the hour, which will roll out in December and also stream on Paramount+.
“I’m extremely excited to be creating this special as I have long been a big fan of variety, and we don’t see enough of it,” Bargatze said in a statement announcing the news Monday.
“I want to make a great show for families to gather around and watch together and I couldn’t be in better hands than with this team.”
While many of the details are being kept under wraps, Bargatze intends to film the special Nov. 21 at the iconic Grand Ole Opry, where he got his start in comedy as an entry-level employee.
On this night, Bargatze will serve as master of ceremonies, as he guides the in-house audience and viewers at home through a mix of stand-up, sketch, pre-taped bits and musical performances.
