Comedian Nate Bargatze makes his debut tonight as the host of the Emmys.

Viewers, and the stars in attendance, will be watching to see the approach Bargatze takes to the delicate balance of keeping things lighthearted while also making jokes that will make headlines.

The comedian – dubbed the “nicest man in stand-up” by The Athletic – previously said he wants to make the show “lively and fun” and will keep the jokes focused on himself, the same self-deprecating approach he takes in his stand-up shows.
