11. I love Nate Bargatze

I discovered him just before he hosted the first time.

He just has a low-key observational style of humor and deadpan delivery that I like.

Some people like edgy and topical in their standup, a la George Carlin.

I don’t—I like stand up comedy as an escape from the hassles of the outside world, so guys like Nate hit the right note.

If I want topical in my comedy, I want it in a specific form where I know what I’m getting, like John Oliver’s Last Week Tonight.

Pure standup, however, I just like to be down to earth and ordinary.
